Dopplr is an online tool for frequent travelers. The idea is simple. You enter your travel details, city, dates, description and you can share that data with your fellow travelers and friends. I am a big fan. Even though not a big traveller, keeping track of my friends’ trips in my iCal has become an indispensable tool.
Today, Dopplr is also available for iPhone and iPod Touch. If you are not sure what Dopplr is, check out our review back in October last year.
iPhone app brings all the tools we are so used to on the website. Your friends are listed, their current location, their planned trips and in the recent months Dopplr has grown to become a great resource for finding locations in cities you visit. This forms quite a big part of the iPhone app. Using location services on the iPhone, Dopplr can show you nearest hotels, restaurants, places to see and more. Maps are included and all the places of interest are mapped based on your location. In addition, you send send messages to your fellow travelers and call/sms them using their contact details listed. Too many features to list.
