MIAMI, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- InList, the revolutionary nightlife and events booking app
with access to the top nightclubs, parties, concerts and special
events in 45 cities internationally, has officially announced the
launch of InList 2.0. After gaining over 100,000 qualified members
since launching the original version of the app less than one year
ago, creators Michael Capponi and Gideon Kimbrell are ready to
reveal an updated version with a brand new web platform.
"As InList's audience continues to expand, we want to ensure
that we continue to offer our members the most user-friendly
platform possible, while bringing the top events and experiences in
every city. InList 2.0 is an enhanced version of the app, and the
next step in our evolution." –said Michael
Capponi, Co-Founder, InList.
The upgrade, currently available for iOS users, brings new
features including live in-app chat with InList's personal
concierges; easily navigable calendar offering the ability to
select events on future dates with ease; the ability to select
arrival time per booking; in-app notification system prompting
users about upcoming bookings, pending quotes and messages; and
Apple Watch compatibility for push notifications. Last but not
least, members can now utilize "I'm On My Way" and "I'm In"
buttons, which notify both the venue and personal concierge of the
customer's arrival to ensure seamless assistance until the member
is "in." An upgrade to InList's Android platform is coming
soon.
InList 2.0 also brings other notable announcements for the app
including a significant expansion into Southeast Asia; now, top-rated nightclubs and
venues in Hong Kong, Macau, Bali,
Singapore, Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta have become a part of the InList
family offering users traveling to the Far East access to premium
parties and events in this dynamic part of the world. The expansion
into Asia also served as a part of
a larger expansion, which has doubled InList's global availability
from 25 cities to 45 cities. InListers can now land in any of 45
cities, find out what's happening that evening—whether it's Fashion
Week in Paris or a movie premiere
at the Sundance Film Festival—and book it on their mobile phone in
a matter of minutes. No phone calls, lines or hassles.
Additionally, the new version of the app, which previously only
offered VIP table bookings, will now offer nightclub reservations
in a range of pricing, meeting the needs of every InList
member.
"Borrowing from principles of lean engineering, we stripped
away all the fat on the old version of the app using what we have
learned about how the end user expects the booking process to
occur. Booking nightlife and special events is anything but a
linear process. After months of feedback, this new version enables
users to secure reservations in a way the client feels most
comfortable, with a tech-enabled human element involved with each
booking and the assurance of being able to reach a nightlife expert
any time with just one tap." –said Gideon
Kimbrell, Co-Founder, InList.
In the first few months following its launch in Miami, InList boasted over US$1 million dollars in in-app sales, becoming
one of the fastest-growing nightlife mobile apps and is quickly
approaching the US$2 million mark.
The fast-paced growth has only served to motivate additional
enhancements and offerings, with plans to expand further across the
globe, including upcoming national launches in Chicago and Washington D.C. later this summer.
