Announcing Dopplr for iPhone: The Social Atlas goes mobile
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Dopplr – The Social Atlas, a free iPhone application available worldwide in the iPhone App Store.
The app puts the combined knowledge of the world’s smart travellers in your pocket. Wherever you are in the world, you can use it to find nearby recommended places to eat, stay and explore. If you make new discoveries of your own, you can add them to the Social Atlas with a few taps of your finger. And every new addition helps to expand the Social Atlas, which is starting small but growing rapidly with the input from Dopplr travellers using their mobile devices.
You don’t even need an account at Dopplr.com to use the app. The built-in directory of city tips and advice works for everyone.
But if you do have a Dopplr account, the application offers a rich social location-based experience. You can keep in touch with your fellow travellers, find out what city and timezone they are in, and what future trips they have planned. You can view your own planned trips, and find co-incidences when fellow travellers will be nearby. You can even contact them directly from inside the app.
Many of you have requested that we make the Social Atlas mobile. This iPhone application is the first step. Dopplr will make the Social Atlas available on all major mobile location-based devices in 2009 including Nokia, Blackberry and Google Android.

It works really nicely – love the “i’ve been there – and i liked it”! Now need to add some more places local to me.
Finally, worth waiting for. Great work. I love it.
Excellent! Looking forward to the Android app.
Nice application but it seems to be missing a key feature: the ability to add a new place local to me (without actually being there). This would be really useful.
Good job guys. Are you planning to allow DOPPLR users to load their itineraries from the device, adding an Add Trip on the application?
Hey, really great job! Add trip would be great feature though?
Perhaps my question ties into Stephane’s question above, but I’m a little confused. When I click to sign in it takes me to Safari where I sign in to the regular website (or mobile site). Does the app itself not tie into my personal profile?
would love to add trips within the app …

Yeah adding a trip directly from the device would be useful, as would being able to see your friends current locations on a map.
I agree with the above posts. Would be very useful to be able to add trips on the device.
Great otherwise though.
Great news! Tried it, like it, but also pleeeaaasse give the add trip functionality – then it’d be 5/5. Good start though!

That map looks beautiful! Which company does the map come from? Seems not to be Google…..
Any ETA on the Android app? Getting ready to switch off the iPhone soon, and was wondering when I’d be able to use a Dopplr app again.
Any news on an android app? does the Nokia acquisition mean its never going to happen?
We are now almost three months in to 2010 and this appears to be the last update on a social atlas application for the Blackberry platform.
Any updates as to when something may be available?
Ditto. I’d really like an Android Dopplr app.
