TRIPADVISOR HAS launched a new Windows 10 app across desktop, tablet and mobile. The TripAdvisor app for Windows 10 will be available in 47 markets and will be pre-loaded on millions of Windows 10 compatible devices in 2016.

The app also showcases more than 290 million user reviews and opinions of hotels, restaurants and attractions, and over 46 million candid traveler photos, covering destinations around the globe. Additional features include Near Me Now, a tool that navigates travelers to nearby points of interest using their phone’s GPS.

Rory Kenny, Director of Mobile Partnerships, TripAdvisor, (see photo) said, ’The new TripAdvisor Windows 10 app offers users a comprehensive resource to help them plan and book their trips. Mobile continues to be a huge driver of traffic to TripAdvisor, in fact half of our traffic now comes via mobile. We are excited that Windows Phone users will now be able to plan, compare and book hotels, restaurants and attractions within the TripAdvisor app.’

’Microsoft is excited with TripAdvisor’s continued commitment to Windows 10 with the release of their new app built on the Universal Windows Platform,’ said Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President of Developer Platform & Evangelism and Chief Evangelist for Microsoft Corp. ’With Windows 10 running on over 200 million devices worldwide, we’re excited to provide our fans great experiences such as TripAdvisor’s comprehensive booking tools, user reviews and travel photos from around the globe, on any Windows 10 device.’
