Today we launched GateGuru 2.0 to great coverage from Techcrunch. We have been working hard on this major upgrade and are very happy to have it out there to our users.

One important note for our users, based on an issue we have heard about from several users. When upgrading, please make sure under Settings -> General -> Location Services that GateGuru is turned to “On”. If it is “Off”, please set it to “On” and reset your phone (you can still deny location services to GateGuru if you prefer).

Thanks for the continued support and please continue to reach out with any questions or comments at support[at]gateguruapp[dot]com.

If you haven’t yet downloaded the update to GateGuru, you are going to want to get it ASAP! GateGuru 1.5 has several new and exciting unique features that will be invaluable to any traveler in the 100 airports that we cover.

1) Maps – our #1 requested feature is here! Let the GateGuru maps show you where your gate is, where security is, or where baggage claim is located. Never again guess your way around the airport.

I know what you are thinking “Oh, maps, that is a neat feature, but seriously what else is there?” Well, we have 2 other amazing features that will completely change your airport experience!

2) High Flyers Contest sponsored by JetBlue – since we launched, the community aspects of GateGuru have been the features that our user base cares about the most. This includes the leaderboard, and we are thrilled to announce an exciting contest for GateGuru users to win free JetBlue tickets and vouchers! The winners of the High Flyers leaderboard in the month of June will get 2 free tickets on JetBlue (National Winner) or free $100 travel certificates (Regional Winners). Stuck on a summer delay? Write a few reviews, snap some photos, all in the name of getting to that #1 spot on the GateGuru leaderboard. Seriously, it’s that easy.
3) Get Discounts and Deals on Airport Retailers – You know those stores that you pass in the airport but don’t go in that much because there is no incentive? Well now there is! We are partnering with top airport retail brands to give exclusive deals and offers to GateGuru users. Get free stuff, get huge discounts, all just for shopping!

Go download GateGuru 1.5 and start enjoying the airport!

We are excited to announce the international expansion of GateGuru! The next time you open the app, you will see that new airports have been added to our database. As soon as we launched GateGuru covering the top 85 airports in the United States, there was strong demand for us to expand internationally. This expansion includes 14 new airports from Canada, London and the US (our first user contributed airport!) and brings our total airport count up to almost 100! See our press release covering the international expansion of GateGuru here.

In this initial international expansion, we have added the following airports:
1. London Heathrow Airport
2. Toronto Pearson International Airport
3. Vancouver International Airport
4. Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport
5. Calgary International Airport
6. Edmonton International Airport
7. Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
8. Halifax Stanfield International Airport
9. Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport
10. Victoria International Airport
11. Kelowna International Airport
12. Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport
13. Regina International Airport
14. Sarasota International Airport

Many users have reached out about us adding additional airports in the US. We are happy to report that Sarasota Airport has been added to the GateuGuru database through the contribution of Bill King. Other users are in the process of aggregating data for their “home” airports. If you are interested in adding your home airport or any other one not currently covered by our database, please email support@gateguruapp.com.

As always, thanks for the continued support. We wouldn’t be where we are today without our passionate user base who is always pushing us to make the product better. We have several more exciting announcements over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Safe travels.
