KAYAK Adds GateGuru To Its Popular iPhone App

Leading In-Airport Tool Helps Travelers Find Amenities
NEW YORK, NY/May 10, 2010 – Mobility Apps, LLC, the Company behind the revolutionary GateGuru iPhone application, today announced a new partnership with KAYAK, the world’s largest travel search site. Through this partnership, GateGuru’s comprehensive database of airport amenities, including the expansion of international airports, will now be available to users of the KAYAK iPhone application.

GateGuru’s database of amenities will now be integrated into KAYAK’s iPhone app under a new feature called “Airports”. Similar to the GateGuru app, the user’s location will determine the nearest airport, or users can select any available airport across the United States, Canada and London. Once the desired airport has been selected, users can access Gate Guru’s entire list of food, shop and service amenities. Users can filter the full list by selecting various categories to quickly and easily find a specific type of amenity. Through this partnership, users will be able to launch or download the full GateGuru app directly from the KAYAK iPhone app.

“GateGuru provides a great service,” said KAYAK Chief Architect, Bill O’Donnell. “KAYAK’s mobile app has comprehensive travel search tools as well as a travel planning tool. Helping people in the airport is a natural addition to our mobile services.”

GateGuru, which launched in December 2009, has quickly become the leading in-airport resource. The application, which has over 100,000 downloads, covers more than 8,000 amenities across close to 100 airports in the United States, Canada and London. Additionally, the GateGuru community has posted over 11,500 insider reviews and tips as well as over 2,000 photos, thereby adding a collective voice to the most accurate and in-depth database of in-airport amenities. GateGuru has been featured in over 75 media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNN, AmericanWay Magazine and many others.

GateGuru iPhone App Launches in Time for Holiday Travel

New In-Airport Tool Revolutionizes The Traveling Experience

NEW YORK, NY/December 7, 2009 – Mobility Apps, LLC today announced the availability of GateGuru, the newest iPhone application designed to guide travelers within the top 85 U.S. airports and give them access to the latest information on in-airport food, shops, and services. For the first time ever, travelers will have a tool to inform them of their surroundings and provide tips, photos, ratings and reviews about in-airport amenities to enhance the overall travel experience.

Before GateGuru, no technology, central source of information or active and engaging online community existed to help travelers locate and rate in-airport businesses and amenities. GateGuru bridges this gap, and just like its name, serves as a leading light for travelers to quickly and easily know their options and find the best food, shop or service.

“In the age of robust mobile technology and instant access to information, the airport market has lagged behind,” said Dan Gellert, CEO of Mobility Apps LLC. “People spend approximately $6 billion and one billion hours within U.S. airports, yet there has never been a technology or reliable resource to help travelers. GateGuru was designed to address this unmet need. No longer will travelers be at the mercy of their surroundings.”

Gaining additional insight into the in-airport marketplace and making smarter purchasing decisions offers a new opportunity for both businesses and consumers. In addition to its use as a guide, GateGuru contains a well-informed and active community, generated by user tips, photos, ratings, reviews and recommendations. Through fellow traveler’s feedback, GateGuru will have its finger on the pulse of the in-airport consumer market.

GateGuru is the new travel companion in the era of Web 2.0 and instant access. For additional information and background on GateGuru, as well as a demo of the application, please visit the website at: www.gateguruapp.com.
