TripIt introduces Windows phone app

 

TripIt, a mobile travel organizer from Concur,
announced that its free Windows phone app is available in the Windows Phone
Marketplace. Now, travelers with Windows Phone devices can access all their
travel plans in one place, and share them with others.

 

TripIt
makes organizing travel easier – no more frantic searches for flight numbers in
the inbox. Instead, travelers have all trip details at their fingertips on
their smartphone, calendar or online – for free.

 

To get started, travelers simply forward travel
confirmation emails from anywhere they book to. TripIt automagically creates a simple, smart itinerary, combining travel plans with
maps, driving directions and more – which can easily be shared with others.

 

The TripIt for Windows Phone app also supports TripIt
Pro, the premium service which acts like a personal travel assistant while
traveling. With all the benefits of TripIt – which makes it easy to organize
and share travel information from one place – TripIt Pro goes much further by
keeping the traveler in the know with status alerts and fare refund
opportunities.

 

The Windows Phone app provides TripIt Pro users with
access to all their frequent traveler points in one place. Greater peace of
mind while traveling is available for $49/year.

 

“Windows Phone is backed by a rich developer
ecosystem that is creating a variety of quality apps and games, like TripIt,
from Concur, which help users take advantage of the phone’s dynamic
design,” said Todd Brix, senior director, Windows Phone Marketplace,
Microsoft Corp.

 

“TripIt is a great example of the rich applications
that people will find on Windows Phone Marketplace to get the most out of their
phone,” Brix added.

 

The Windows Phone app adds to TripIt’s growing collection
of smartphone and tablet-native apps, which includes iPhone, iPad, Android and
BlackBerry. Features were designed to leverage the Windows Phone platform, and
include the ability to add, edit and share trips.

 

“We heard from many Windows Phone users that they
wanted a native TripIt application to make traveling easier,” said Gregg
Brockway, general manager and executive vice president of TripIt.

 

“We have an active mobile roadmap and will solve
problems for travelers on all the platforms they are using,” Brockway
added.
