Jeju, certified by UNESCO as 2010’s Global Geopark, is more than just another one of Korea’s islands. With its Natural World Heritage Site Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, Jeju is Korea’s most valuable and beautiful island. From rugged sea shores to open plains with horses, from mountains, caves, waterfalls and other landscape attractions to fun activities like golfing, submarine tours or pleasure boat rides, FunJeju is the iPhone app to have around when traveling to that part of the world.

Once you start the app, you need to let it know where you’re going and allow it to use your current location. You can either pick up your destination from the Address book, perhaps you’re going to visit a friend, or search for a destination [...]
