Aruba now has a free app for iPhone and Android in 3 languages.

Oranjestad â€" From now on iPhone and Android users are able to download THE ARUBA APP for free. This destination App provides comprehensive and current information about the upcoming events on Aruba and is interesting for visitors and locals. The ARUBA APP contains extensive travel information, important phone numbers, history, where to eat, where to stay, and information about transportation, activities and main attractions. THE ARUBA APP also contains weekly updated events, promotions and coupons. Handy features such as an exchange rate calculator, tip calculator and wheelchair accessible locations.

An innovative, fun and useful feature is Augmented Reality. When you point your phone in a certain direction, like taking a picture, all the restaurants and sights in that direction will pop up on your screen. Background information is obtained by clicking on the pop ups. This 3D feature also works when the app is offline.

The App is published by CRAPPS (Caribbean Apps.NV). CRAPPS is a DMO specialist and has the region surrounded by various leading Destination Marketing Tools, including the mobile app such as ARUBA APP. “Because the development of the apps take place in different countries, the products of CRAPPS are always up-to-date, innovative, focused on the needs of users and attractive to advertisers.” stated Yvonne van Diepen, senior director of Crapps and responsible for the Aruba App.

Although the development and operation of the apps take place regionally, the apps are completely focused on the local market. There is a category ‘Tips by Locals’ where various Arubans mention their relationship with Aruba and share their special places and experiences.

ARUBA APP pays special attention to local developments and events so that the app will be valuable for both locals and travelers. Updates of the apps are done automatically, without a long wait or annoying push messages.

Because the specialization of CRAPPS is especially focused in further development of destination apps, the App will be constantly renewed. In the near future the webapp will be introduced for Black Berry and Window users. All versions can be used in Dutch, English and Spanish. A future version in German or Portugese is certainly a possibility.

Authorities and companies get a free listing in the ARUBA APP so that users can easily find them. Of course it is possible for companies to draw more attention and give more information with photos and details of their website etc.

THE ARUBA APP now has an irresistible introduction-special for all those companies because they find it important that the ARUBA APP offers a complete service that is supported by local businesses.
