Upcoming Apps thread

Buschmaster, that is a terrific app. A lot of us try to eat healthy, but it's so tough with all of the garbage being served. Thank you and my fiance and myself will be some of the first to buy it.

How about Jason's Deli, Jersey Mike's, and In-N-Out (I would be in such bad shape if I lived on the West Coast)? What email address can we send local suggestions to? Thanks again!

Glad to hear I have a few perspective buyers early on. :)

For now why don't you send the suggestions to buschmaster@gmail.com. I'll do my best with any of your suggestions. :)

anyone know of any video recording apps coming?

I heard something about QIK creating a very nice video app. Check out their website or google iPhone video app QIK, something like that. Should be out soon from what I saw/read.
 
anyone know about the slider app? (the one that keeps the sliders on the unlock page with info on emails, texts etc)
 
Buschmaster, like others I agree this is a great app. Having been a frequent visitor to two sites called Calorie King and Diet Facts I can say that having something more native is perfect. Looking things up on the iPhone at those sites is difficult, not just because of being on edge, but because they're not mobile phone friendly really.

If you do indeed submit at least 10 new restaurants a month then this will be a great app. I think hitting the major FF chains first, then the major casual dining restaurants. Maybe even have a small section for basic foods or something. Either way, I think this would be an app that would be worth buying.

I believe Spore is said to be coming out in September.

I'm never really sure when to talk about my own apps on here but I have a few...

I suppose I'll just talk about the one that should be on today or real soon since it was submitted early this week.

Briefly...
It will give you the nutritional information of different restaurants. So you pick your restaurant and you get their menu and then you can also add it to your "plate" which can store things maybe such as... A burger, fries, a drink and a dessert. Then it will add together all of those nutritional facts for you. I'll attach a couple screenshots to give you better ideas.

Comon, why not just make an app that electroshocks you every time you go to Wendy's instead? Do you really have to buy an application in order to figure out that ALL fast food is bad for you?

Has your society and physical education in the US really come to this? I am baffled, really... :eek:

When I submitted it to the app store I submitted it with only a few restaurants since I did promise 10 extra restaurants a month. So I believe the submitted version has Arbys, Chilis, Jimmy John's, Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday's, Taco John's and Wendy's. Now I have even more ready to deploy and the moment it hits the app store an update will be ready and here should be everything that's ready for that update:
Applebee's
Arby's
Burger King
Caribou
Chili's
Chipotle
Dairy Queen
Jimmy John's
KFC
McDonalds
Olive Garden
Red Lobster
Ruby Tuesday's
Sonic
Starbucks
Subway
Taco John's
Wendy's

Also, we've been encouraging people to submit ideas for restaurants to be added. So any that you feel should make it on there ASAP send us an email and we'll be sure to get it on there right away!

We promised 100 by the end of 2008 but I am thinking I will bump that waaaaay up. So far this week we've completed almost 10 restaurants nutritional facts, and starting next week we will be pounding even more into it, so I'd expect weekly updates through about mid-August adding 10-15 restaurants every time. We may even shoot for as many as 200 by the end of 2008, which, when you think about it, is a lot!


This app was inspired by someone who has diabetes, but can serve so many purposes. I hope it helps you become more healthy, we're going to post more health tips on our website very soon. Just about anyone in the world could be more health (Including myself!) so it never hurts to have some reminders!

Like I said above, the database will include only 15-20 places when you actually buy it, but we're committed to including everything we can and if you feel something is left out you let us know and we'll add it as soon as we can.

Also, every update for more restaurants will be free, so in a sense you're buying into the system and you can even suggest restaurants that are very localized to your area, we have no problem trying to get those in, too!

Yes. We are all robots that have been programmed by the Yum! corporation. We no longer think for ourselves. We exist only on fast food cheeseburgers and soda.

It seems to me that for every overweight / ignorant US citizen on a public forum there is one smug, condesending person from another country.
 
i would LOVE to have :

Epocrates (full version) not just the Rx
Medical Dictionary app

Also surprised they dont have a Wikipedia app yet.

He's right though, no need to be defensive.

LOL a list of places that you should pretty much not eat at in the first place, for the most part, you shouldn't need to buy an app to tell you that, come on.
 
eBuddy

Expect to see a iPhone native version of www.ebuddy.com this coming week.
It will allow you to get chatty with MSN, yahoo, aim, gtalk, myspace and icq, or all at once if you create an ebuddy account! Should be a great release.. At least I like it a lot and often even prefer it over the native messengers..

Also pretty soon touchpad pro will come to the app store.. under a new name apparently though.. this has been my favorite app so far for the jailbroken iphones.. it allows you control your pcs in a vnc way, but even better with media controls and all! i use it almost every day to control my mac mini thats connected to my tv. luv it! (www.touchpadpro.com)

What if you're diabetic? Clearly the society and physical education in the US can't be blamed for that.

What is the problem with knowing what you're eating?:)

$4.99, seems fair enough, eh?

Thank you, oh so wise ones, for clearing the fog of ignorance from my eyes. With my newfound clarity I definitely won't need this app to help me pick the healthiest meal when my family goes out to dinner.

I also won't need it to help me see how many calories there are in my lunch at TGI Fridays was so I know how many calories I have left for the day.

Once again I thank you for saving me from this crutch instead of doing it all myself. I can only hope to aspire to your high levels of self control and never do anything that is bad for me like you fine folk.
