[Q] Where can I go to give Android devs ideas for new apps? - General Questions and Answers

What website can I do app requests at?
Since I'm here, I'll list my idea here too:
I am always skeptical that when I pay for an item at the register, it may not be the price I saw it on the shelf.
I have a desire for a shopping cart app that will use the camera to scan the UPC, and allow me to type in the price - adding it to a list that shows my total expenditure for that shopping session.
Furthermore, I would like the app to remember the UPC and the price, so that next time I can reference what prices I bought that item at in the past. ....If getting ambitious, maybe it could even use keywords to reference other similar items bought (eg: When scanning white bread, the app will show historical pricing data for both that product, and wheat bread)
Ideally, it would hook into "Redlaser" or use OCR of the pricetag or something to get the name of the item, and possibly the price, to make input easy. It might even use GPS to know you are at walmart so that you can compare this walmart session with sessions you had at your supermarket.
Also, ideally, you could type in the units of the item (30 grams, for example) and the app would tell you the units/price ratio for future price comparison across multiple brands. Like this: http://imgur.com/lgDWkI8
If SUPER AMBITIOUS, you could start creating a database, similar to GasBuddy, and show historical pricing for all users nearby with timestamps (xxDogloverxx bought White Bread on Aug1st2012 at $3 at this Walmart. Tap here to see a price graph. Blue line shows this store, white line shows local average for this product. green line shows local average for this product category)​
TLDR: Need a shopping CART app, would be nice if it showed historical data.
Whats the best avenue to request this be developed?

[APP][DEV] [REQUEST] - receipt scanner enhanced

Hi,
here is the app i'm looking for. I need a application in order to scan a receipt with my nexus camera, and get these informations :
restaurant name(shop name)
date
total amount without vat
total vat amount or vat% or total amount vat included
In order to get info, i'd like the app to have at least 4 fields that i can move on the picture to select the different items needed.
After an ocr, selected zones (name, date and amounts) should be kept in a XLS compatible format file(.csv for example)
It would also be a great feature to keep the disposition of the different fields under a scheme name, in order to select it directly and apply the ocr scan directly without positioning field. This feature is very useful if you're going every day at the same restaurant.
Well if someone like to do this, i'd like to be the main tester of this app, and we can even manage to put it on the market as i'm a freelance and have my own declared company.

Any Web based inventory tracking software?

Hi,
So I started working as an intern and am asked to come up with an inventory system that is accessible online. We have a project we are working on and are constantly receiving shipments at our warehouse in Chicago. I am looking for some sort of a tagging software that is accessible from desktop, iPhone and Android smartphones. Along with that, it should have an inventory system, which can create a barcode or QR code for each item number we place in there. It should be available on all our employee's smartphones and computers. We can assign permission who can add/remove/edit each item. For example
We have an Oil pump. Our part number for the oil pump is P-355.
The app should be able to make a bar-code for "P-355". It should also allow us to add a description in the database along with quantity.
anyone have any idea of such software or app, I would greatly Appreciate it!!!

App to manage a boat rental service

Hello,
is there an app out there where I could enter how many boats and boattypes I have?
Then if they are rented they are marked as "in use" and a countdowns starts showing when its supposed to be back.
Maybe even manage some preordered events so it could tell me how much I can rent out to still have enough for the group that is coming in a few hours, If all are back in time.
So I have an overview of whats in used and when its supposed to be back.
If you also need a portal for your potential users to view boat available and to place renting orders, in fact, you need not just an app for you to manage rental service, you should have someone help you to develop a server side application, too.
Nope doesn't need to be that big, just for the single employee to make timemanagement of a small fleet of maybe 25 more easy during his/her shift. Nothing connected, just a local simple thing. No cost calculations, no automated bookings. Just tapping what goes out for how long and seeing when its supposed to be back.

[APP] Dealert - Add products you want and it will alert you of any related deals.

Hello! I really wanted to learn Kotlin/Android so I decided to port one of my old apps from the webOS days called Dealert. What Dealert does is allow you to add products you’re interested (via keywords) and Dealert will run periodically to find any related deals and immediately alert you so you can snag the price drops before anyone else can.
Play Store Link – Dealert
I don’t want to overestimate your potential savings you can achieve with Dealert, but I have personally saved > $500 on products I was interested during the development (~1 month so far). My favorite way to use Dealert is to add products I wouldn’t spend full price on, but if there is a good deal on them, I’ll pick it up.
You can also use Dealert to simply browse the latest deals across the following sites:
It currently supports the following deal sites:
Slickdeals
Techbargains
Dealnews
BensBargains
DealsPlus
eDealInfo
Newegg
Fabulessly Frugal
The free version allows you to track up to 3 products at a time, while PRO gives you unlimited tracking capability. PRO is 25% off for the first week of Dealert being in the store.
I would love to hear your feedback on the app, the design/UX, and any improvements/suggestions you may have on making it even better! Thank you! =D
