LiquidSpace Launches Android App, New Web Search
PALO ALTO, CA—Have you heard of LiquidSpace? It’s a mobile application that helps you find the right workspace for you. LiquidSpace just rolled out an Android app and an enhanced Web search interface to cater to the more than 1 billion mobile workers around the world.
With the update, LiquidSpace now gives you real-time access and the ability to immediately book spaces at more than 100 venues in the San Francisco Bay area and more than 1,000 workspaces across the nation. The venues on LiquidSpace let you rent space by the day or even the hour, and you can choose from coworking cafes to business centers to private offices to city libraries and local hotels. It’s a perfect supplement to the virtual office user’s world.
“We’re not only thrilled at the volume of spaces, but also the unique types of spaces we’re bringing on board,” says Mark Gilbreath, CEO and co-founder of LiquidSpace. “Workspace should be a personal choice. We all thrive in different professional settings, and there can be a great space for each and every individual. Now more than ever, our users have the freedom and resources to choose their ideal work environment right when they need it.”
Here’s how it works: You can browse based on various parameters, including location, venue, meeting space size, and availability—and you don’t even have to sign in to do it. The results include venue details like ratings, photos, location, hours, amenities and pricing. With the mobile app, you can zero in on the space that best suits your needs based on your current location. Once you find what you are looking for, you can book your space immediately with a credit card and get directions.
“With our latest platform improvements, you can book with confidence—confidence that the space you saw and chose is yours and will be ready and waiting for you,” Gilbreath says. “No one else offers that real-time functionality right now.”
