Airbnb Launches An App For The Apple Watch

Airbnb may have been late to the iPad, but it’s already on the Apple Watch. the same workforce that launched Airbnb’s first iPad app in April launched its first watch app on Thursday. the new app does not replicate an Airbnb Passbook integration, which units reminders for Airbnb stays. instead, it essentially facilitates messaging between hosts and company (hosts may also confirm visitor reservations in the course of the interface).

Keenan Cummings, the design manager at Airbnb who led the project, told quick company that messaging made the most feel as a focal point for the app as a result of “responsiveness is extremely necessary to the community and our hosts” (and likewise, if we’re being honest, a watch does now not in point of fact have the most effective reveal for searching possible vacation rentals).
