Brooklyn Bridge, the App: Also built by the Roeblings
Kriss Roebling Tells Story of `Great Bridge’
Kriss Roebling, a lifelong New Yorker and great-great-great grandson of Washington and Emily Roebling, the husband-and-wife team who built the Brooklyn Bridge, has now developed a new tour app for people who want to explore the bridge and learn more about it.
“I’m a true lover of my smartphone,” he said, “so I was disappointed to find that my ancestor’s bridge wasn’t very efficiently represented in the app world.
“As a result, my wife and I set out to create a truly comprehensive, flexible and multi-functional Brooklyn Bridge tour app for people who want to explore and learn about the bridge using their phones rather than tour books or live guides. I feel that we accomplished that task.”
