Universal Anywayanyday on Android: single app, better design, new features

Anywayanyday is a service you don't need to talk about. For several years now, they have provided users with the opportunity to buy cheap flights and book hotels around the world, and they do it so well that Samsung and Fly pre-install Anywayanyday on their flagship devices.

More recently, a universal version of the Anywayanyday application for smartphones and tablets was released on Google Play, thanks to which Android users received identical functionality when working with the service regardless of the device used, as well as a completely updated design.

Previously, the smartphone version of Anywayanyday had a wider range of features and capabilities, while the tablet app seemed clipped, especially since there was no way to book hotels. With the release of the unified application, this problem disappeared.

Today Lifehacker has prepared for you an overview of the single Android application Anywayanyday. We will tell you about the key features of this service, thanks to which it gained such wide popularity among users.

Search

The first and perhaps the most important advantage of Anywayanyday is the ease of searching, buying and booking. The entire procedure from the first to the last step is intuitive and logical. You saw the application for the first time and have never pressed this menu button yet, but you can already guess what it does.

Due to the voice input of data, you do not need to access the classic search interface at all. It is enough to read the destination and the optimal days for departure to the application, and the specified parameters will immediately be placed in the search field.

If the user is in the city of departure, then it is not required to indicate the starting point of the route. The application automatically detects it and enters it into the search.

Due to the larger size of the tablet, the interface elements available on the smartphone via swipe fit here on one screen. Otherwise, in terms of functionality and logic of work, the tablet version is completely identical to the smartphone.

A well-thought-out application is thought out throughout. Even the time required for the service to search for tickets does not pass for the user in tedious waiting. When processing data, an airplane starts flying around the screen, with which you can play, forcing it to follow your finger across the screen.

Someone will call this pointless pampering, but, in our opinion, such little things in the aggregate create the maximum possible pleasure when working with the service and application.

The user feels like a VIP, who is pleased and licked from all sides, not letting get bored. If you have a question about the work of the service, you do not look for answers in manuals and on forums, but simply contact the support service directly from the application.

Filtration

Without a competent system for filtering search results, the service would be terrible. Coverage of 800 airlines translates into a huge number of offers, and this is where sorting by key parameters comes into play. If the question is only about the price, then one filter is enough.

If the departure time is also important, then we apply an additional filter, after which we choose from a smaller number of options.

To speed up the comparison, detailed information about each flight is available directly from the search result menu.

A similar flexible filtering, adjusted for the specifics, is provided in the hotel booking menu.

By specifying the city and the date of entry / exit, the user quickly filters out low-rated and too expensive options, thus receiving a selection of hotels that are optimal in terms of price-quality ratio, indicating the final price for the entire stay.

Detailed filtering by the availability of certain services will allow you to choose the hotel of your dreams.

And a convenient switch to the map mode will help you quickly navigate the location of the hotels.

Reservation

Booking tickets without any financial responsibility is another unique Anywayanyday feature, available to everyone who has bought a ticket through the service at least once.

The user is not only not asked to pay part of the amount when making a reservation, but also do not impose any penalties when canceling tickets already booked.

Payment, discounts, commissions

In addition to the usual bank cards, Anywayanyday allows you to pay for tickets in cash in mobile shops. Available types of ticket payment are displayed directly in the application interface, and the choice of currency is carried out immediately before clicking the "Pay" button or on the search results screen.

It is important to note that Anywayanyday does not charge any currency conversion commissions when paying for tickets or booking a hotel.

For those who use all kinds of discount coupons and promotional codes, there is good news: when placing an order, you can apply several discounts at once.

Automation

Having to enter complete passenger details every time is really annoying, especially on frequent flights. Anywayanyday provides a template system into which all the key data about each traveler, as well as the payment details of the bank cards used are loaded.

Templates are created in the user's personal account. Please note that travel management here is implemented in the usual notebook format. It is enough to tap on the right person from the list during checkout, and his data will be automatically transferred to the appropriate fields when ordering.

Total

As you can see, the secret of success in this case is extremely simple: high-quality task execution and maximum coverage, combined with a convenient and functional shell, will inevitably make the product in demand. Anywayanyday does what the user needs: automating most of the routine and minimizing time and thought costs for a person while maintaining the guarantee of finding the cheapest ticket. With the release of a single app, the service has become even closer to tablet lovers, and the growing level of usability makes you believe that you are still using one of the best products on the market.
