Re:An app to store and spend pocket change. on Sunday February 23, 2014 @09:30PM (#7288787)
I'm still working on the how. Currently building out a solution I've come up with.

I actually just watched a concept video for that very thing. I'll try to find the link. It would seem like a much faster process to just count the change yourself though, a lot less steps.

An app to store and spend pocket change.

What are your thoughts on a mobile app to store and use all your spare change? Are there still enough cash transactions to render such an application useful? Could this potentially lead to an increase in cash transactions knowing you wouldn't have to carry the coins around in your pocket?

Re:Booking.com App UI concept on Tuesday September 24, 2013 @03:28AM (#6436533)
Thanks or the feedback! That's exactly what the Routes tab in the screenshot is for. It is going to show users the different places other people have visited leaving from where they currently are, as well as the most used travel methods as you stated, price and distance. It'll also allow you to link multiple locations together into a travel Route to get a breakdown of your overall trip.

I'll be sure to post a link to more shots showcasing the Routes feature. Keep in mind Booking.com is mainly a hotel booking service, so the thinking here is that the average person may already know where they want to go, they just don't know where they're going to stay. I do think there is still an unmet need to provide an easy way to find places to go to for those who don't have any particular travel plans yet and are looking for interesting locations. I think this is a direction booking.com can go to expand their service offerings.
