Galle Literary Festival partners with iPhone App

The Galle Literary festival launched its own free iPhone App on the Apple App Store today to provide a more interactive experience for festival visitors.

The App provides festival-goers access to the latest festival schedule, participant list and utilizes the device's GPS capability to provide an interactive map of the Galle Fort to help attendees find events, restaurants, shops and hotels.

The App was developed by Appwolf (Pvt) Limited, Sri Lanka's leading mobile App development company.

Appwolf CEO Gehan Dias said "We are proud to be a part of the Galle Literary Festival and am certain that the App will add a new dimension of mobility, interactivity and personalization to the festival experience.

Appwolf has been in the business of App building for a while now, with clientele as diverse as Sesame Street and Odel, however this particular App presented us with its unique set of challenges as it needed to allow the festival coordinators to update attendees with up-to-the-minute information including schedule changes, cancellations, location changes and so on". He said that "A mobile App is the perfect tool for any festival as it provides a direct link allowing festival coordinators to both instantly update participants as well as capture key data from them such as feedback, confirmations, analytics and even personal experience such as photographs and video".
