The key to good travel is knowing what to do once you're there. Jauntful is the travel app that unlocks the best kept secrets and hidden gems by offering you guides created and curated by your friends.

The pocket-sized guides can be shared with anyone through the app. The recipient can then print it out to carry around with them, or simply view it online using their device. The advantage of Jauntful over other city guides is that the service is entirely customisable, making personalised maps easy to share with others. Meaning that the spots that are pointed out to you are chosen by the people that know you best. Like coffee? Your friends will be able to pick out the best cafés in the area. Notorious thrill seeker? Have people you trust show you where the best cliff diving goes down.

Still in its development phase, the app's creators say they are planning to create a mechanism that notifies you when someone takes you up on your suggestion, and discovers that hidden gem you recommended for them.

User generated travel content is big business these days. Look at the Jetpac City Guides from last week, that saw suggestions for places to go sourced from Instagram feeds. This suggests that perhaps travellers are wanting guidance on their travels to come from reliable sources, people like them, or in Jauntful's case, people that personally know them.
