TripAdvisor Launches Apple Watch App for Timely Travel Advice

TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel site*, today announced the launch of the TripAdvisor Apple Watch app, available now on the App Store. The app, with features designed specifically for the new Apple Watch, provides access to TripAdvisor traveler reviews, ratings and photos of hotels, restaurants and attractions.

The Apple Watch includes a new feature called "Glances," which allows users to conveniently get updates from their favorite apps with a quick swipe up from the watch face.

The TripAdvisor Glance provides timely recommendations to help users discover nearby points of interest based on the person's location (using GPS) and time of day. For example, at noon, the TripAdvisor Glance will automatically find the highest-rated restaurant near the user's current location and suggest the place to go for lunch.

Additional TripAdvisor Apple Watch app features:

- Walking directions: Shows travelers their current location using GPS technology and provides directions to places of interest using Apple Maps.
- Saves: Allows travelers to save their favorite restaurants, attractions and hotels and view them later on another Apple device or on TripAdvisor.com.
- Helpful search options: Lets travelers adjust their search range for points of interest between 1, 5 and 10 miles and sort options, such as ranking businesses according to their popularity or by distance.

The TripAdvisor Apple Watch app will be available from the Apple Watch App Store beginning April 24. The TripAdvisor iPhone app is available now as a free download from the App Store.
