The Welcome to Yorkshire iPhone App has been awarded a 4+ star rating from the App Store.

The official Yorkshire App locates a person’s position in Yorkshire and allows them to search for attractions and activities based on the distance to the location within a 5, 10, 15 or 30 mile radius. It also has information on the weather, enabling people to plan the best activity for the weather conditions. Additionally users can build a bespoke list of favourite things to do using the “Favourites” tab.

The Welcome to Yorkshire iPhone App also has Google Maps so users can pinpoint exact locations or use the What’s On feature to keep up to date with major events and festivals taking place in Yorkshire.

Apple claims over five billion apps have been downloaded to date and Welcome to Yorkshire is hoping its official App will spread the word about Yorkshire across the UK and internationally.

The App is so simple to use and packed full of information – it’s everything you need to know about Yorkshire in the palm of your hand.
