Hey all
This is an app I've been working on while I've been travelling a little, actually working out of coffee shops. I found there wasn't really a good resource to easily find places nearby that have good wifi, power outlets AND good coffee, only bloggers "top 10 coffee shops to work from in.." type posts so I built an app for that!
It's super simple, it takes your location & displays the best places near you as recommended by other users (including myself). You can filter by places that have wifi, power outlets, how many people it seats etc.. As mentioned the content is all user generated & you can vote places up or down using the rating system in the app, so if someone submits a crap listing you'll know
Right now there's a ton of places for London, New York, San Fran, Mexico City, Bali, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Toronto, Montreal & a few others, with 1 or 2 in other places like Norway for example..
So yeah.. if you ever happen to find yourself needing a coffee shop or cafe to work from for a bit (or just somewhere with decent wifi) maybe you wanna give this a go
As always, any issues/bugs/feature requests - let me know

Traveling to Europe (Greece and Italy) in a couple weeks, and looking for the best travel apps for my G2x. Any suggestions for guides, audio tours, restaurant reviews, general travel, etc? Also trying to find a gps/map that can download info in advance, since I'm not planning on having a data connection.
Thanks!

I've had a look at most of the free city guides and they are generally pretty average, large 200meg downloads, bad maps and lots of bloat. However i am sure there are some gems out there. However since you are not going to have data some of these guides, (pocket , mtravel etc could be usefull)
As a previous poster mentioned trip advisor is the king of the hill for places to visit etc. An up and comer is stay.com which lets you create a customised guide and download it to your phone including an offline map.
If you decide to get a country specific sim for data vi highly recomend Öffi - Public Transport Buddy for public transport around europe
and kayak or tripit to manage your iteniery
Haha - this thread got bumped from several months ago, I've already done my trip (it was amazing) and ended up being very surprised by the availability of free wifi. Didn't end up needing any apps really, although there was one that had the marine forecast for the Mediterranean which was helpful since we were sailing.

Lookup: Hotel Search & Compare
Hello everyone,
I just released a new android app for searching and comparing hotels around the world
Google Play Link (Free Download):
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.lookupmobile
Description:
This app is an alternative to apps like Booking.com and Hotels.com (which are still great), where they sometimes try to show you hotels that are most profitable for them BEFORE showing you hotels that might be the best for you .
They also do not show the map locations of the hotels when they present them as a listview, which makes it harder to compare the hotels' locations.
With lookup you can quickly see all the nearby hotels on the map along with their prices, without making any clicks or doing anything.
*** ANY FEEDBACK IS WELCOME!! ***
Main Features
Quicky see all the hotels nearby
Over 300,000 hotels around the world
Click on a hotel to see the most important pros and cons of the hotel, eg: AC, WiFi, Bathroom etc.
No Ads or popups
Click on the hotel description to see even more info about the hotel, its address, checkin& checkout, amenities and a map of the hotel location.
Click on 'similar' tab to see similar hotels nearby, in the same price range
Zoom out to see even more hotels and the prices ranges
Drag the map to browse hotels in other cities
Search (using google autocomplete api) a place anywhere on earth
Select the type of hotels you are looking for - shared rooms (cheapest) , cheap private room and vacation/business (best value, more expensive hotels)
