Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA) have launched a new, improved version of its Visit Abu Dhabi mobile application.
Version 4.0 of the app allows users to gain instant access to all happenings in the emirate via their mobile phones. The app is now live, featuring several upgrades and enhancements. It allows access to the same content as the authority's destination portal, VisitAbuDhabi[dot]ae. It is available for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and features enhancements to make it a more user-friendly experience.
"We've listened carefully to all your feedback and our app has been completely redesigned from top to bottom following the latest user experience trends to make the whole experience even more immersive and easy to use," said Mouza Al Shamsi, Acting Executive Director of Marketing and Communications at TCA Abu Dhabi. "All of the key features that you're familiar with from our previous versions are still present but now they're even faster, smarter and bursting with functionality."
Al Shamsi revealed that a number of useful and intuitive new additions are also present, including integration with TransAD, which will allow users to book a taxi directly from within the app, and also integration with the Department of Transport to get live geo-located bus data, which will allow the user to discover the best route and schedule to get to any point of interest.
With content and services in nine languages, the app  gives instant and structured information on Abu Dhabi's attractions, experiences, culture, heritage, hotels, restaurants and most frequently-asked questions.
