Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Just to let you know that if you are coming or planning on coming to ski or ride Bulgaria this season, you may find this new mobile app handy!

This is very much a work in progress but feedback has been positive so far. However, there will be a major update once iTunes has it on offer for download.

The application is free of charge to download and use and it uses your phones GPS location to find services, businesses and even emergency help close to you. It is also a Social Network in its own right – using Face Book and Twitter credentials for users to “Check In” to bars, restaurants, hotels and other services and post comments about their experiences. Shortly (i.e. after iOS launch in the next few days), there will be discounts and special offers from business owners for checking in at their locations so the app will soon help you save money too!

To download the app from Android click here

Current Features:
• GPS location based – Shows the closest (and best) businesses and services close to you.
• Full driving and walking directions to each listing from your current location using Google Maps
• In-App “Click to call” function. No more copying and pasting phone numbers when you want to reserve a hotel or restaurant table!
• Features all 17 ski stations and resorts across Bulgaria – Not just the big “expensive” ones! With detailed information on:

o Bars, restaurants and night clubs
o Hotels and self-catering accommodation
o Taxi and transfer services
o Local services that you may be interested including estate agents and property management companies
• Social network (using Face Book and Twitter) to check-in, leave comments and take advantage of offers close to you and find other users close to you
• EMERGENCY! Feature lets you find and call emergency services close to you if the worst happens on the mountain.
• High resolution lift maps
• Links to weather and snow reports
• SkiGuideBG news
• Events diary
• Push messages – We will soon have the ability to send you push messages about offers from businesses close to you. You can turn these notifications off if you wish

We will be updating this app all year long and if you have any questions, comments or even want to get your business or holiday home listed (Holiday home listings are free until 20th January)

Thanks guys and enjoy the awesome snow we have at the moment!!!!

Hi Robert

No, I think they do the "other one"!

We have tried to make it a little more useful by effectively listing (basic location data so the GPS works) everywhere we could for free so it is a proper representation of whats on offer in the resorts and ski stations.

We have a great deal more to add but it's a start!

As the most active forum for Ski in BG, we would really appreciate comments and suggestions from users as to how we develop it in lines with user wishes.

Thanks in advance!
