Working in tandem with the user’s iPhone the app brings simplified access for navigation and check-in to the wrist, and ‘handoff’ continuity for instant transition right where they left off on their watch.

Michal Juhas, HotelQuickly’s co-founder and CTO, said that as 40% of its customers use iPhones for their last-minute booking its Apple Watch app would take hotel booking experience to the next level.

“The immediacy of the watch encourages impulse bookings and will keep HotelQuickly top of mind with spontaneous travellers. The ‘handoff’ feature enables a seamless transition between the watch and the iPhone, delivering a superior user experience, something users of HotelQuickly would expect from their Watch app,” he added.

The Apple Watch app’s main features include:

  • Booking reference: Users can manage their current bookings and access details on hotel name, arrival date, number of nights, location on a map and directions from current location, the address available in both English and the local language of the hotel, the telephone number of the hotel.
  • Handoff: Creates smooth integration and continuity with the parent HotelQuickly app on the user’s iPhones, enabling them to continue browsing hotel offers, navigating the map or reviewing their booking details, where they left off on their Apple Watch.
  • Timely alerts: Vibrates the watch as users could miss important notifications on their phones.

The app is now available as a free download from Apple iTunes Store.
