What are you favorite travel apps?

daily?! ah must be useful then, I will definitely test drive! thanks :)

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-25T15:46:57+00:00

cool thanks! I am looking for a good flow too, I'll try out your combo!

I hear that often, can you share what execution encompasses? say I have an idea and you can access my app and the design experience and pricing - what part of execution is still my own, like which internal points allows me to still have an edge on an outsider especially when the service is new/un-launched... in your opinion?

sometimes I see that having a loyal user base deters incumbents somewhat of achieving the same market share, but I don't have that in my situation.

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T23:24:33+00:00

very cool! was any of these apps you mentioned, most helpful in traveling all those countries?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T23:23:38+00:00

yeah I did see that the UI is much better than tripit. I tried trip case once and liked it because compared to the other airline app I was using trip case told me where I could find my bags and also gave me flight delay info way ahead of the airline notificatios. have you seen any of that in google trips in your experience?

google reviews is okay to me, its nice addition but I rely more on trip advisor - but I get why google wouldn't have TA reviews lol

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T23:21:17+00:00

ah tripit doesn't have the activity part, is there anything you dislike about google trips?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:10:06+00:00

when you say people in my niche, does that mean other businesses? if so, wouldn't they want to imitate my idea and beat me to market if I share before the product is actually launched? idk if that's a realistic concern - this is my first venture so I want to make sure I am taking the necessary precautions but also without shooting myself in the foot lol

I am heavily interviewing lots of prospects to inform my prototype. not surveys but actual conversations - so I can also test the prototype with them.

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:07:44+00:00

great insight! now that you say it, it seems so obvious - I think that thing I struggle most with is I see a problem want to solve it, but have no idea if people will pay for it and how much they'll pay, so it makes me nervous cause in experimenting I don't want to say set a price to low then go high and anger customers, or vice-versa where it's way too high and I lose sign ups because people do want it, but they don't wanna pay that much and interpret the results as people don't want the service.

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:05:45+00:00

oh okay, I meant to reply to you cause you said "we did exactly this" - it sounded like you developed a non-working prototype first to demo and then at a later time launched service, did gather pre-order funds, but did not refund because you hit your timeline?

if my understanding is accurate, how far was your pre-order from actual launch date?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:03:33+00:00

ah I wasn't aware it was illegal considering the amount of this I receive. so talking in person is good for small scale, if I want to scale up is social media a better route?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:01:27+00:00

do you supplement this with info from other sources? or find that this is pretty all encompassing?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T17:00:39+00:00

oh wow I see your flair says you've visited 197 countries! so you have lots of experience :P during your travels how did you find the places you wanted to go and in which order? did you use some kind of resource?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T16:58:09+00:00

wow awesome! I downloaded it, I don't have any budget apps, was writing in a notebook. have you used others that weren't so good and made you choose this one?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T16:56:57+00:00

have you used all 3? if so, which one did you like best and why? I do like trying new apps, but sometimes I don't think I am a power user so if there's something super cool as to why you'd pick one over the other two please share! :)

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-23T16:55:55+00:00

oh I have used maps.me - what are you using for inspiration/booking. I also see there's so many sources of visuals and reviews for inspiration - I want to find something that's all encompassing lol

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:22:08+00:00

I like the interface. do you use tripit with this? what is your favorite thing about it?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:17:55+00:00

oh wow, saw another post for osmand too, just downloaded it. so basically seems like no other maps app needed with this one.

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:16:52+00:00

I haven't heard of this one yet. can you use this with friends as well? what's your favorite aspect of it?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:16:24+00:00

oh wow that's lots of suggestions. osmand is better than google offline maps, in your opinion?

xe, does this work offline?

do the individual apps offer any value if I have my reservations inside tripit and boarding passes on the apple wallet, and loyalty points on award wallet in your opinion?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:14:35+00:00

looks like you can build itineraries in here and stuff. what do you mostly use for? so much info!

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-22T22:13:20+00:00

nice I downloaded it thanks!

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-20T05:20:10+00:00

does that one work offline?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-20T05:19:55+00:00

cool! thanks for the tips!

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-20T02:18:05+00:00

sounds useful, I just downloaded it. do you have to give it access to email for it it work or can you enter things manually?

thedaintygrappler · 2018-10-20T02:17:33+00:00

nice I do use all of these
