Redesigned Airbnb app now available for Summer 2025

Today, Airbnb unveiled its 2025 Summer Release, ushering in a brand new era of travel from the company that first introduced a way to book a home like a hotel in 2007.  With today’s launch, Airbnb is going beyond homes and introducing two offerings – Airbnb Services and completely reimagined Airbnb Experiences.

This is all powered by a new tech stack that allows hosts to offer homes, services, and experiences – and many more offerings in the years ahead. The new Airbnb app – now available to download – features a new design system with a beautifully animated interface that brings the world of Airbnb to life.

  • Built on a new tech stack–Over the past several years, Airbnb has rebuilt its technology stack, including overhauling and modernising the app experience. This new tech stack now allows hosts to introduce even more offerings in the years ahead.
  • A dimensional design system–Airbnb created a design system with a dimensional and beautifully animated interface – including with new 3D iconography – that brings the world of Airbnb to life, so planning your trip feels effortless and delightful.
  • The app that travels with you–From the moment you book your home, the app suggests services and experiences we think you’ll love – and when you arrive at your destination, the app welcomes you with a detailed itinerary, with recommendations for experiences happening nearby throughout your stay.
  • Explore homes, services and experiences–Users logging into Airbnb starting today will now find an entirely new homepage, where you can discover homes in popular destinations, experiences that fit your schedule, and services around the world.

 

Airbnb Experiences

One of the top reasons people book an Airbnb is because they can live like a local. But it’s hard to find the best things to do when you’re somewhere new. Too often, you end up in a big group, following a tour guide with a megaphone, doing activities that feel like you’re ticking a box. What if there was a more authentic way to experience a city?

Today, we’re introducing completely reimagined Airbnb Experiences – hosted by locals who know their city best. We’re launching experiences in over 650 cities around the world and adding more every day. Uncover the best parts of a city with experiences like:

Reimagined nearly every part of the app, including:

  • Explore tab –  An all-new homepage to discover homes in popular destinations, experiences that fit your schedule, and services around the world.
  • Trips tab – An advanced travel itinerary with a schedule of your trip, details about your home, and the services and experiences you’ve booked.
  • Messages – A revamped messaging platform with photo and video sharing and integrated payments for customising services.
  • Profile – A redesigned Airbnb profile lets you share where you’ve travelled on Airbnb and see the people you’ve met along the way. Airbnb profiles also highlight the over 200 million guests and hosts worldwide who have completed our identity verification process.

Rebuilt the app for hosts to include everything they need to manage their home, service or experience:

  • Airbnb Setup – A simplified listing creation tool makes it easy for hosts to submit a service or experience to Airbnb.
  • Today tab – An all-new reservations management tab makes it easy to see details about upcoming reservations to help hosts provide exceptional hospitality.
  • Calendar – A redesigned calendar for homes, features a new daily view  with an hour-by-hour schedule and real-time integration with Google Calendar.
  • Listings tab – New listing management tools for services and experiences make it easy for hosts to adjust every aspect of their listing, from location to pricing.

SoundPEATS Open-ear Clip-on Earbuds PearlClip Pro Review

The SoundPEATS Open-ear Clip-on Earbuds PearlClip Pro are their latest on offer giving you a bit more though compared to the PopClip we recently checked out there is some differences between both but both deliver in the audio department.

The design on the PearClip Pro for me is the winner with a premium finish and look and better design however this is just my feelings on them.

The design on both of these earbuds is nice and the new design we will see more of again this year and these fit well on the ears and more secure than one would expect delivering the sound into your ears slightly differently than conventional earbuds yet allowing you to hear your surroundings too.

The audio is also slightly better here and comparing the PopClip they do stand out a bit more all round with the full audio experience overall. The PearClip Pro offer an almost real in ear earbud listening experience and with their app you have many controls at hand to enhance the overall experience and the 12mm Dual-Magnet Driver & Dynamic EQ for clear highs and deep bass and adjustments on their app seals the deal for me here over the 10.8mm drivers on the Pop Clip you will not be dissapointed.

