Occupy Wall Street needs you help developing an app

Developers at XDA.
I’m sure many of you have heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Over the past week I’ve become involved and have determined that there is a need that could most efficiently be met through technology and since I know little of developing I’m looking for some assistance.
Here is the problem:
Protesters are not allowed to communicate with a PA system. This means that when we try to organize we need to scream everything out to each other and pass the message along. As you can image, in the game of telephone things get distorted and misunderstood. We need some way to relay messages to anyone who needs it quickly.
Solution:
I believe that an app would be the best way to facilitate this. While there could be updates online, that’s slow and requires people who want to post something online to go to the blog. It also means that we would have to constantly check. It also means that someone would have to type long messages in through a touch screen. Not efficient.
My Idea is for the app comes from seeing the app Coco voice for the iphone. It’s a service where you can speak into your phone and like a text message it sends that vocal message to said recipient. Now if you took that same kind of recording idea, and instead of sending it directly to a phone number, uploaded it to a main server and people subscribed to that specific “group” (or what have you) would receive a push notification about a new message. Then everyone would be able to get important information about what’s happening, what we’re doing. And especially where to avoid clashes with police. A text element for quick messages would also be great.
What’s in it for you:
1) You’d be helping a movement that hopefully you believe in.
2) The use of this application could go far beyond just this movement. It’s sort of vocal tweeting phone to phone. Subscribe to a group and be informed. People could record a cut of a song and send it directly or just say hello to all your loved ones at once while on vacation. This is a legitimate idea that has widespread application.
3) This will quickly become one of the more downloaded apps. There were 15-20,000 people at the NYC protest last night. The protests are also sprouting up in over 10 different cities across the US. Then there will be people that just want to know what happening. An immediate wide audience to launch the application and gain publicity.
4) You will get mad props
Is there anyone out there who is willing to put in some time in helping to develop an application to help facilitate communication among protesters? This would have to be a free app at least until the protests are over. Preferably it would be both iOs and android compatible. Please let me know so we can talk through some ideas, specifics, timelines, and what not.
Also let me know if you think this is possible or not. Or if you have any other good ideas. Let’s get this moving.
ps - let's try to keep this from getting political. We do not need to argue about the protest here. If you are interested great help out, if not then just move on to the next thread. Thanks in advance.

LoL. Really? What are you end goals? What do you want changed? Who makes the rules?

What about a tweeter like app? But instead of status updates in text they are mp3s or wav files

I think that would work as well. Definitely open to suggestions that might make this easier for developers. Ant interest?

I would love to talk to you about this, but this is not the right place for that discussion. Pm me if you actually have interest, I have real answers. I just know this forum was not made for this purpose so I won't do it here.

It would be very honorable for some Devs to spend a little bit of time on this. I could see this app on headlines. Would be a good way for some Dev to get exposure too.

I need a dev for a free app

I have developed a free PC app that is used for sending bulk SMS messages through Google Voice. A large amount of the people that use it have contacted me and asked for an Android version. My problem is that i don't know a single thing about developing for Android.
So, I am asking the community for help in developing this app. I wouldn't be able to pay mainly because the app will be free. However, if the dev would like, I would negotiate a 50/50ish agreement.
Please PM me if you are interested.

Still looking for a dev.

[APP][4.0+] CastChat Broadcast to other users in your area

Hello!
CastChat is an app that allows you to send "broadcasts" to other users in your area, with a range of up to 20km. These broadcasts will be sent directly to your phone, so there is no need to refresh/pull from a database each time you want to see if there are any new messages. You can then message users privately, if you wish. There is no need to make any accounts!
I think this app would be great for anything that would require you to get help/spread your thoughts to other people that you may not know, but you would like to be in your community. Whether that looking for classmates to study with, or just talking about something that is specific to your area (sports, hanging out, etc).
I just released my app last night and am lacking users. I would greatly appreciate it if you could try it out and give me feedback on what you think of it (designs, colors, features?)
I will be checking back here frequently, so feel free to leave a comment!!
Just search for "CastChat" in the Google Play Store
Thank you!

Requirement
I'm assuming the other person would require the app too right?

Hey, thanks for the question... you are correct. I don't think being able to send messages to everyone around you like that without their permission would be allowed.

I've gotten about 35 downloads, thank you everyone for trying!

Recently put out a new version which should help with some phones force closing the app on start!

[Q] Mod an APK

Here is what I want to do. I would like to mod the Netflix app to also have a Facebook login just like the web version. It sounds simple but I am sure it is much harder than I think it is. I tried myself but my knowledge is not sufficient to do so. Any help would be appreciated. When you login the regular way you don't see any friends recommendations and well I think it is something Netflix should consider doing. Any ideas?

It depends what the mobile client uses for authentication, if it's the same as the website then you can try adding it by decompiling the app and creating your own version of it. However it would be a bit of a challenge.
Before you start anything, just send them an email about it as well asking for it to be a feature.

I have decompiled the app but like I said Java is not my thing. If someone wants to take a look at it I will post it here. Looks like I got in way over my head on this one.

Watch the warez talk please. Thread cleaned of a couple posts concerning an app that hacks paid apps.
Thanks,

Help with developing and app

Hi guys I have a service where I provide info to some clients of mine for a small monthly fee. Currently I'm using whatsapp and Telegram groupchat as this isn't really professional I'm thinking about developing an app for this service. I haven't contacted any developer yet as I want to have an overlay of the functionality before contacting anyone.
So basically I want an app that my clients can install and register to, only registered clients can receive messages from with notification, notification should be customizable for example when the phone is on quit modus the notification should still make a sound if the user wishes and there should be a possibility to chose an other sound that the standard notification sound. Also all notifications/messages should get listed. Last but not least the messages should be send received instantly.
Is this explanation enough for a developer? What other info should I provide?

There's really no problem with that, but the biggest issue will be both Android and Ios Operating Systems...
Android isn't a problem at all, and you don't even need to pay the playstore for publishing it...
But for Ios is different, and Apple's app store has a really heavy eye on the apps..
The fact is that they are already full of messaging apps and i don't know if they want to allow others...
Of course i'm not saying they won't let you, i'm talking about a negative response...
Talking about windows phones, i don't know the politics behind their store, but i don't think it's a good idea.
However, the whole project is totally possible and you should't have many problems.

As for the info...we need to know if you want an Administrator dedicated app (that does not mean you can edit the whole app project, it means you can send notifications and announcements to all the people that have your app installed at once and others).
We need to know about the clients.
Do you want some other services (even if not yours) from open source projects?
About the messaging:
Do you want videos Being played in the app or in the gallery?
Wich files are you allowed to send?
Video-chatting or no?
Cloud services?
Customisable User interface or not?
Sorry for the long list (even though its much more longer than that) but these are the general things we need..

In the development of mobile applicationsare many nuances
you need to decide on the what platform you want to see an app Android or iOS
on what devices (Tablets or Phones only)
also you can see video youtube.com/watch?v=v1qAFUfC9ik
or read this theappsolutions.com/blog/development/outsourcing-app-dev/
Write me in Private messages if you'll have any questions !
have a nice day!

U need to contact with Anadea Inc - experts in a software development. The guys do projects in Ruby on Rails, Java, Scala, Mobile (iOS, Android) etc.
