New in the Android Market is an App called Tesco Locator. Shows your nearest stores by distance (By GPS, or search for other city), with opening hours, store facilities & maps and directions.
Please download, and let me know what you think. New features coming soon.
Just too good app. Don't know how I managed without it so far... Keep up the good work!
Cheers / Raj
Thanks Raj,
There will be a minor update this weekend, and hopefully some added functionality before the end of April. We're actively looking for ways to improve the app, so if there's anything you'd like to see, we're open to suggestions!
If people could add ratings on the market as well it would be much appreciated!
Change it to Supermarket Locator and add Asda, Sainsburys etc into the mix
Now that would be a nice app lol

agreed! =]
For some reason, I can no longer to my online shopping from my N1. I've tried it from a variety of different ROM's and even got others to try too... it would appear Tesco is blocking us? The page just wont load, although the exact same url loads fine on my PC.
So, make this app so it works in conjunction with their online delivery ordering and it would be a winner. Scan a products barcode and then press 'add to shopping list' would make this an awesome app.
I e-mailed all the major online grocery shops a month or so ago, no-one was interested in an Android app and it almost makes me angry. Everyone loves the iPhone, but give it a couple more months and Android will be the dominant online mobile device (right now it's actually almost even!)
**Double post**
Thanks for all of your feedback.
In response to the Supermarket Locator, this is something we are currently looking into as a possibility. It has always been on our agenda to open this project up to the other supermarkets, and hopefully we can make this happen in the not too distant future.
AndyCr15 - That's definitely something which is being actively pursued. We have a few ideas for future development of the Tesco specific app, and we are investigating the best way to get the information and functionality onto the Android platform. Product searching is a mammoth area, so I cant promise anything immediately, but it is happening!
There will be another release in the next couple of weeks, with a new feature or two, and some code fixes for efficiency, and hopefully we'll be able to release regular updates and new features.
Hi there,
is it possible to get the application outside the UK? I live in Germany and it doesn't show up on the market (Android 2.1/ Samsung Galaxy Spica/ Portal). I will be coming to the Uk shortly and I just wanted to give it a test.
Cheers, Patrick
Hi,
At the moment our Locator is only for UK stores, and as such we've limited it's availability to the UK. We didn't really envisage a need for it to be included in other markets!
The GPS based location finder wouldn't be very useful from abroad, but there is a text search field as well, so I'm sure it will be of some use. Will you have a data plan or WiFi access whilst in the UK, as this is necessary to obtain the store details and maps etc.
Could you send an email to [email protected], so that if we dont choose to open it up to other markets, I can at least give you the apk to install?
Whats the source of the gps data for this?
Only asking because I normally use google maps for this sort of thing, but their data is imprecise and can be quite a way off.
I was looking for a B&Q the other day and maps showed a cluster of three - none of which were located correctly, satelite view and streetview confirmed this.
If your data source is better than google's you could be onto a winner.
BTW I just checked my local tesco in gmaps and its about 400metres off, in the wrong road in somebodies back garden!
I would guess he's used Google's data. Do you really think he's been able to go round to thousands of Tesco's to check? I could be wrong of course
Hi guys, pjmurphy123 is away this weekend but I also developed the app with him.
I can confirm that the locations (latitude and longitude) of the stores are supplied by Tesco along with the actual address, postcode and phone number if available.
This should result in our app providing you with more accurate results than using google maps.
Hope this helps
[email protected]
Okay, cool I wonder where Google Maps get there location data from then?
Just to let any followers of this thread know, that we have released an update for this app over the weekend, allowing the scanning and storing of your Tesco Clubcard, which can then be scanned by till operatives direct from your phone.
I hope that this feature adds some value to the app for a few people. There are some other features which will hopefully be available to be released in the next week or so, so keep your eyes open for that.
If you do find the app useful, please can you add some ratings or feedback on the Android Market.
New version uploaded allowing shortcut to Clubcard to be placed on to Android home screen.
Thinking of adding in shopping list functionality next.
Interested in peoples thoughts/feature requests

Looking at switching from an IPhone to a Winmo device (Touch Pro 2 to be specific) but need to know if some of the applications i use everyday are available. and at what price (if not free)
Shazam:Music Identification. real simple.
Pandora:found a few Cabs around, but no mention of compatibility with WVGA screens.
Urban Spoon: basically a program that uses your current GPS position to locate nearby restaurants.
Fandango/I.TV: shows local theaters, play times. allows purchase of tickets through the program.
Units: quick and easy unit converter.
now, are all these available with a nice finger friendly interface?
thank's for taking your time to help me figure out what all is available.

