YouLi just keeps getting better and better :). It's true. Not only do you AND your travelers have a one-stop shop where you can manage payments, tasks, and an interactive itinerary on your computer but ALSO your travelers can access everything on their mobile device via the YouLi Trip App.
Deliver your travel documents (Trip Pages) for offline viewing using the "YouLi Trip" app. Say hello to being able to have your travelers access their trip itinerary, contacts, tasks and more on the YouLi App.
NOTE: For a limited time, this valuable feature is available for Future Ready packages and above.
What does the YouLi Mobile App look like?
The Mobile App includes:
- Itinerary
- Payments
- Tasks
- Resources
- Contact
This means that your travelers can finish tasks, make payments, and access their resources all from the mobile app when they are online. When offline (aka traveling) they still have access to contact info & itinerary information.
What's Available ONLINE vs. OFFLINE?
Switching to offline mode will happen automatically when the traveler opens the app while in Airplane mode or if they refresh while offline.
ONLINE features include everything that you can do on the Trip Page from the browser:
- Register
- Make payments
- Opt into optional itinerary items
- Complete tasks
- Clicking on location links to open in map application for directions
- Clicking on external links to websites
OFFLINE mode does not allow you to do the above listed online actions but DOES allow:
- Viewing of itinerary & highlights
- Viewing of tasks
- Viewing of travel documents that are PDF and images (not links to videos or websites)
- Viewing of other people on the trip (if enabled on the trip)
iPhone + Android
The mobile app works on Android and iPhone, but different installation processes apply and some features may not be available on all devices.
Getting the App & Your Trip Installed
We know that travel should be all about getting immersed and shutting off your phone, but we often can't completely disconnect.
Especially if you need to check what time breakfast is, it's nice to be able to quickly reference your itinerary whether you're online or offline.
That's why the YouLi Trip mobile app allows travelers to save their Trip Page offline for viewing. This does take a few steps before you go offline.
1. Before the trip, make sure you're travelers download the app. You can assign a task of type 'DONE' or send a message.
- Getting the instructions for this step requires coordination with YouLi support team - so open a chat in YouLi to get started.
- They download the app in the app store on their phone
2. Once installed, they can click on their magic link from any of the trip confirmation emails.
The link will take them to their trip page in their browser where they will then be prompted to open the trip in the app.
3. Once your traveler has loaded the trip one time in the app, you won't need them to click again, they can simply click on the app to view their trip at any time
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
PDFs cannot be viewed on Android - online or offline
WORKAROUND:
1. Images can be viewed, so convert critical documents to images if essential for viewing in app.
2. Send the travelers to online Trip Page in the browser instead
