Pretty darn convenient. Now with this map feature. Does it use your built in phone map or what? I'd say overall this app could blow up dude. I'd be using this all the time.
Just one more question. Now let's just say I knew of an event that wasn't even listed, is there a way to manually create one within the app and then use it in the app? Is EventZombie like a user submitted site or do venues themselves place these things on the site? Because if it is the former, then we could just make the event on there and go about our business. Oh and it is very straightforward but people are dumb and you need a detailed tutorial when the app starts, with the option to view it or start using the app immediately. Again...sick app!
Edit: More work for you. Just a thought for later development. When this app spreads like wildfire, you could possibly start doing skins or themes. I know for one thing, a Florida Gator theme/skin would make me  all day. Promise.  |
The map uses Google's map api. I opted to go that route for consistency between the website and app.
The app doesn't do custom events but it DOES let you put in custom LOCATIONS and even let's you save them for future use. EventZombie doesn't do user submitted events, it currently grabs all the events from a local source and directly from Facebook. I have been thinking about ways to add more events and I think you've pushed me over the edge to actually do something about it! Here is my first thought... any user can create or find a Facebook Event and submit THAT to the system and either tie it to a location or input a custom location for it. Would that work?
Great idea on the tutorial! I'll try to get something up before I release the public beta.
ANOTHER great idea on themes/skins! You're right, I can wait and do those later... BUT I need to go through the code and make sure it is "prepped" for when that feature is ready.
Once again, thanks a ton for the help!