In my experience with WinMO, simple apps that do only one thing are rare. The iPhone developers are more on that path. With WinMo, you are more likely to find full featured apps. For instance, instead of having an app that will just find the info for a song, you will more likely find a music player with that ability. I think Pocket Music Player (?) can do that. Think more like what kind of apps are out there for windows, you tend to get clones of those for the mobile platform. That is good and bad. For a power user, it is good.
I do know that a good unit converter exists. I for get the name. For a good list of apps, lookup the 2008/2009 smartphone magazine winners and runner-ups for WinMo apps (search google for "best pps apps") and you will find it. It lists a lot of good apps. Also, look up "ppc freeware" for some other good sites.
Shazam exists, do a Google for MusicID, i have a feeling it is only available preinstalled by the carrier but i may well be wrong.
Don't know about the rest.
2- if it is not compatible the graphical layout will be smaller (but in most case it's all right)
3/4- Google maps or the Web do it
5- to many app on the web
D'rath
Yup...
As it's been said, Shazam, and Pandora already exist. I have Shazam MusicID running on my Kaiser on T-Mobile, and it works just fine.
For the other two, why not just use Windows Live (or Bing). Same things all in one app.
http://www.discoverbing.com/mobile/index.html
if you're in love with the iphone UI, then that's one thing. But I'll be real... damn if I understand why one would want to install multiple apps that do simple tasks, when you can have one that does multiple tasks.
To each his own, I s'pose.

the Shazam Application is free? i believe i had heard somewhere it was pay per use.
i believe you underestimate the capabilities of both the Movie application and the "where to eat" application i am asking about. unless Bing can make totally random suggestions about restaurants wherever you are by taking your current GPS location and looking around.
i feel like i will get Smited here for posting this, but this is what i am talking about.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTTIpM4L12s
also has reviews, menu, etc. i understand you can find places to eat with a simple google search. but that doesnt work when you have no idea where to start.
with the movie application you have the ability to read reviews, watch trailers, find show times at each theater, location and buy tickets. also has a normal TV guide. but i do not use that often. or can you easily do all this through the internet browser or other means?
i fear i may sound like a "Fanboy" for the IPhone, but i really am tired of the phones lackluster hardware and generally slow performance, and the less then appealing battery life.
but i do like these applications VERY much. they may only do one thing, but they do them extremely well. that's why i want to know if they are available on this platform because i am very interested in getting a Touch Pro2 when they become available.
As is typical with iphone vs WM, the iphone apps are going to look prettier. But the same things do, or can exist on WM.
I got Music ID here in the development & hacking section, for free. And it works fine on my Kaiser.
I *think* you can get movie reviews on Bing... I THINK! But I know you can find them, and get info about them, and where they're playing.
But it can get you random restaraunts from around you based on your gps, or cell tower location. You can find "restaurant" by typing, or speaking it.
for movie showtimes at nearby theateres, you can lookinto "flix" or "cinemo." flix is for the uk, franc, germany and soon to be for italy and spain too. Cinemo is for the US and Canada. They don't let you buy tickets, but they provide useful info. Both are hosted on this site, so look for it in the development and hacking forum.

finger friendly is rare in winmo as of now...
one more question, when using google maps, (or TomTom, etc) can the program pull address information from contacts?
say im in google maps can i just start typing "current location" in the "start" and have it figure out i mean where i am now? and for the "End" can i just start typing my contacts name and have it automatically enter my contacts address?
and when viewing a contact, can i just click their address and have it automatically pull up Google maps (or any other navigation application) and show me that location?

