Hi all, I just finished developing my app.
Can I have a little help here for testing??

It's a very simple one though, it's searching for doctor in America, so you type the keyword(name or specialty) and your city, and it will return doctors in that area.
You also can view, and directly call the doctor.

here's the installer's link:

Thanks for all of you, the feedbacks (suggestion or critics) are very welcomed here..

Hi,

Worked OK on my ZTE.. Nice and simple app.. Not that it would be any use as I live in the UK

Thanks..
Yeah, unfortunately. The data is only limited in US Area..
It's still very simple, I plan to add some feature for further development though.

Not sure if the data is available for GPs in the UK, but an idea though.. Happy to test if you add features or fixes, just give me a ping..

First off, great idea for an app!
Works well,UI is simple and to the point, which is a good thing, IMO.
However, the database you are using is a bit outdated,at least for the area i was checking.
I work @ a doctors office, so i just randomly checked a few of our doctors. The first 2 i checked, the app found,no problem-both docs have been w/ the clinic for 10+ years. Next I checked a doc who used to be w/ us, but has been gone for a year or so (is now practicing in another state) and he showed up as still being w/ us. Next, searched for 2 docs who have been w/ us for 1-2 years- neither of them showed up at all. Thats as far as I went, since I wasn't sure if this is the kind of feedback you were looking for or not. If it's not, i apologize-i do know,however,it is very frustrating to have people calling the office wanting to make appointments with docs who aren't there anymore! ("but the phonebook/webpage/app *said* they were there,you must be lying/stupid/new/incompetant" etc.)

From a technical standpoint tho,everything seems to be working great.
It would be very helpful to not have to type in the full name of the doctor,tho. ("metz" instead of Metzger,for example) Alot of docs (especially specialists) have foreign names,or just difficult to spell names,and having to have an exact and/or complete match will seriously limit the apps useability,IMO.

Again, sorry if that wasn't the feedback you were looking for-i've never done this before. Feel free to let me know how i can be of more/better assistance-i do think this is a great idea for an app!

Edit: Tested 2 more docs,one who left the office over 6 years ago,and one who had passed away in 2004-both where still showing up as practicing at our office.

Edit: it would be absolutely fantastic if you could find a way to make it include physicians assistants aka PA's in the search! I cannot tell you how hard it is to find any info on PA's online,and (at least here where i'm from) they function alot like regular docs.
