July 9, 2012
One of the more popular travel apps for iPhone has received a significant update. WorldMate, an itinerary management and travel-booking app, has been completely redesigned and now includes the ability to book hotels.
First released in 2009, WorldMate Version 4 includes personalized hotel accommodations based on the traveler’s context, preferences, and profile. Additionally, the app offers instant search for same-day reservations of nearby hotels, as well as special deals for hotels in the U.S. and international destinations regardless of your time frame.
Other new app features include:
- Counter offers for hotels booked outside of WorldMate- better prices on the same room, better prices on similar rooms, or a much better room for about the same price
- A massive inventory of rooms spanning over 100,000 hotel properties worldwide
- Storage of corporate and personal credit cards for express checkout for business and leisure trips
- Room prices displayed and payment settled in any of 20 currencies
- User-customized sorting and filtering by price, star rating, or proximity to nearby points of interest
- Mapped search results pinpointed the hotel locations
We believe we’re on target to deliver the best hotel booking conversion rates in the industry—period.The WorldMate for iPhone app is available for free in the App Store. A Gold version is also available for $9.99. With it you gain pushed flight alerts, real-time flight status integrated into your itinerary, iPhone Calendar app sync, and no ads.