You can do the former, though not quite as you describe. You click the menu, go to Options and choose "Look up Contact". It then lists your contacts that have address info and will pop up the map to them and give you several options.
The latter you can't do with the built in Windows contact manager, but their might be a 3rd party one that can interface with Google Maps, I don't know.

I think you're underestimating the Bing app. It's not just a web search. The Bing mobile app uses GPS or cell towers to locate you, and then offers local search for restaurants, gas prices, theatre / showtime listings, local businesses. It also gives local weather and traffic reports, AND has a GPS mapping app to give you directions to anywhere you find. And it can even do location-based web searches, pulling up wikipedia articles or news items about places you're near. And the whole thing is built with a finger-friendly interface (although it's still rough around some edges). Heck, it's even got voice-command -- click the "speak" button, say "sushi," and it'll list the nearest sushi places.
Bing might not have every last feature of Urban Spoon or the showtimes app you're talking about, but it certainly has a lot of power of its own.

I am using the standard contacts app and have options for locating in Google maps, Bing (formerly live search), and Garmin XT. Garmin has a sub menu with locate and route to.
If you are running Google maps and you don't have 'locate in Google maps' in the menu for contacts let me know. I would like to find out what put it there.
By the way, as floatingfatman said, you can look up conacts in your mapping app. I can do this in Google maps, Bing, Garmin XT and Destinator.
Midomi is alot easier on the eyes than Musicid. As far as UrbanSpoon I wish there was an app for Winmo, but Bing is the next best thing. With emulators and all is there anyway to get it working on Winmo devices?
I have the touchpro2
midomi is a seems to be a really good app and it's free. it gives you the option to listen to a sample of the song, search youtube or buy the song. you could also hum or sing the song to start the search.
This is much more finger friendly than past versions of winmo. I'm sure it's still not up there with the iphone as far as that goes but it's getting a lot closer.
With the influx of US-TM HD2 owners coming up soon, one of the things I think they might ask for is a Yelp application. I'm guessing this because I wish I had one! It seems every other mobile OS besides Symbian has a native app, but we're stuck with using the mobile site! We don't want to be associated with those Nokia people do we?
If you aren't familiar with Yelp, it's a review site for pretty much any business you can think of - very popular for restaurants, bars, etc. I know people in the US use it a lot. Yelp has a UK/Canada presence as well, not sure how popular it is.
As mentioned, we can currently go to m.yelp.com and search, but it's not ideal since you have to type in your location, type in what you're looking for, and almost makes you not want to use it.
If you get the Yelp app for iPhone, webOS, Android, BB, etc., it'll use your phone's 'network triangulation' or GPS to automatically show you what's around you. Of course, once you have that, you can filter by category (restaurant, shopping, etc.), and sort by rating (and other various features.)
If you click on an item of interest, you can read the reviews, get details on the store (location, hours, etc.), and if the app is developed enough - write reviews, post pictures, and be a contributing member of the site.
Yelp has an API that seems pretty easy and robust, where requests are passed along like so
Code:
Sample Request:
[url]http://api.yelp.com/business_review_search?term=yelp&lat=37.788022&long=-122.399797&radius=10&limit=5&ywsid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[/url]
And you get a crapload of data back, all nicely formatted and easy to handle.
More info here: http://www.yelp.com/developers
TBH, I would try and code it myself, but I'd only be able to create a backend, maybe (never coded for WM before.) The GUI is the most important part since a lot of the heavy lifting is done with the API (otherwise, we'd have to scrape and... ugh.)
I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be interested in such an app, and I'm willing to pay for it. I'll start a bounty of $20 for anyone interested in developing it! All I ask for release is a touch-friendly Yelp reader that transmits current location. Further yelp-contributing features can be developed later @devs discretion.
Maybe Aloqa could help?
Hi Mazzarin,
I am using Aloqa, by default it shows Cafes, Restaurants, "what's hot", Sights, Bars and Cubs, Movies, Wikipedia, Fashion and last.fm.
You can add other channels or create your own.
All the best,
Peter
Aloqa and Yelp
Aloqa has a Yelp channel as well... but...
I would LOVE to have Yelp... +1
I will also put in $10 bounty for this.
p_fr1968: Thanks for the heads up. I'm downloading it now veeerrry slowly. I looked up the app on Marketplace and it seems to have people that either love it or absolutely hate it so lets see!
taimoorhusain: I think I convinced a dev to do it, hopefully we'll see a release soon!
Only had a very quick look at this, shouldn't be too muh hassle writing an app for this, I'd have to dev it for windows then port it WM (as I'm new to the 3.5 cf so don't know what it can and more importantly can't do)
Tried aloqa... it works okay. Seems buggy, doesn't have kinetic scrolling, and only does GPS OR GSM location, not both. I'll write the devs with my thoughts and maybe they'll fix it up! But it DOES have Yelp!
djingonthenet - That would be cool if you could do it, but like I mentioned in the above post, a dev who already has a running app has stated he'll do it. More competition or something I guess?!

