Thompson has a new, free tourism app.

 

Resident Edward Palmer developed the app all on his own, after his experience of moving to Thompson, 2 years ago:

 

"I noticed that the points of entry in Thompson, there was very little pointing people in the direction of finding some information about the City, maybe guiding them to where exactly they were going. In my mind what was a needed was just a simple way of showing people how to get around our really awesome City, and the simplest way I could think of was to carry a tour guide, if you will, in your pocket with you".

 

 

Some features of the app include attractions, lodging, and directions that will take you to the front door of your destination.

 

Palmer has actually never had any formal education in app development. He told us he used self taught skills to develop the app all on his own.

 

The app is only available on Google Play at the moment, but Palmer hopes to have it in the Apple Store within the next month.
