This mobile App for zoo visitors takes advantage of the AVAI Mobile App Platform in order to ensure that it is always updated with the latest news, schedule, animal information, and more! Here are some of the Zoo ideas that AVAI was able to implement in the iPhone App:
- A GPS enabled map displaying guest’s locations and a “Friend Finder” feature allowing users to connect with their friends while at the Zoo.
- A “Near Me” button lists all the Zoo’s animal exhibits as well as the location of concession stands, food courts and restrooms in proximity to the guest’s location.
- The “Today” button features a continually updated list of Meet the Keeper Talks, presentations and activities, allowing guests to create a personalized schedule and identify each item on the list on an interactive map.
- The application’s homepage includes a live Twitter stream (twitter.com/houstonzoo).
- The “Animals” button provides guests with photos, videos, names and facts about Houston Zoo animals.
- The application’s “More” page will keep guests informed with frequently updated Houston Zoo news including parking information, new animals and birth announcements, upcoming special events, guest surveys and the latest video/photo galleries.
