Google shuts down its Trips app

Google shut down its Trips app, Google Trips yesterday August 5.

It is moving Google Trips app features in Google Search and Google Maps. It introduced the app in September 2016.

Google Trips is a personalized tour guide in your pocket. Each trip contains key categories of information, including day plans, reservations, things to do, food & drink, and more, so you have everything you need at your fingertips. One of the key benefits is the fact that you could download your information to the app so that it would be accessible offline. This is very handy when you are overseas
