My Vacation app for iPhone – a complete travelogue in the palm of your hand
A newly updated application is set to make life easier for those jetting off to sunnier climes. My Vacation, created by Jasper Apps for iPhone and iPod Touch, lets travellers plan and document their travels with one easy-to-use app – and create an instant photo album, too. Already featured in Apple’s “What’s Hot” list, the app has also been voted a Staff Favourite for its convenience and ease of use.
Besides handy packing and ‘To do’ lists, and an invaluable ‘Notes’ facility that stores the user’s links to handy websites, the app allows travellers to create an instant travelogue containing photos, videos, maps, journals and audio recordings. An auto-locate feature in the app ‘remembers’ where photos were taken, and users can choose to create virtual postcards to send to friends, or upload the travelogue to Facebook, Flicker or Twitter.
Tony Short, Director of Jasper Apps explains, “My Vacation takes the hard work out of your trips because you can store everything you need in one place, from pre-departure information such as your flight details and packing list to local maps, information on must-see sights and the local weather.
By letting you organise your photos and videos as you go along, it also creates a complete record of your trip – and lets you share it with your friends and family at the click of a button.”
A free version of the app, My Vacation Lite, has just been released… but travellers can still snap up the complete version of My Vacation for a price of US$3 by visiting http://www.myvacationapp.com

My Vacation travel app for iPhone – plan, journal and share from the palm of your hand.
Cambridge, UK, March 5th, 2010 - Jasper Apps today announced the release of My Vacation for iPhone and iPod Touch on the Apple App Store. My Vacation is an app for travellers which is packed with features, all within the app rather than simply being an interface to a website, with yet another login. Regardless of network coverage the interface makes it simple to capture the memories of a trip, rather than let them be forgotten.
Tony Short, Director of Jasper Apps explained, “The idea behind My Vacation grew during a trip to Jasper, Canada. It was a trip of a lifetime, worth treasuring. We all have fond memories of past vacations, but those memories fade away over time. Once back from vacation, despite best intentions, there is rarely the time or inclination to spend time on a computer to record what happened and to label the photos taken. My Vacation harnesses the iPhone interface, camera, and GPS to encourage users to update a journal during the vacation.
Features
- Plan activities and what to pack before the vacation.
- Take photos and video during the vacation, together with captions and location data.
- Write or record audio journals for each day.
- Interactive playback of the vacation including maps, photos and journals.
- Upload photos and journals to Facebook, Twitter and email.
The release date is perfectly timed for those going on vacation during Easter, or starting to plan for the Summer.
Device Requirements: iPhone and iPod touch running iPhone OS 3.0 or later
Pricing and Availability: My Vacation is available at an introductory price of $3 (USD) and available exclusively through the Apple App Store in the Travel category.
