app/service feedback

[doggface]

I posted some of the things I have created in the past and have gotten some good feedback so I figured why not try it again.

I created a location base social network that is trying to be to foursquare what twitter is to facebook.

I am looking for people to use the apps/service and give me feedback and suggestions for improvements.

There is currently a Android and Windows Phone app.

The app can be downloaded from http://spluter.com

Thanks in advance!

I'll check it out. What IDE did you use for development?

How is this different than Google+? You can find nearby places, events, women, etc with that.

I used eclipse for development for the android app and visual studio 2012 for the windows phone app.

This is strictly a social check-in service more like foursquare/google latitude. And google is going to be killing off latitude soon so the google+ location sharing features will be going away.

That will leave only foursquare and to a lesser extent facebook in that space.

What is different between my service and those is that I have a real-time location sharing feature. So if a user enables the location service his friends will be able to see their current location.

But you are right, it's a social network nothing that hasn't been done before. That is one of the reasons I posted. I believe I have a good foundation for something here so I am just look for way to improve it.

The app looks nice from the website. I was hella tired last night and didn't realize there is no iOS version. I have an iPhone. Why did you choose no iPhone on the initial launch?

The primary reason is cost. iOS development has a high cost of entry if you don't have a Mac or a iPhone.

The second is that I don't know objective C, but I did pick up a mac mini recently so it might be one at some point.