The controls also work well being touch based over button control on the PoP Clip on the earbuds with all the functions you need at hand wit your skip and reverse tracks lower and higher volume profile change and access to your voice assistant, calls also pretty clear on testing and overall a great pair of clip-on earbuds to be had here if you have not tried them yet, between them both they both do a great job here and it is down to personal taste both have the same functionality slightly different looks but the PearClip Pro take the winners seat for me overall.

Bringing Camera and Screen Sharing to Gemini Live in the Gemini app

Today Google has just announced some exciting updates to the Gemini app. As of today, the Gemini Live Camera & Screen Sharing feature, initially announced in March, is fully rolled out to all Gemini Advanced subscribers on compatible Android devices. It has also been expanded to all Gemini Basic users on Pixel 9 and Samsung S25 devices.

Imagine the possibilities: Gemini Live now allows for natural conversations in over 45 languages, enhanced by the ability to share your camera or screen. This means real-time, intuitive help for everyday tasks – from getting styling advice and tech support to brainstorming interior design ideas and so much more.

This enhanced Gemini Live experience, rooted in the Project Astra research prototype showcased at Google I/O last May, represents a significant step towards a universal AI assistant that truly understands and interacts with the world around you.

Google is building an AI assistant that understands your world, and this update is a powerful demonstration of that vision. By bringing the ability to share your camera or phone screen with Gemini and discuss it in real time, users can share even more context, interacting naturally and unlocking a new level of intuitive help that can simplify and enrich their lives.

See more below

5 ways to use Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing

In March, we began rolling out the ability to talk live with Gemini about anything you see, whether it’s through your phone’s screen or through its camera. This is now available to all Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android devices, and today we’re bringing it to more people, starting with all Gemini app users on Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 devices.

Gemini Live lets you have natural, free-flowing conversations with Gemini in over 45 different languages. Want to give it a try? Check out these five ways people have told us that using their camera or sharing their screen with Gemini Live has made life easier.

1. Organize your space

Feeling overwhelmed by spring cleaning? Start by aiming your camera at a messy drawer, a cluttered closet or an overflowing shelf. Ask Gemini for suggestions on how to categorize items, maximize space or even identify what you can donate or discard. Get real-time advice and visual guidance as you declutter, letting Gemini be your organization partner.

2. Brainstorm creative projects

If you’re stuck in a creative rut, brainstorm out loud with Gemini. Show your photos to Gemini by sharing your screen: you could share images of something that inspires you, like the textures of a tree or the colors of a bustling market, and ask Gemini to spark ideas for designs, creative writing or even crafts.

3. Troubleshoot and get input

Have a squeaky chair? A glitching record player? With Gemini Live’s camera input, you can show Gemini what you’re seeing in real time and get quick input while you work. Just point your camera at the issue and chat with Gemini to figure out a plan.

4. Get personal shopping advice

Tired of endless tabs and indecisive online shopping? Share your screen in Gemini Live as you browse online retailers, and Gemini can be your personal shopping assistant. Ask for comparisons between products or for style advice on outfits. You can even show Gemini specific items and ask what would compliment them using your camera to show your own wardrobe. Get instant feedback on your choices, ensuring you make informed (and stylish) purchases.

5. Develop your skills and get feedback

Share your screen with Gemini and get valuable feedback on your work, whether it’s your latest blog post, social media campaign or collection of photos. Get advice on everything from profile pictures and captions to overall layout and design. Gemini can analyze your content, identify areas for improvement and provide personalized recommendations to help you make a lasting impression.

Is A Casino App Necessary When Deciding The Legitimacy of An Online Casino?

While the growth of online casinos has grown considerably in recent years, it’s important to be wary of which ones are legitimate and which ones are out there to scam people out of their money.

Is a casino app necessary when deciding the legitimacy of an online casino? Absolutely. Often enough, the most reputable online casinos will have an app that users can download to gamble on the go, wherever and whenever they may need to.

