RCI app review:a huge directory of time share holiday resorts

Introduction

It can sometimes be hard to find a great holiday destination if you don’t want to travel around. You can stay in expensive hotels or resorts all over the world, but sometimes it’s a lot nicer to stay in a place where you know it’s safe and all amenities are taken care of. RCI, which stands for Resort Condominiums International, is an app that allows you to browse time shares all over the world and check if they are perfect for you.

Regrettably you can’t see any of the prices or availability in this app, but you can check out the location and some photos for over 5000 time shares across the globe.

What It Offers

The main use for this app is to search and compare these time shares, which lets you know what rooms are available and when check-in times and check-out times are. The app also has a ton of videos you can watch, which are all based around locations, not the actual time shares. An endless stream of videos are available for you to watch and help you to find the ideal location for you, all over the world.

You can also use the SnapBook function, allowing you to capture and share videos, photos, and notes from your holiday and share these with family and friends. You can even track exactly where you are, with the app broadcasting your location every 30 minutes or so. To use SnapBook you will need an RCI account, which also allows you to use the account alerts functionality, updating you on the latest news.

 

Searching and Comparing

As mentioned before, the main function is to find and compare timeshares. This is really easy. If you know the resort ID, you can instantly get the resort page loaded in the app; however, you can also search on a map, browsing by state, country, or even smaller areas on a map. You can easily set multiple resorts for comparison, meaning it will be saved in the compare screen where you can compare multiple resorts head to head. You can save them to My Resorts as well, so you can access them quickly when you need to.

The biggest letdown is the lack of pricing and the fact you can’t book straight from the app. 

 

Pros and Cons

Conclusion

RCI is a very good app for people who want to see and compare different time shares around the world. It’s easy to use, and offers tons of extra options you wouldn’t expect. The biggest downside is the lack of booking and pricing options, as you will need to go online to book or see prices. The app is designed for both iPad and iPhone and is 12 MB in size.
