Tripr, the brainchild of three Oxford grads, recently launched version 2.0 of their app. The company has received praise for its seamless integration of travel and dating into a clean, easy-to-navigate app and seeks to connect even more people together with the launch of their Android version.

 

Users simply choose to connect with travelers, backpackers, young professionals and locals by “liking” and “disliking” profiles, similar to many other dating apps, but this one has you input your destination and calendar dates to find matches while you’re in town.

 

Nick Green, CEO of Tripr, said, “The reception to our iOS version has been incredible. We hope the Android version will allow others to enjoy the benefits of connecting with like-minded travelers, festival-goers or simply locals from the area. Our mission as a company is to change the landscape of travel for the better — to bring people from across the globe together to share in the joys of discovery.”

 

After an initial three months of success on iOS, Tripr expanded their team, scaled their technology to accommodate more people and overhauled the design of the app for version 2.0, which is now available for Android. Learn more at triprapp.com.
