Field Trip Android App Review
Field Trip for Android acts like an assistant that constantly updates you with tidbits of information about your surroundings as you travel. Field Trip app is a tour guide to all the unique and hidden wonders of the world around you.
The Guide on the Go
Field Trip for Android is a stylish tour guide that periodically pings alerts based on your current location. These alerts are called as cards. The information for these cards are gathered from online sources like the Historical Marker Database, Songkick, Google Offers and so on. You can choose how often and what kind of data Field Trip needs to ping. When you open the App for the first time, tap the Select Your Interest page and determine your interest from the categories listed. The available categories are Architecture, historic places, lifestyle, offers and deals, food and drinks, cool and unique and art and museum. Once you select your interest, you will have to choose the online services Google should use to generate recommendations.
You can also set how often you want to send these recommendations. Explore is the highest level and Feeling Lucky is the less invasive. Once you set these up, you will find that a lot more than what you thought you knew around you. The cards will have short descriptions and additional links with in depth information to these recommendations. You can keep Field Trip running in the background in your phone as you travel. The cards will pop up when you are near a featured spot. You can customize Field Trip app to read these cards aloud. If you are with headphones or a blue tooth speaker connection, when you have a card pop out, the app will read the information to you. It is like having a digital tour guide sitting next to you. If you like a recommendation, you can mark it favorite and also share it on social network.
