Hello people, i present you a new Augmented Reality App on the Android Market:
FriendsRadar is a mobile App with which you can find your friends* in the easiest way with the augmented reality view (AR). Think about that, how many times are you in a place trying to meet some friends but you can not locate them (Don't be afraid about localization, we considered your privacy concerns, therefore you can activate your GPS for few minutes then turn it off, you can select what friend can receive your position, etc., YOU have the control).
You also have the GoogleMaps view like GoogleLatitude to locate yourself and your friends, and a ListView where you can manage your 5 or 300 friends.
One click over the friends and you can chat with them, send them a SMS, EMAIL or call them too.
It works on all Android (1.6 Version and beyond) mobile devices that have an Internet connection and a GPS receiver.
*The App works at the moment with google accounts. In the future others will be supported, so rate it according to it, be fear please!
Do you have pics or a video of it in action? It sounds cool I'd just like to see how it works
How can I insert here a picture?
I think like because I'm a new user here i cant post outside links, so you can search for the FriendsRadar page on facebook, there are some pictures, or google it.

I want that App too, but stupid Microsoft made the Marketplace so that I get to a localized version (Dutch in my case). Almost no apps there...
Can you post the Glympse .cab somewhere?
Cheers,
CT
I too would like to try the glympse app. However, it's not available in the Netherlands. Could someone post a cab file? I found a link in another thread, but that has reached it's limit of 10. Thanks in advance!
Glympse website...
http://www.glympse.com/
Enjoy.
EDIT: No download link at their website, sorry
Explain to me how I can make a cab file with the Glympse application, and I'll make you one...
Hi,
No, we are not objective. No, we don't have the best UI, but our great engine just got much better, so why not try it?
The i-nigma barcode scanner for Android has a brand new engine under the hood, which is equal in performance to
its proven and acclaimed iPhone engine (also available for free in the App-Store). The new engine scans more
codes and does it faster. You can scan QR, Datamatrix, EAN and UPC in a flash and share the information with your
friends.
In order to get i-nigma on your Android just go to i-nigma dot mobi from your
mobile browser, or search for "i-nigma" in the Market. Alternatively if you already have a barcode scanner and want to try others, feel free to scan our avatar.
Cheers,
The i-nigma team
PS - You can also follow us on Facebook (search for "i-nigma"), where we post relevant i-nigma updates
Sorry, I won't try it unless the app ceases to access my contacts. A barcode reader should have nothing to do with contact data.

It does if you want it to share with your contacts, which this app does.

According to the permissions and Android Developers, this app can write to contacts, but not read contacts.

I don't mean to be rude but what exactly makes yours so good? I mean, Google Goggles can do all this and translate foreign languages. Can yours do that?

Was wondering this also. I think barcode scanners are great and useful; just wanna know what sets this apart? Thanks

Same here, apps should CALL INTO the Contacts to send the info. They can certainly do this, I've seen apps do it. It doesn't require them to have direct access to the contacts themselves, they're just passing in information to some other app.

If I even want that functionality. Regardless, it can be done different ways which doesn't require such permissions.
Contacts and what makes us special
First of all I'd like to address the more pressing matter - permissions.
i-nigma has no need to read a user's contacts but does need permission to write it (write, not overwrite, mind you). In case a code containing a VCARD is scanned we need the user's permission to add it to the contact list. This is the only use i-nigma makes of this permission.
There is currently a debate regarding the option to read a contact and share it by showing it on the screen as QR (much faster than sending a text message), but as you can imagine, while 50% would like to see this happen, the other 50% doesn't want the extra READ_CONTACTS permission there at all.
Now back to our boasting. Google does an amazing job at...well...almost everything it touches, there's no doubt about it. i-nigma's special weapon has always been its scanning engine. Actually i-nigma was the first one around and its engine now occupies more than 90% of Japanese-made phones (pre-installed-engine not as part of i-nigma). Most if not all readers do a very good job at reading clear codes from a flat surface, but the difference appears when scanning hard-to-scan codes.
No we don't translate foreign languages. For that google translate does the trick, or goggles if you insist, btu we take pride in having a version that behaves the same on most platforms. While this is an Android forum, many of our users started with Java devices and moved to Balckberry, iPhone, Android, Symbian or Windows-mobile. All of them were very happy to see i-nigma remains the same. If they are happy - so are we
Last but not least try emailing [email protected] if you have a question regarding the app, a request or an idea, and see what happens.
I hope this answers most of your questions.

I must say that I love this app. Works quick and the option to share or go online is awesome!
Please make the next version for us screens. Some of the images are in fuzzy quality atm.
If you need a dutch translation of the app just pm me.

I have a question: How can I make an app like those you can make with MakeMyApp by thirdlabs?
I want a panoramic app (you can choose this in Visual Studio 2010 for Windows Phone) and one page for every single thing. One page should access a Twitter Account, one should access a YouTube channel, one page for a Facebook account, one page for a Flickr account and one page for RSS News. And I want to have a Background picture in the app. How can I make such an app? Please help me I wanna learn how to program apps for WP7.
Sounds like you haven't done any development before. I don't know what MakeMyApp is, but if you're really interested in developing for Windows Phone, here are some places to check out.
This is the main developer hub. Register here, find educational resources, check on your apps ... Everything. http://create.msdn.com
These are the quickstart guides that got me through my very first app. You'll also want to check out msdn's Channel 9 for more education. http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/quickstarts
And get used to going here when you need to know how to use a certain method or class. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library
Good luck!
No, I haven't. I developed some apps for Android but I'm new to developing for Windows Phone 7
MakeMyApp is a place where you can make a WP7 app online and then use it on your phone for 72 hours through their own app. But their app doesn't work on Mango and the limitation to 72 hours is really annoying. You can check out their website here. It's very easy. All you have to do is upload a .png file for the tile, a bigger .png file for the background, give your App a name and then you can choose if you want to get news through RSS, videos from a certain YT channel, photos from Flickr or updates from FB and Twitter. And for all those things you can specify an "account" to get them from. E.g. you wanna have YT-Videos from the Annoying Orange you can choose YouTube, then type in YT-Acc or whatever and then you can type in realannoyingorange as YT-Username. And voilà, you've got an app with the YT vids from the realannoyingorange channel.
I just thought that that would be kinda easy to program...'Cause the only thing my app has to do is access a certain account from Twitter, FB, YT...
But thanks for those pages. I already know them and I have read a little bit, too. But it's a LOT to read

Hey, the app is just 7 days old and the Play store is a huge collection of apps, it is very difficult for a new app to become visible. Play is, maybe, the only store that does not have a "New apps" section, I think that Google has a reason for that
In version 1.05 you can let someone around you know that you like her/him at a touch of a button!
Hi, i can't find an app that is very useful, i forgot the name of app (it is instagram tool, kind of who viewed), it can:
- view date of registration instagram user (when that user register the ig account)
- view mutual sympathy
- subscribe the user
- add user to favorite
- view posts that the user likes (outgoing and incoming)
- view history activity
- get a place
- popular tags
the app icon is ALIEN HEAD (common alien head, only face), i forgot the name, but maybe it is "who viewed my profile", maybe.
i uninstalled it days ago, but i couldn't find it in my apps & games in playstore (i think maybe it is already not found?). this app is useful maybe to you too. someone please i would like to thanks much.
I only have its screenshot, here it is:

Actually i only search the app that i posted, but i'll try your recommendation. Btw, do you know how to find date of registration of instagram account? Because that app is able to do that.
