PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pistio. is an iPhone ski-trip planner for friends and families. It brings travel
bookings, accommodation, skiing, a shared itinerary, chat, polls, checklists and
expenses into one place. Travellers can plan for the whole group or selected
people, keep personal details private and track deposits and final payments
separately. Pistio. is currently in private beta.

WHAT TO LOOK AT

- The stay: multiple properties with their own addresses, guests and access details.
- The skiing: passes, lessons and equipment hire.
- Booking payments: separate deposits and final payments, dates, payers and shares.
  Only payments marked paid and shared in Expenses affect group balances.
- Day itinerary: selected people, invitation replies, connected bookings,
  Next together and optional reminders. Shared is the default; Busy shares
  people and times; Private is visible only to its author.
- Trip chat and photos, polls, shared and personal checklists.
- Supported resort forecasts and a searchable destination catalogue.
- Phone-first saving, shared updates when connected; voting and account
  actions require a connection. Optional biometric app lock and notifications.
