I'd like to also reiterate that the ability to submit entries and photos will come in Version 2.0. We still have a lot of nerdy server work to do to support this, so hang tight!!

Also thanks to all of our Beta Testers! Your feedback was invaluable!

Awesome! Thanks for all the work to keep your site running and this big addition!

Russell, I just downloaded the app to my Galaxy S5. It works great. Thanks for all the "nerdy server work".

Russell,
Just a little curious. When the app first loads, it automatically locates me and I can see all the locations around my area. When I go to search, I type in, lets say HEB, and it filters only that store. However, when I click the <-- arrow, or the "X", or hit the back button on my phone, it clears the search bar from the screen but does not un-filter the search results. All I see are HEB locations. I have to go through settings and hit "Refresh Data" to get all the locations back up.

Is this intended or is it suppose to un-filter the search results? Looks like data refresh is somewhat equivalent to closing the app and re-opening it so it would utilize the battery more by grabbing a fresh location.

Also, any idea on how the app effects battery life in regards to proximity notifications being turned on?

A feature you can do:

*** Send a pre-set email to the business stating, I, ....., was trying to do business with .... I saw your 30.06 and/or 30.07 and I had to leave.... I may not come back due to the fact I am not welcomed unless I disarm....

1) Pro: Businesses would know that they are losing customers
2) Con: This option can be abused.

Another con I see is the challenge of obtaining the email addresses for the email. How do you recommend doing that?

I'm on a Galaxy S4 GPE with the latest version of the app (1.0). This isn't a bug so much as a usability issue...

I live in Plano. When I first open the app, it's zoomed in to my location and displays about 10 pins. If I do a search (eg. for "central"), the map zooms out to cover about half of the metro area. Initially, it shows all the pins in that area; then it slowly removes those that don't match my search. This bugs me for two reasons. First, it zooms out without me telling it to. Second, it creates a performance issue because it takes so long to display all the pins, then even longer to remove the one that don't match my search.

I was also seeing an issue where the app would still create notifications even after I turned that setting off. That was with the beta 3; I'll see if still happens now that I've upgraded to 1.0.

Overall, though, this is a great app! I love the ability to view and search directly on the map.

is there an apple version in the works as well?

Looks great installed on my Galaxy S6.

Website of the business, if any, should have contact me.

Yes, check our website for the link.

Thanks for the feedback all!

Great! Just downloaded, thanks for putting this app together. Quite a handy tool

The beta worked great for me. Though I hated getting all the dinging notifications of posted places as I drove by.
