mTrip has launched it’s first major redesign for both its commercial and white label application

(TRAVPR.COM) CANADA - February 21st, 2014 - With over 2.5 million downloads of their mobile applications for iPhone and Android, leading travel guide publisher mTrip has announced the launch of their latest major update. Version 2.5 (V2.5) puts the focus on the application’s user interface and simplifying travel for all types of travelers.

Moving away from their signature skeuomorphic design, mTrip has completely redesigned their travel guides with a flat user interface. The new design is a radical shift from the outgoing design, however, offers travelers countless improvements in ergonomics and simplicity throughout the entire application.

Popular features such as the offline maps and directions, nearby places, trip planner, guide, and sharing features have new life and require less actions to execute with better results. These improvements are also accompanied by the addition of several new features including new ways to plan trips, sort the guide, and a search feature directly on the map itself.

Also benefiting from this major update and complete redesign are mTrip’s existing and future white label clients. As a key player in white label solutions for the travel industry, mTrip offers white label solutions for tourism boards, tour operators & travel agencies and travel publishers.