But aside from apps, how else can you spot a legitimate online casino? What are the red flags to look out for when it comes to illegitimate ones? This guide will look at the benefits of online casino apps and why they’re important for deciding legitimacy, as well as other things to look out for when assessing the legitimacy of a casino site.

Is a casino app necessary for the legitimacy of an online casino?

While some online casinos don’t have apps and are still legitimate, having one certainly boosts the trust and loyalty that new users have when browsing for online casino sites.

Anyone can create a website – or app for that matter – however there’s a lot more effort that goes into creating an app and making sure it operates exactly like its website counterpart.

Often enough, it’s easy to spot a scam app but not so much a scam site for online casinos. That’s why it’s always good practice to go with an online casino site that has an app as part of it’s features.

The benefits of casino apps to users

Whether you’re looking for the best casino apps for slots or for bingo, what are the benefits of using a casino app? How does it benefit the casino’s users?

Exclusive bonuses and promotions

With many casino apps, in order to incentivize their users to download and use the app, they offer exclusive bonuses and promotions. These are bonuses and promotions that are often more rewarding, or at the very least, not available on the website of the casino itself.

Easily accessible for on-the-go use

With a casino app, there’s a lot more accessibility to it because with a mobile phone, it’s easy to just pop into your pocket or handbag. For a desktop computer or laptop, it’s a lot more challenging to use on the go, especially for entertainment purposes.

With a smartphone, an app is a benefit because you can gamble anywhere you want, at any time. So that could be on your commute into work, or perhaps during an ad break while watching your favorite television series.

Improved graphics and gameplay

With a lot of smartphones, the mobile graphics tend to be a lot more high-tech, especially if you’re getting one of the latest mobile phones to come out on the market. Some mobile phones are more geared towards gameplay too, making the apps stand out more, both the visual and audible experience that users get.

More games and a wider range of games

A casino app is helpful to have in order to provide more experiences for the user. Alongside making it a legitimate experience, having more games and a wider range of games is helpful to improve the gameplay experience for users both old and new.

5 red flags to spot when looking for illegitimate online casino sites

What are some of the red flags to spot when you’re on a casino site? While there are many casinos that come with apps, not all of them will be legitimate, so it’s good to spot the warning signs that might encourage you to not deposit your money and spend on the site.

1. Too good to be true bonuses and promotions

As mentioned above, one of the appeals to downloading a casino app is the exclusive bonuses and promotions it offers to new users and existing ones of the desktop version.

However, one thing to be mindful of when it comes to both playing via the app and on the site itself, is how authentic these bonuses and promotions are. If the bonus or promotion seems a little too good to be true, or guarantees a certain amount of winnings, then it might be a scam.

 

It’s always worth it in this case, to draw some comparisons from other sites to see just how legitimate the bonus or promotional offer is.

2. Missing licensing information

In order for any legitimate casino site to exist and operate as a gambling site, it needs to have the correct licensing information. 

Legitimate sites will proudly display their licensing details, a lot of the time on multiple pages and clearly so that you can spot it almost immediately. Any rogue casinos will tend to bury the information or fake it with logos that don’t look quite right.

3. Delayed or denied withdrawals

When you’ve banked some winnings or you’re looking to withdraw what you might no longer want to use for gambling, typically the withdrawal process will be quick. As such, you often get your payouts within twenty-four to a few days depending on the casino itself.

However, the casinos that are illegitimate, might delay the withdrawals or deny them completely.

4. A lack of customer support

Always be wary of the quality of customer support you’re getting when it comes to the online casino. If the support is lacking, then this is often telling that they might not have enough support on hand, or that they’re operating illegally or with scam intentions.

5. Negative player reviews or scam reports

Finally and perhaps the most telling one when deciding on the legitimacy of a site is the number of negative reviews or scam reports being made about the site. Always look at review sites to get a realistic idea of just how authentic or inauthentic the site might be. Scam reports are certainly ones to take seriously.

A casino app is a great way to validate the authenticity of an online casino site. However, it’s always good to be wary of the red flags that might have you stepping away from the site and putting your wallet away.
