DIRECTV for BUSINESSSM continues to enhance its Advanced Entertainment Platform by adding two new hyperlocal content apps, CitySeeker and EventSeeker, to the platform.
Developed by WCities, the CitySeeker and EventSeeker apps give DIRECTV for BUSINESS Advanced Entertainment customers suggestions on local attractions and events based on the property’s location and includes the ability to purchase tickets by scanning a QR code.
- CitySeeker delivers curated recommendations and information on local attractions including restaurants, tourist attractions, nightlife and more.
- EventSeeker provides upcoming suggestions and detailed descriptions on events, performances and experiences including concerts, sporting events, cultural gatherings, and more.
