SilverpointGo Travel App Coming Soon

Silverpoint is proud to announce that our highly-anticipated travel app, which has been several months in the making, will be launching very soon.

With an estimated release date of mid-March, the SilverpointGo app will include a wide range of travel-related features and will be available as a free download to both members and non-members.

No matter which mobile device you prefer – the app will be available for both Android and iOS – the SilverpointGo app is the perfect on-the-go companion for travellers looking for the lowdown on their holiday destination.

Locations where Silverpoint resorts are based benefit from an in-depth overview, including sections on “Accommodation”,” Location”, “Going Out”, “What to Do” and “Good to Know”.

Each featured venue – restaurants, resorts, theme parks etc – has a social media overlay which enables users to share the information with their chosen social network and “check in” with location-based, social networking websites such as Facebook and Foursquare.

Users can also book accommodation at a Silverpoint resort or request more information about the company and its range of holiday products and promotional offers.

SilverpointGo also benefits from a maps feature, enabling the user to pinpoint the location of any venue that they are interested in visiting.

The “Rest of the World” section includes a collection of “Dream Destinations” to entice users’ interest in exotic locations, as well as a “Travel Search” feature that utilises Freebase content to provide comprehensive information about anywhere on the planet.

Silverpoint’s CEO – Mark Cushway – had this to say about the upcoming release: “research and feedback has shown that more and more of our customers are accessing their information via phones and mobile devices.

“We wanted to create something that would be of real value to users and the feedback we have had from our market research is that a travel guide would be something that people would really use and make the most of.

“By providing an app that has real usability – and is free to download – we have an excellent opportunity to introduce and publicise the Silverpoint brand to a new demographic via an exciting and rapidly expanding medium”.
