STOP PRESS: The First iPhone APP for Gloucestershire!

A major boost for tourism in Gloucestershire!

The first APP for the tourism, leisure and recreation industry for Gloucestershire is now available for locals and visitors to the county.

Explore Gloucestershire have pioneered the way to bring yet another exciting way to explore our great county using the latest technology. After months of development it's now free to download from the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users.

Karen Davis from Explore Gloucestershire said, "The success and ease of use of the iPhone has been the deciding factor in developing the new APP, and while we do understand that not everyone has one, we will be customising for the android smart phone market in the near future".

She went on to say, "APP's are the latest technological innovation and with so many different types on offer, our research showed there wasn't an APP available to promote what Gloucestershire has to offer - so we decided to fill this void in the market place. The APP's content is taken from our website www.exploregloucestershire.co.uk and offers a comprehensive list of what's on in the county, where to stay, eat and drink, as well as a vast list of visitor attractions. There's also an ever-growing Offers section, which has recently been introduced to the website and included on the APP.

One of the best features about our APP is that it is fully GPS enabled, thus offering an added extra for location tracking and directions, so for example, if someone is staying at a hotel in Cirencester they can use the APP to find nearby events, activities, entertainment and maybe an offer too."

The very easy-to-use APP is divided into five sections for Gloucester, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, Forest of Dean and the Severn Vale. A filtering system enables users to fine tune searches on the APP and Explore Gloucestershire have said that an even more advanced filter search is imminent.
