Join me for a game-for-anything romp through the River City with stops in my favorite locals’ hot spots and tried-and-true hangouts. You’ll love the in-the-know tips on the best BBQ, the coolest hang on a Saturday afternoon, and the best vantage point for summertime fireworks.
I created this Jacksonville app from the ground up by collecting a broad cross-section of locals’ favorites and compiling them in a fun and spirited guide to the best that Jacksonville has to offer. Jacksonville Essential Guide isn’t just a print guide slapped into an app skin; instead, it’s full of fun and concise original content written with the on-the-go user in mind. Whether you’re standing on the corner of Laura & Forsyth surfing for a great lunch spot, or lying on your couch planning a day in Avondale, this simple but powerful app will lead you by the hand and provide exactly the right information in no time.
In Jacksonville Essential Guide, I condense the city’s overwhelming opportunities into 175 top sites, hidden gems and must-do activities and give users access to over 850 color photos. This visually rich app is full of insider tips for locals and first-time visitors. (Activities, restaurants and lodging in St. Augustine, Fernandina, and Amelia Island are also covered.)
Engaging and easy-to-navigate features include:
• Photo slide shows for each entry, so that you know what you’re getting before you go.
• Concise, original text by a Jacksonville native.
• Entries filtered by useful criteria like Fabulous Food, Art Appreciation, Get Out and Get Moving, Nightlife, Where to Sleep, and more.
• Entries sorted by name, distance, price and neighborhood.
• One-click website and phone interface to buy tickets, peruse current menus, and more.
• Google maps and walking and driving directions for each entry.
• Over 100MB of offline content that you an access anytime without an Internet connection.
• Direct links to Wikipedia, Yelp reviews or establishment’s web sites (whichever is most useful to the user).
• Neighborhood overviews help you decide how and where to spend your time.
• The ability to share user comments and mark and save favorites.
• Fast browsing.
