Virgin Atlantic releases bespoke version of Trip Journal app
Virgin Atlantic has released a bespoke edition of iQuest’s award-winning Trip Journal app for iPhone and Android.
Trip Journal Virgin Atlantic Edition, the fourth app in the airline’s portfolio, allows travellers to log their holiday experiences and share them with family and friends.
Created in conjunction with development partner iQuest, the app enables users to share pictures and videos on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Picasa and Flickr. It also includes destination guides and travel tips from the airline’s vtravelled.com social community.
Other features include route tracking using GPS technology and a map viewing facility to allow trip progress to be tracked in real time.
Acting head of e-commerce Fergus Boyd said: “This app is another free service we are offering for our customers and yet another great example of how Virgin Atlantic continues to innovate in mobile and social media.”
The original Trip Journal app took first prize in the travel category of Google’s Android Developer Challenge in December 2009, and was nominated for Best Travel App in the 2011 Webby Awards.
