New App Helps Travelers Maximize Their Experience in Barbados without Racking up Expensive Roaming Charges
Uncommon Caribbean, a daily travel blog presenting a fresh and uniquely West Indian perspective on the islands, has launched a new Uncommon Barbados app for iPhone designed to help travelers maximize their Barbados travel experiences. Unlike other travel apps, an Internet connection is not required to access Uncommon Barbados content, enabling travelers to use it while traveling in Barbados without racking up expensive international roaming charges.
Uncommon Caribbean co-founder and creative director Patrick Bennett commented on Uncommon Barbados, saying: "As frequent travelers throughout the Caribbean who publish a daily blog, we certainly know how quickly roaming data charges can add up. That's why our app had to be different: to be universally useful and accessible regardless of an Internet connection. At the same time, we sought to make Uncommon Barbados as visually beautiful and easy to navigate as the special island it represents. In this way, we hope to inspire deeper, more rewarding connections with the authentic Barbados experience."
Uncommon Barbados content encompasses a tightly curated collection of activities, hotel options, suggested restaurants, drinks, and more, all experienced first-hand over the past two years by Patrick and Steve Bennett, the sibling duo from St. Croix who co-founded Uncommon Caribbean in March 2010.
Patrick continued: "The content reflects our own personal experiences, likes and dislikes, over our combined six visits to Barbados during the past two years. So, in a way, Uncommon Barbados is like having great advice from a well-traveled friend along with you every step of your way in Barbados."
Steve and Patrick's breezy signature writing style and stunning original photography and video combine with an intuitive navigational platform that makes for an ideal mobile user experience.
Uncommon Barbados is available through the App Store on iTunes for just $2.99. For purchases and more information, visit http://www.uncommoncaribbean.com/uncommonbarbados/.
