What can you use the app for?

Tourist Eye presents travelers with a number of tools to help them plan a trip. The website supplies the user with personalized recommendations that are created based on the user’s tastes and preferences. The site includes data for over 60,000 destinations that includes monuments, restaurants, hotels and other trip-related locations. The user can share their Tourist Eye trip details on Facebook and Twitter. The built in trip planner helps the user decide what to do each day they are away. Recommendations are integrated with the trip planner so the user can see suggested destinations while they plan. The user can access their personalized travel guide while they are away online or with an Android or iPhone device. The user can edit their itinerary while they travel so it stays up to date when something new catches the user’s eye.

What is the history and popularity of the app?

Founders Ariel Camus and Javier Fernandez Escribano came up with Tourist Eye after experiencing their own need for a better, more convenient travel guide. Traditional paper guides were not always the easiest to use, and could be lost while going from one place to the next. Tourist Eye was intended to give travelers a place to plan their trip that is never lost as long as they have access to the internet. The website was founded in February of 2010 and continues to attract new travelers looking for an easy way to create a trip that meets their needs as well as their personal preferences.

What are the differences to other apps?

Tourist Eye works well, however it really doesn’t offer anything unique or new. There are so many travel applications and websites already out there that it is difficult to create something truly original. Tourist Eye covers a lot of ground geographically speaking, which might make it more appealing to some travelers. The trip planner includes personalized recommendations, thumbnail images of locations and all information on one page. Tourist Eye may not be unique, but it is a helpful tool for anyone planning to travel.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

Tourist Eye provides users with a combination of text and images to help them get more out of their travel dashboard. Each location is presented with a name and thumbnail image so the user can easily find what they need. A list of locations is presented along the left side so the user can view their route. Overall Tourist Eye is very well organized and presents the user with all the details they need without forcing them to navigate across many pages.

How does the registration process work?

A new user can join the Tourist Eye community by clicking one of the two gold buttons on the homepage. After doing so, the user is directed to the registration form. The top of the form includes two blue buttons that invite the user to sign up with a Facebook or Twitter account. If the user prefers to create new account, they can fill out the form positioned below the buttons. The form asks for a valid email address, name, password and terms of use acceptance. A second check box at the bottom of the form is available for users who do not wish to receive commercial communications from Tourist Eye.

What does it cost to use the application?

Tourist Eye is available to all travelers for free. The user only has to stop by and sign up to get access to all of the website’s current features. No subscription is required and the user doesn’t have to make any purchases or reservations to maintain an account. This is definitely a good choice considering how many free travel applications are already out there. Users can plan their journey online without adding to the cost of a vacation or business trip.

Who would you recommend the application to?

Tourist Eye is intended for anyone who plans to travel in the future. The application includes many destinations from all over the world, including London, Paris, Rome, New York, Prague and Lisbon. The user can sign up for free and begin planning their trip or receive personalized recommendations to help them decide which landmarks and attractions to see and which to skip. The site contains a great deal of information that can make travel planning more engaging and convenient.
