I’m excited to announce that my mobile project in Hong Kong, Ask Ting Ting is now officially an iPhone/iPod app! Mobile Guide Asia Director Matt has been working tirelessly on Ask Ting Ting’s new strategies and I’m glad he’s ventured into the app market. We have put in so much energy, (more so he) and for everyone to be able to have access to this great guide to Hong Kong is even better. So good, it was even mentioned on TIME magazine!
I’ve already tweeted and put it out there on Facebook, but for those who are planning to visit Hong Kong, I would highly recommend purchasing this app. We shot lots of amazing videos and have great recommendations of things to do and see while you’re in the Pearl of the Orient. Looking back, I had a fantastic time being able to check out the beaches and little fishing villages which most people would never think to exist in this high-rise haven.
The team was great and we’ve all had our laughs, stressful moments and even more stressful moments. (I can remember swearing in Wanchai as it was starting to rain and not being able to remember the last set of lines given) This was an exciting adventure and I was learning everyday. I thank the team and of course Matt for such a great opportunity to learn about Hong Kong, a city I lived in more than 20 years ago.
It’s a steal for $5.99 with the amount of content that you get and the restaurant guide is absolutely superb – recommended by a diverse group of people.
