GateGuru for your iPhone

GateGuru is a real cool tool for your iPhone

The basic concept behind GateGuru is that it can help you find amenities at the airport. Its list is extremely comprehensive. When you start the app, it uses your current location to pick the closest airport (or the airport you are at right now). Obviously, you can manually select airports if you need information on an upcoming trip or segment.
Once in an airport selection, you simply pick the terminal (for multi-terminal airports), then you are presented with a list of all the amenities. The list is fantastic. You'll find the common stuff like restaurants and shops, but also ATM's, mailboxes, computer charging stations and frequent flier lounges. You can also narrow down the results by selecting food, shops or services as your search category.

You can search for these locations by name, and by gate, as each of the entries describes exactly where you'll find it. So, if you are sitting at gate B22, you can enter the gate number, and find exactly what's around you.

Once in an entry, you can view its location, photo, rating, category and any user submitted reviews. That user submission portion of the app is one of its best features, and a sure way to kill some time at the airport. Just had a bad lunch at the airport ? Rate the establishment from inside the app, and share it with the world. Found an awesome bakery? Describe what made it so cool, and help fellow travelers.
