The most intuitive travel apps you’ll ever use…
“Your app was invaluable in allowing me to make the maximum use of my time and see a wide variety of fantastic
sites. I never once had to open the guide book that I also took along. I highly recommend your app to everyone…
Thank you!”
TouchScreenTravels' apps come at travel planning from every direction: they discuss trip
ESSENTIALS; introduce PLACES within a destination; organise your time using ITINERARIES; and gather suggested
sights and activities by INTEREST.
The interface is IMAGE-LED, so the apps are beautifully organised and illustrated, while the TEXT is written by
professional travel writers to be informative, engaging and to-the-point.
… and maybe write
“I found your CMS very intuitive and easy to use - to be honest it’s probably the best one I’ve worked
with.”
Authors: We’d particularly like to hear from you if you have the talent, commitment and the good idea for an app.
Our terms are very fair.

well as developing an intuitive platform for established writers to publish their work.
