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

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

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

I've used 2 apps for wishlist but no one of them has the online sharing :-/
Not sure about apps, but it's hard to beat Amazon's universal wish list
[Edit - Amazon's app supports wish lists. They're obviously also available to non-phone people via the web site]
Have been using this on my Kindle all weekend, it's awesome!

Hello, Can I contact you on Skype?
So I bought Nova Launcher on Google Play years ago and therefore it's not eligible for Family Library, but seeing it's on a massive sale today was thinking it would be nice to be able to buy it again and be able to add it to Family Library to share it with my kids. Don't really want to buy it through their accounts, haven't set up payment methods for them and not looking to do that yet.
Thank you for letting me know about the sale.
