Washington, DC, December 25, 2013 - On Friday, December 20, NewsWatch featured the goCostaRica iPad® application on its popular segment, AppWatch, which takes a look at the latest and coolest mobile applications and services on the iOS and Android market. The Costa Rica Tourism Board application was reviewed and viewers were shown how the application allows users to experience the beauty of Costa Rica on their iPad.
"A few years ago I visited Costa Rica for a month. It was one of the best trips I've been on," said Andrew Tropeano, host, AppWatch. "So when I heard about goCostaRica, an app that helps you experience the beauty of the country on your iPad, I had to check it out."
Created by advertising agency 22squared and developed by MaxMedia, goCostaRica is a free iPad application that allows travelers to explore points of interest in Costa Rica through a selection of videos, photos and interactive maps. Users can also build their own Precation video – a customizable pre-vacation film – share it with friends via Facebook and email, and discover the culture, nature, adventure and relaxation that await them in Costa Rica. Users can arrange the content in any manner they please, creating Precations that let them experience Costa Rica before they visit. Choosing from 41 different videos and 8 automatically assigned music tracks, users have the ability to create hundreds of different Precations.
"There are so many rich experiences in Costa Rica – from the rainforest and Arenal Volcano to the butterfly garden and Manuel Antonio National Park – so we're lowering the barrier of entry for people who are curious about the country by giving them a preview of what's possible," added John Stapleton, EVP, Chief Creative Director, 22squared. "goCostaRica incorporates the authenticity of the country, and we hope it will encourage viewers to dream about and discover the vast beauty and diversity of Costa Rica."
