"TripTracker was designed specifically to be your mobile travel agent, saving traveler's time on organizing the annoying details. What makes TripTracker unique is that it's the only app on the Appstore that automatically pushes real-time travel details to your iPhone, removing the inconvenience of adding it manually or sending e-mail commands to a third party provider."
