Although not yet officially available for download on the iOS or Android app stores, the app can be downloaded by following WalkingCat’s links. App desciptions in the linked pages reveal that Outings features high quality stories about places based on a user’s interests, and the ability to build bucket lists. Microsoft appears to be partnering with travel companies to invite them to add their content to the app. Other features can be seen below.

Outings makes planning easy by showing you all the relevant details and pictures – all in one place. Powered by curated stories and topics aggregated from travel blogs, Outings will ensure that you have a steady stream of new places to visit and can share your adventures with fellow roamers.
