This travel companion app usually starts by synching an itinerary you've entered on the World Mate website with your phone. When you start it up you'll see that the interface shows a local weather widget in addition to a shortcut to your most immediate trip. You can book a hotel or add a new flight, a meeting and so on from the mobile interface. You'll also be able to click to call a number and view addresses on a map. Back on the start screen you'll find a ribbon at the bottom with icons that take you into the programs other tools. From there you'll be able to view local and world weather, world clocks and use a currency converter. These services are free but several useful features are locked up until you upgrade to the premium service; that includes the travel directory, flight schedules and having flight status updates pushed to your phone on travel day. This gold version costs about $12 a month or $100 for a year and also confers greater customer support. World Mate Live is a lot cleaner looking than in previous versions but it also seems to be missing a useful clothing conversion chart from a previous build. The free services will help casual travelers keep track of flights, time and the weather. [ Background music ]
