On the evening of December 5, the annual award ceremony for the winners of the Runet Rating, the All—Russian competition for digital projects, was held. The mobile application of the Island received gold in the category “Recreation and entertainment”!
About the competition
As part of the Runet Rating award, users evaluated websites and mobile applications: how easy it is to figure them out, whether the design is pleasing to the eye, whether the online service solves a specific task – from food delivery and search for cultural events to hotel reservations.
From June 17 to October 7, 2024, the popular vote continued, after which the jury members — professionals in web and mobile development, as well as business representatives took over the assessment. Finally, in early December, the winners among the 300+ participants were announced.
The full list of this year’s winners can be viewed on the award’s website.
About appendix No. 1
The Islet app is your friend and travel planning assistant. The app already has more than 8 million downloads in the App Store and Google Play — it’s understandable: as on the site, you will find more than 150,000 hotels, apartments, glamping, cottages and guest houses all over Russia, and more than 2.6 million in the world. But that’s not all.:
- sooo many filters to find the perfect hotel: “Beach nearby”, “Pool”, “Spa services” and more;
- Interactive map to measure the distance from the hotel to any point — to the beach, cable car and nearby attractions;
- GURU Island loyalty program with discounts on accommodation from 10% to 40% and bonuses for frequent travelers. Favorable offers on the website and in the application are marked with the corresponding GURU icon.
As they like to say during family feasts, we do not get tired of congratulating the team of the wonderful Island application. But we are not relaxing — in 2025 we plan to become even cooler so that our dear users can continue to book hotels and apartments with pleasant discounts simply and conveniently.
