The application is freely available on the Apple app store, but after its acquisition by Google the app will be removed from the iStore. Google has not given any official statement on if the app will now only be available on the Android platform or a new version will be available on the iOS as well. Jetpac said it will stop supporting the app by mid-September.

The financial details of the merger are still not clear. Jetpac is a good acquisition by the Internet mammoth. This app enables people to search for local clubs and pubs in more than 6,000 cities across the globe. Google should take great advantage of their codes and maybe string them in on Google maps.
