About Travel Companion

TravelCompanion's goal is to let explore, plan, and remember travels. It has an integrated sign-in mechanism with either Facebook, Google, Apple, or email. This allows you to synchronize your data over all your different devices.

Explore: The explore feature offers a Google Map that allows you to search for desired destinations. Basic information about the destination and country as well as photos of the country, place, and geographical location can be retrieved. Information provided by Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Google, and LonelyPlanet about the destination is offered, too.

Plan: The plan feature allows you to add travel plans for destinations that you have previously explored. The travel plans include flights, public transport (including ferries), hotels, restaurants, and attractions.

Hotels, restaurants, and attractions can be searched by destination: You can drop a pin on the map, which triggers a search for the chosen place type and distance. The search can further be restricted by text search. Attractions are subdivided into various groups offered by Google Places, that can be chosen in a picker (e.g. amusement parks, zoos, general points of interest, etc.).

The plan overview displays all hotels, restaurants, and attractions. By tapping an item it is possible to delete it or to add a note. Furthermore, an image from the linked Explore photos can be chosen by tapping the placeholder image.

Finally, plans are subdivided into upcoming and past trips, depending on the travel date.

Remember: The remember feature displays past trips (or trips that have been started), where you can add photos from the gallery or camera to remember your trip.
