GetMobio can be freely downloaded by users onto their mobile phones, with new applications being delivered automatically as they become available.

These collections range from “After Midnight� to “Outwitting the Kids� and provide access to everything from hip lounges and comedy clubs to local hospitals and ice cream shops. Mobio also works with partners such as Kaboodle and OpenTable and develops targeted applications such as Mobile Flight Times, Mobile Movie Times and Mobile Fine Dining.

After Midnight – Places to go after midnight.
Stepping Out – High-energy places to see and be seen.
Chilling Out – Low-key places to meet up and do things.
