Las Vegas, NV, September 20, 2015 (Newswire.com) - A year after its launch, the Fripito app returns to the international photography exhibition Photo Plus 2015 in New York, to exclusively present the new Fripito 2 version for iOS. Users can look forward to a new design, a more user-friendly photo-guide shop and overall faster app functioning. The new version makes it possible to use a precise navigation to a place of choice on the map with GPS location. The app will also enable advanced full-text search in the guides. The biggest change is the premium subscription option, where, for a fixed payment, users will have access to all the currently available guides.
Fripito is also proud to announce being chosen for Web Summit Alpha 2015 in Dublin as one of the most promising early-stage startups from around the world.

Fripito 2 has improved guide-search functions, where full-text search also looks for key-words in the contents of the guides, thus helping the users to find the right guide. The 2nd version is also capable of navigating the photographer from the current location to the place of their choice.
The Fripito app, available for free in AppStore or Google Play, helps to discover interesting photographic spots all around the world and offers photo guides to hundreds of amazing locations. The application is designed for photographers by photographers, a space to share up-to-date information, experiences and photo tips. However, the app is designed not only for all photography lovers, but for people who want to improve their photography skills and learn how to take the best pictures.
All guides are based on great photos with useful photo and travel tips, offline maps, GPS coordinates, suitable photo equipment, camera settings and local light conditions. Apart from personal tips from the guide author, it also contains general tourist information on interesting locations, accommodation, transport and food. All the necessary data can be downloaded to the device before a trip, eliminating the need of Internet connection or signal coverage, making it easy to consult the guide in the middle of Africa, Peru’s deserts or Greenland’s glaciers.
