Smart Search Enhances Experience on Travel Inspiration App

Alexandria, VA, January 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Only a week after launch, GoingPlaces, the new travel inspiration app, has released an updated version 1.2 with an intuitive smart search, along with multiple improvements and countless more travel photos and trip ideas. “The app is learning with every swipe users take,” says Sergei Dubograev, CEO of Pinxter Inc, who has developed GoingPlaces. “It was important to incorporate the smart search filter in, so users can manage the explore tab to any likes they want.  You name it, now you can easily find it.”

With the new smart search feature, users can now search all app content to cater to their destination, activity and travel supplier preferences.  Sergei Dubograev adds, “We’re excited to continuously learn more about our users so we can make their experience on GoingPlaces better and better with each version.  Looking ahead, we’ll be focused on finding ways to prioritize content and send tailored recommendations to users based on the data collected on their needs and wants.”

"The combination of our 'Explore' & 'Trending' tabs satisfies all of our users' curiosities."

Cal Simmons, Founder, GoingPlaces

Beyond the noteworthy “Explore” tab and new search features, the team at GoingPlaces has seen a huge interest from users engaging in the “Trending” tab to see what’s popular in the GoingPlaces community.  “It’s clear that travelers want to know where others have already visited and where they’re going next.  At the same time, we know our users love to get ‘insider information’ on how and why they should travel to destinations that are a little less known.  The combination of our ‘Explore’ & ‘Trending’ tabs satisfies all of our users’ curiosities,” says Founder, and 30 year travel industry veteran, Cal Simmons.
