The new native experience is a vast improvement from the early days of the first build I saw @gillianim. I've noticed many of the flights are routing from Skyscanner and redirect the flight search to a web view. Any plans on implementing their API (http://business.skyscanner.net/p...) in order to keep the experience within Hitlist?
@daveambrose it's on the development timeline. Probably 3 months away unless we raise a significant amount of capital and are able to build quicker (hint hint)
I love this update. There is a lot of fun little details. For example when viewing a city if you turn your phone horizontal it shows your current location and the path to the destination. For someone that is not the greatest at geography, it's a nice little touch. I also love the new layout for the profile page, simple way to look at the data about the places I visited, my hitlist, and the info about my friends.
Hi there all - CEO of Hitlist here happy to answer any questions. Big highlights in the update:
- completely new UI that makes it easier to navigate to relevant information
- updated profile that allows you to more easily explore where friends have been & get inspiration from them
- expanded city & deal list - around 20x the volume we had before
All built in the spirit of making it easier for everyone to travel more!
I have yet to actually *book* a flight after using Hitlist, but I still love the app and the emails. Someday I'll get that spur-of-the-moment flight to Maui for $400 :P
Adioso has been doing this for a while and I have been using them since they launched. They also have pretty accurate search built into the product aswell, how does this improve on that experience?
@acondurache I've been a fan of Adioso for years but have never really latched on to their UI. They also didn't have a social connection for a while, and even now that they do I can't see where my friends are planning on going. For me personally, the social element is the most useful part of Hitlist, as it helps inform where I'll travel (and whose couch I'll crash on).
There are a LOT of apps that do some of the same things that Hitlist does, but we're trying to put together a simple, accessible one-stop-shop that just works.
