It bridges the gap where some trip planning sites may lose their users, and that's in the spontaneity of travel. Some things just aren't planned, because no one wants to plan their night on the town minute by minute . A mobile app that will show me bars and restaurants in the area that my friends liked is hugely useful -- I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
