***Looking for Passenger Feedback***

Hello travelers

We're developing a location-based 'Super App' for travelers on layover and would appreciate your wisdom. How would you like to be entertained during your layover as a traveler? What do you usually do on your smartphone, iPad, tablet or notebook to avoid boredom while you're waiting to depart?

With much respect,
James

Bump - I think this idea deserves a further opportunity.

Read, do crosswords, and drink in bars.

Sit in the lounge and play Angry Birds Space.

It'd be really cool if someone could develop a device that's a collection of bound paper pages with words printed on them, conveying some kind of fictional or documentary narrative. I bet you could kill all kinds of time with that, and you wouldn't have to worry about charging it!

I like to go shopping in the airport before our flight, getting last minute holiday stuff, then going for a cooked breakfast (as our flights are always in the morning) and finishing off with a latte

If I can't sit in a lounge, I just want a decent place to sit, somewhere with more power outlets so I can charge my iPad and just read.

I don't want anyone else to choose what I watch or do with my time, I have a functioning brain and am able to choose my entertainment myself. Also I really do try to minimize layover time, as would most smart travelers and so you are targeting a fairly narrow audience. Additionally I use that time to catch-up on missed calls/VM's and email. Sorry - I would not pay or participate in a scheme such as the one proposed by the OP.
