Halaltrip updates mobile app

HalalTrip has upgraded its mobile app to offer Muslim travellers with enhanced online privacy, an improved interface and more content.
The app’s existing halal food spotter, which lets users share images of halal food dishes, now allows images to be uploaded directly from the user's image gallery. A new “MyDishes” tab displays all dishes that were shared by the same user. City and country names are now enabled for the images. The new settings let users specify a radius for nearby dishes and also lets them share a dish, write a review or edit a review.

User profiles have also been upgraded to allow better management. The new version of the app lets users specify a unique username during account creation and also lets users customise their profile by adding a profile picture and a background image of their choice. 


In addition, the app’s privacy settings now allow users to remain anonymous when sharing dishes as they wish.

Existing features of the app include an in-flight prayer time calculator, a collection of travel prayers as well as an option to choose between an English or Arabic user interface. Further upgrades will include a direct booking service to let users make hotel reservations via the HalalTrip app.