Did you ever find a Yelp one? I know you mentioned the developer of Next2Me incorporating it into that (nice) app; but it doesn't seem to have happened.
I find Aloqa's interface a bit scruffy. I noticed there's an app for Qype in the uk app store (Qype's like Yelp but better for Uk/Europe; bit sketchy for U.S.) but I still can't find anything for Yelp in the U.S. or otherwise
Does the Yelp iphone app let you leave your own reviews (like Qype does)? I had a quick look at the Yelp API but it looks like it's 'read-only'. I think that's half the fun being able to tell people when your restaurant food arrived cold!
James.
Never found one unfortunately. Not sure about the capabilities of the iPhone app, but I'd be happy to get read-only access still!
Yeah me too. Thanks for letting me know. Fingers crossed the big organisations start writing their apps for at least WP7.
I'll email the author of the winmo Qype app (Magic Guidebook) and see if he's willing to add in Yelp.
Awesome, let me know how it goes.
Coruscate Software is a new software development company. We have created an Android app that keeps track of your gas mileage data. It records and graphs various data related to your car such as the miles per gallon, the cost per gallon, or the cost per mile. The application is FREE on Google Play. You can find the application by entering in the search terms of "CSGasMileage" or "Coruscate Software". Being a new member of the community we cannot post a link directly there, so you will have to search for it. We would greatly appreciate it if you or anyone you know would test the application and let us know what you think!

I made a spreadsheet years ago that I still use for exactly this... I will probably check this out.
Linked to Play Store.
Testing this on a Motorola Photon 4G (actually the 3G equivalent, but I figure I'll call it by the more popular model's name).
I've been meaning to set this up in QuickOffice, but your app makes it look real easy to do. I use QuickOffice for exactly one other thing, and I've been meaning to make an Android app for it. (Just a redundant data entry task at work. Nothing I'd publish on Google Play. Wouldn't even share with coworkers -- I'm the only one with an Android phone.)
First thing I noticed... We need an option for 85 octane.
Thank you all for your feedback! We have added 85 octane as a selectable fuel grade. It will be available in the next release, which we plan to have out within a week. Also planned to make the next release is the ability to select a gas station via geo-location.
@Kevets: Thanks for posting the link!
Over the past couple months I've been working on an app that grabs your current location, then looks for reviews, deals, news, etc. for that location. I love the concept, but I think it's maybe a little incomplete.
I released it on the Google Play store to hopefully get a bearing on what user's are looking for, but though I might ask directly.
Currently, it shows:
- News, Reviews, Events, Basic Company Info, Coupons, Open/Close times
Called "Location Llama" on the play store.
Is there anything else that anyone would find useful about their current location? The only other thing I considered was a restaurant menu, but not sure if that would be entirely useful - as they are typically available at any restaurant when you walk in.
FYI: There's an app called Llama Location profiles on the play store - not the same thing! I didn't realize that until a few days after I uploaded it.
Check out the website I have been working on called d-apps.net (discount apps) which launched a while ago. The website offers discounts for Android, iOS and Windows.

