Hello,
A while back I posted my very positive experience contacting Booking.com who offer over 300,000 hotels via their website and app. I wrote to them and mentioned that the app worked well, but that the search results list was almost unuseable with Voiceover since it was extremely sluggish, you couldn't flick through the list of results and touching the screen in different places did work, but it was sluggish and often unreliable and repeated a lot of information. I initially contacted them about a month ago, in Mid May. I received a prompt reply that my feedback would be passed on to their development team. About a week later the same person reported that the development team would look into this and again a week or 10 days later (about 2 weeks ago) the same person again send me a message without me asking saying that improvements had been made and would be available in the upcoming update. The update took a while, but this morning it was in the app store and I downloaded it right away and did a search for hotels in Vancouver. I am very happy to say that now the list of search results works perfectly, it is fast and you can right flick through the list, Voiceover reads the hotel name and the starting price of the room rates it found for the date you entered. You can then double tap on a hotel, often there is more information given and even in the prior version, once you got to that point actually making a reservation was no problem. Booking.com does also work with Passbook and I find this very handy since after I make a booking I can add it to Passbook and when I get to the hotel I can, if necessary, just pull up the booking confirmation. This is another example of a large company being very responsive and I hope everybody who travels on a regular bases for pleasure or business and who needs to make hotel reservations will give the Booking.com app a try and hopefully take a few minutes to give them a good rating with a comment that they are a happy Voiceover user of the app. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
