We are doing app ranking boosting service on the net. Contact us if you need. improveappranking.com
we are building a highly configurable business app to visualize key performance indicators out of external systems based on a REST architecture. Our biggest missing feature: support for test automation regarding the GUI. I would like to have continuous integration tests to assert the correctness of user actions and delivery of server data …
kind regards
I have build two.
Can you post links to them here? I’d like to see what you’ve done.
Here are the two I have built, they are real specific at what they do and who they are intended for. They are built for system admins and telecom engineers specifically fiber optic engineers. Updates are coming to them though I just finished creating a way better UI. But I these two apps have gotten me a lot of attention from some really big fiber optic organizations.

I am currently developing a price comparison app.
All the data is in XML only unfortunately, but the is a great XML decoder in the code Section by Horace. Thank you Horace for that.
The only niggles I seem to have are the following:
When you add more rows into a table, eg in my app I get 15 results at a time, the scrollBar does not update its position. I had to remove it. Every time you scroll to the bottom of the results tableview and press more it adds another set of results, but the scrollbar stays where it is. Meaning when you scroll up and down, the scroll bar will remain stuck at the bottom until you start showing the original 15 results.
Secondly, I’m finding the tableview performance on Android to be nowhere near the same as iOS. It’s very laggy as it lazy loads causing the scrolling to jump badly. Yet on even a iPhone 3GS it’s perfect.
Thirdly, having to code my own textfield implementation to get around the issue with native textfield font sizes. This was a huge pain!! As my native text fields are now off screen I had to make sure iOS didnt try and auto correct the words, add a blinking cursor and constrain the amount of text so it didn’t start overlapping buttons.
Here are a couple of images of the app. I searched for ‘lego’. Results are initially sorted by Relevance.
That looks nice, are you targeting a specific market or can you search for anything ?
I use to run a fair few price comparison sites in the UK, how are you handling keeping the XML upto date etc… ?
How many different affiliate networks are you dealing with ?
If more than one, how are you finding the different XML results they all supply ?

I’ve just finished an app for schools which enables the parents to keep track of the events going on there and receive updates as new events are created (plus notifications, contact details etc).
It is in Norwegian, but don’t let that put you off (it has language files, but there’s currently no need to enable it).
All the data is streamed in upon request, although images use my caching system. (we also have notifications for them to download weekly, as that is how often new info will be added).
The app uses my own widget code for everything written from scratch except for the spinny loading thingy, due to numerous bugs and shortcomings. I am considering organising the code and releasing it free or dirt cheap (I’ve published a few bits of code in the widgets sub-forum).

I am wondering on requirements about the app?
Hey guys,
I am proud to announce my first ever app. I know it has a load of terrible reviews but most of them are for version one, which was produced by a cheap 3rd party, thus why we built our own.

But we got 4 and 5 stars for the first time 
My only complaint really is text input, I would have liked to have them all as native text boxes rather than using an overlay. I loved how easy the gps functions were to use, and we have set the app up so that we can skin it and brand it for our clients with a few config line changes and some more images in the right folder.
I have just released Bargain Hunter on Google Play and Amazon (other stores to follow pending review). It’s a price comparison app that allows you to find the best deals for millions of products in thousands of stores. It’s available in 12 countries in 10 languages.
It would be great to get some feedback so that I can improve the app.
Hi,
I asked these questions about your other app but will related to this one as well -
That looks nice, are you targeting a specific market or can you search for anything ?
I use to run a fair few price comparison sites in the UK, how are you handling keeping the XML upto date etc… ?
How many different affiliate networks are you dealing with ?
If more than one, how are you finding the different XML results they all supply ?