Could you add a "Follow D-apps" button to allow user receive each new discount via Pushbullet?
@woomera Thanks for signing up. If you have ideas on how to make the newsletter more visible, or other ideas, let me know!
@M1ck Great idea to add Pushbullet support! I just added it to the website next to the twitter icon in the footer. Let me know what you think of it and whether it works ok.
More feedback is greatly appreciated (or just a thanks or it sucks ). And if anyone has more ideas for services we should implement (like rss, pushbullet, twitter, etc) let me know!

Its simple and efficient for now. More apps the better but other than that no need to clutter it IMO.
@woomera Thanks! Appreciate the compliment. I'm trying to get all the discounts available from all three platforms, everyday
More feedback is of course appreciated. And any tips on how to start promoting the website / attract more visitors?
Also, if you're a developer of an app (or apps) you can register for free and if your app(s) goes in discount the website will highlight it automatically.
Looking forward to more tips/feedback
More feedback is of course appreciated, anything is welcome Also, I'm quite curious if anyone is using the website or if not, why not. And do you think I should develop an Android app for the discounts as well?
Thanks!
An app version would be convenient. Maybe add a "search" button?
@pistacios The search function has been implemented And an app is coming soon
We just released a new design with new functionality to show the app discount love Check it out at d-apps.net and let me know what you think of it!
Some new functionality:
- Search!
- Follow an app if you don't want to buy it now so you will receive an email when the price changes
- Better overview of the apps
- Cool live animation to show how many apps are being checked
- And a bit earlier we also implemented Pushbullet support so you can receive direct push messages on your Android or iOS phone/tablet.
Looking forward to some feedback, thanks!
Some feedback is appreciated Negative or positive
An Android app is coming soon but to stay updated with the latest discounts you can subscribe to the Pushbullet, Twitter or subscribe for the newsletter.
Thanks!

As a developer I find it very weird that I need to register and pay to inform your site that my in app purchase is on sale.
I Can understand that you might want to ask a fee to put the app in a featured spot on your website, but I don't understand why it has to be this way just to get listed on the site. A Simple submit form would be easier. I Tried registering to add my apps discount that it currently has to your site, but I can not enter any information about the discount. My app is set so that it has a separate in app item for discounts compared to the regular item, this way I do not have to update the prices when the app is on sale. But I think it means that my app can not be listed on your site as being on sale?

Thanks for the feedback! The case you mention is an interesting one: not changing the price on the in-app product but adding a new in-app product for the discount.
Normally only changes in existing prices will be found and added to the website but in your case a form on the website would be the only way to submit your app since the system doesn't pick up the discount.
However, every app discount is added for free, only for being featured a developer can pay.
When you register and create an account (for free):
- The apps you add will be checked more often for discounts and if found added to the website
- The time between discounts before they get added to the website decreases from 4 weeks for unregistered devs to 3 weeks
When you use a credit for a discount (paid):
- The app will be featured on the website
- The app will always be shown no matter what filter a user chooses
- The time between discounts before they get added to the website decreases from 3 weeks for free registered devs to 1 week
But since you don't have a change in price but a new price for the discount I will try to implement a form where a developer can add information about the discount. However I do am curious what you saw that made you think you need to pay to be listed on the website so we can change that. Every app can be listed on the website Thanks for the feedback!
Or maybe you could fetch the price information from the in app purchases, I guess a developer would have to be able to select which in app purchases is replacing which in app purchase. The developer would also need to have to be able to specify the end date when the discount ends (and maybe even set a start date so you can schedule a discount in advance)
As far as why I thought I had to pay to list my apps on your site, I think I was just a bit to tired haha, it was late last night. I Was just a bit confused about that featured option, I thought it ment that to get listed on the front page of your website you needed to pay, but I now have seen that there is a separate featured list on the front page.
@Cubeactive We're working on implementing it like that, thanks for the feedback! I hope you did get some rest after all
Does anyone else have some feedback on the website and/or tips on how to improve it or be more useful to the end user? Thanks!
Nice to hear. Make sure to post an update here when it's done, I'll really want to take a look at it to see if it can be used in my situation.

All feedback is welcome! It has taken quite a while to be able to finish the app so we're really keen for any comments (really, any). Doesn't matter if it's a "Sucks" or "Muah", we'll read it
That includes you as well @Cubeactive
