Jetsetter UK debuts on the App Store for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

Jetsetter.co.uk, the leading members-only travel website, today announced their Jettsetter App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App Store. The app features 360-degree high-resolution images, with a magazine-like design and professionally written editorial, making it the perfect app for any traveler looking for the best insight, advice and deals on jaw-dropping properties and experiences.

The app provides a virtual window into Jetsetter’s hand-selected, verified hotels and resorts around the world via immersive, 360-degree images. Jetsetter’s engineering team custom-designed a camera to shoot dozens of high-resolution photos, which are stitched together to form immersive 360-degree images, providing a visual experience that enables travelers to capture the feel of a destination without leaving home.

“We know Jetsetter members love to be inspired by the stunning images and compelling editorial on our site and we wanted to take this one step further with our mobile app,” said Rob Deeming, Jetsetter general manager of Europe. “Our app has been designed like an interactive travel magazine, with 360 degree views of some of the most incredible hotels from around the world, allowing members to really immerse themselves in the places they want to stay, wherever they are. And with a booking option in the app, not only does it mean members can tune in for their daily ‘travel fix’, but they can book one of our exclusive deals on the go so they won’t miss out on that trip of a lifetime.”

Key features include:

  •   Design inspired by glossy travel magazines featuring curated holiday collections featuring top picks from Jetsetter’s editors.
