RepBud is the CRM and network for the travel trade. Joining and connecting is free. Reps, DMCs, travel agents, tour operators, properties, travel PR and travel media find each other, connect and message — on their own terms, opt-in throughout. FREE TO JOIN AND CONNECT Connections — Find the people who sell, represent and write about travel, by role and by place. Connect, then message one to one or in a group. Bud Board — The trade's own feed. Read what your connections are posting and share your own news. RepBud Jobs — A jobs board for the travel trade. Posting a role is free. Say you are open to work, apply, and follow your application. Reporter briefs — Travel journalists post what they are working on. Connected reps and travel PR read the brief and pitch what they can offer. RepBud Ready — Properties and experiences looking for representation list free and are matched with reps. No cold outreach, no chasing. Who's Nearby — At a show or on a sales trip, see which members are close by. You stay invisible until you choose otherwise. THE CRM FOR REPS By Thursday of a trade show you've forgotten who said what, and by the time reports are due it's a scramble. RepBud takes the record as the meeting happens. MEETINGS AND FOLLOW-UPS Field Log — Capture an interaction in seconds. Type it, speak it, or photograph your handwritten notes. The Lantern — Forward an email or a WhatsApp message and RepBud pulls out the key details. Edit them, log the interaction, and your follow-up tasks are drafted. The Trail — Your action items and follow-ups in one place, prioritised and in front of you. Daily Briefing — Start the day knowing what needs your attention: meetings, open tasks, priorities. BEFORE YOU WALK IN Meeting Prep — Recent interactions, open tasks, key contacts and what's outstanding, before you sit down. Smart Email Finder — Find professional contact details without hunting through email chains. Pre-Meeting Scan — See what has changed on an industry website before you walk in. Prospect intelligence — Background on a company you are meeting for the first time. CONTACTS AND CLIENTS Contacts and Companies — Your people and their businesses, intelligently organised and searchable in seconds. Business card scanning — Photograph a card and RepBud reads the name, company, email, phone and job title. Intelligent Reports — When client reports are due, RepBud generates them in one tap over the date range you need. No more Sunday night scramble. Client Knowledge Base and Looking Forward — What a client needs to know, and the pipeline ahead. Trip Planner — Plan a sales trip with purpose. See who you met before and what was discussed, plan logistics and budgets, send your invites and head off. GETTING IN TOUCH Native Email — Send and receive without leaving the contact record. Reach — Run a campaign to a segment of your book, not a spreadsheet. Social posts and Newsletters — Draft the trade update you mean to write. Relay — Send large files as a link that expires, not an attachment that bounces. Respond — Put a form in front of a client and collect the answers in one place. Reconnect — Meetings and webinars with your trade partners. Revenue — Your accounting workspace: invoices, expenses and business mileage, beside the relationships they came from. RepBud Rover — Bring a colleague in and Rover rewards you for it. RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement.

Not enough ratings yet to assess RepBud. ## Is RepBud legit? RepBud: Travel Trade CRM appears legitimate, with a few gaps. The AppsHunter Legitimacy Score for RepBud is 65 out of 100 points across 7 verification signals from App Store and developer data. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6.1 — 2026-10-12 The network, front and centre. • Connections brings Bud Board, Jobs, Reporter Briefs, Messages, Group chats and Who's Nearby together on one screen. • The Prize Wheel opens inside the app, and your phone works as a remote for the wheel on a big screen. • Ask Ray is on hand from each screen when you want a question answered. • Fixes and polish throughout. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-10-12 Unlock RepBud with Face ID. • Turn on Face ID or Touch ID and RepBud opens with a glance. After signing out, sign in normally. The check happens on your iPhone; RepBud only learns that it matched. • Group messages: write once to a group of your connections, such as travel agents near Edinburgh, and each person receives it on their own, with their first name. Replies come back to you alone. • Travel media can now sign up in the app, with a home for their briefs and projects. • Places are picked from one list, so a search on Auckland finds the members in Orewa, and you can add the other countries you work from. • Connect now sits near the top of your home screen, so anything waiting on you is in view when the app opens. • Optional Wheel Pro enhancements add branded entry pages, custom questions and event reports. Existing free prize wheel features remain free. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-22 Try a cabin before you pay. • Premium Economy, Business Class and First Class now start with a 14-day free trial. Your App Store account is charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. • When you reach something your cabin does not include, RepBud offers the trial right there, and Your Cabin shows the price and the terms beside it. • Who's Nearby now tells you when your location could not be updated, and why. • Smaller fixes and clearer wording across the app. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-14 Sign in the way you already do. • Create your RepBud account, or sign in, with Apple, Google or LinkedIn, alongside email. • Choosing Apple lets you keep your email address private. • Whichever you choose, you land in the same account and the same setup. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-04 Your phone's contacts, in one pass. • Import from the contacts already on your phone. Choose the ones that belong in your book — nothing is copied until you say so. • Who's Nearby now tells you how near, and the chip row stays put instead of growing down the screen. • A reply carries what its thread was about, so a threaded conversation reads as one thing. • Reports no longer treat a test message as a live enquiry, and an image that could not load stops pretending it might. • Faster to get where you are going: the Field Log, Reports, The Trail, your contacts and the Reserve directories all open straight from a link. ## Apps similar to RepBud | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Central Europe Specialist](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/central-europe-specialist/id1440723709) | — | Free | Business | | [OASFAA](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oasfaa/id6743497527) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [Raffle Vault](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/raffle-vault/id6759882376) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [Africas Travel Indaba](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/africas-travel-indaba/id6479795282) | — | Free | Business | | [ALTS Events](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alts-events/id6757530991) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [IGLTA Convention](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/iglta-convention/id6443550040) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | ## More apps by Kusa Connect - [Kusa Connect](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kusa-connect/id6759833677) - [Annual Africa Tourism Evening](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/annual-africa-tourism-evening/id6767036731) - [Confidence Africa Tours](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/confidence-africa-tours/id6780297217) - [Wildtouch Tours & Travel](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wildtouch-tours-and-travel/id6799978227) - [Famous Africa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/famous-africa/id6805945576) All apps by Kusa Connect: https://appshunter.io/developer/1881063582 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
