应用名称:TripAdvisor

It’s all well and good to find nearby places of interest, but that’s quite useless if the place you visit is beyond your budget, closed down or has some other unadvertised shortcomings.

能够搜寻附近景点信息的软件当然是不错的选择,但如果景点花费超出预算,关门大吉或是私下具有哪些不足之处,那么这种软件也就变得毫无用处了。

This is where TripAdvisor comes in. The TripAdvisor app was downloaded on average 25 times a minute in 2012. The app features hundreds of millions of trusted, unbiased reviews from real travelers detailing their experiences of particular places.

这时候你应该考虑用TripAdvisor。2012年,该软件平均每分钟被下载25次。该应用的特点来自无数驴友真实可信的评论,其中详细记录着他们各自的旅行经历。

With map-based browsing, a ‘near me now’ function, saved searches and plenty of photos, after traveling with the app you’ll wonder how you ever traveled without it.

该应用配置了地图浏览和“当前离我最近”功能,还有搜寻记录以及大量美图,带上该软件去旅行,你会有种相见恨晚的感觉。

Manage memories

整理旅行记忆
