Splashpath, the new mobile and web app designed to make swimming more fun, has won a high accolade from Apple by being chosen as an ‘Apple Staff Favourite’. Staff at Apple see thousands of new apps each week and to be chosen as a favourite is recommendation of the value and usefulness of this exciting new app.
Being selected as ‘Apple Staff Favourite’ also means greater exposure for the app to additional consumers. Already in 12 hours Splashpath has risen from 50th top free sports app to 18th favourite.
Dan Morgan, Splashpath developer commented, “This is a unique opportunity to drive a huge number of additional consumers to Splashpath and to swimming by getting them connected with their local swimming facilities. We're completely over the moon to be recognised and featured by Apple. It makes all the hard work worthwhile! A big thanks should also be extended to all the Operators who have signed up already and played their part in this recognition”.
David Minton, director of The Leisure Database Company commented, “We are delighted to be partnered with Splashpath. We see apps such as Splashpath as the way forward in generating further demand for sports activities, maximising the excellent sports, health and fitness facility assets available in the UK and to understanding sports participation further”.
Splashpath connects consumers with their local pools in a bid to boost demand. Targeting consumers who want to find where and when they can swim locally, Splashpath is a user friendly mobile phone app which publishes details of pools and their timetables and synchronises neatly with the pools’ own websites.
Splashpath increases demand for swimming by publishing pool timetables online, by encouraging greater swimming frequency with fun challenges and progress tracking and by enabling links to social networking sites.
Splashpath is FREE for operators to use. Publishing pool timetable on Splashpath enables operators to reach a wider audience searching for swimming venues, times and activities. Splashpath also creates a great looking timetable for operators’ websites and a management tool to keep the information up-to-date.
Splashpath drives customers to pools promoting their swimming timetables and links to listing websites, community groups, search engines and social networking sites.
