Gone are the days when the idea of travelling was to visit just a few done-to-death tourist destinations. Now, people like to explore the destinations they are travelling to from their own perspective. Reviews, first-hand accounts and travel apps are playing a big role in customising one’s travel experience and that’s exactly what myTrip does. The travel app myTrip is your jack of all trades app that provides you all the information about a specific destination, hotels tariffs, flights, places to visit, things to do, what to shop, car rentals and what not!
mpTrip aims to help people who love to travel and document it at every level. The app enables you to share and sync your travelling plans on more than just one device, automatically and most important transparently.
A travel app myTrip involved a lot of features like sharing travel plans, uploading pictures, text, automatic synchronization, backup and privacy policy. The more the features the greater challenge to integrate them and make them run smoothly. The main challenges we faced while creating myTrip app were implementing the share the travel plans with other travellers feature. This function involved automatic synchronization, backup, which required a lot of attention. We had to make sure that it is safe and user-friendly. The biggest task was to add this feature in the middle of the development process. But, we managed to implement all the features and deliver a refined product.
myTrip is a travel website that not only has a lot of features but it also involved the implementation of new features in the middle of the development phase. To kick start the project we created a prototype first and once the client gave a go-ahead on it we started the actual design process. We followed the agile methodology for the entire process.
myTrip has gained a good number of market share by going past 100,000+ downloads/installs in a very short span of time. With an average rating of 4 stars, users have given thumbs up to this highly user-friendly travel app. A user calling the app ‘brilliant’ has written in his review, “We're planning a trip to Canada this year, which is complicated by meeting different friends and relatives for different parts of the trip. Now I have all the info I need at my fingertips and when needed it can be shared with the others so we all know what we're doing!”
