Some users have reported seeing only 'flags' instead of logos. This gets fixed by reseting the app data. You can do it via Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->You Are here->Clear data (some phone may call it clear cache or something similar)

 

[wubbzy]

minor fix, up'd the version to 1.0.4 due to minor gps issue.

 

[wubbzy]

Thanks for sharing this app. I have used yellowpage and yelp apps before for searching for places to go. Let me tell you, after 2 days of using this I don't have to touch those apps any more. Your layout on the map is so intuitive. The automatic searching on the web when clicking on each icon is so useful for local places. Now I can do my golf game and find places to eat afterward all in one app. Fantastic.

Looks promising. Freezes on GB2.3.5 on my Galaxy Player 5.0 when zooming or scrolling outside the 2 or 3 mile "zone". Tried zooming out to approx. "city" view, and searched for golf courses and returned nothing. Google Places seems to find more, but this app is more fun and easier to use. Sometimes when I open the app, it takes almost a minute for logos to pop onto the screen.

afd,

I am glad you like this. Please do post if you find any issue. We will be glad to address.

tcat007,

we don't have galaxy 5.0 to test with in out mix. When you zoom out very far, is it just slow or completely froze ? You phone is much more powerful than any of the phone we are testing so, it should be able to handle large set of icons. When it is operating slowly are you using 3g/4g or are you on Wifi ?

wubbzy,

I was at Safeway today and saw a $25 giveaway sign at the Pharmacy and thought about your Tag coupon. Pull out the camera and snap and posted the deal. This is amazing.

[tcat007]

It's actually more when I scroll than zoom. If I zoom out a little, then scroll to find places maybe 50 miles away, it just seems to freeze. If I then try to scroll (swipe), the map doesn't move, but the address bar on top changes (new city and zip, not in the area of the map). Zoom buttons quit working, and there are no icons on the map. If I quit (back button), kill app, and restart all is well.

Also if I have the whole city of Austin on the screen (lots of icons and flags), and I search golf courses, I get "you're in a black hole"... no golf courses in the "list" either.

tcat007,

Thanks for more detail. When you had this problem were you on wifi or cell network ? We might have a beta version ready this weekend for testing that might correct the freeze/slow load issues. Would you like to help to test this ?

For the golf courses, we are checking with the data provider to see why we are missing so many in your areas.

It's a Galaxy Player 5.0... wifi only. Happy to test a beta.

Hi Tcat007,

Our data provider told us they just pushed a load of golf data today. Hopefully Austin will start to show up soon. You might have to remove cached data to see them.

I will let you know about beta later today or tomorrow.

nice job on the golf courses.

I just posted a Baskin Robbins coupon

 

[tcat007]

Yes! There were none by my house, now there are 5. Still freezes if I scroll very far, but seems ok if I zoom out then back in. The attached coupons/deals are a nice feature. Seems to link well to maps and nav.

 

[wubbzy]

Latest beta is out for testing. Check it out. See main thread for features added. If you have feedback please post here.

Thanks

Tcat007,

Can you test out this beta with your galaxy player 5.0 please ?

thanks,

wubbzy

 

[wubbzy]

improvements
- more lean, less more and better performance [directly translates to more battery saving]
- filter the clutter to wade thru the hay stack - watch it as it dynamically removes stuff you don't need from map and list

 

[wubbzy]

please do update to v1.6.1 as it fixes the recently reported crash issue.

 

[afdomamay]

Just updated 1.6.1 today. Filter on map and category list woks really well.

thanks

 

[wubbzy]

some kind soul posted that filter is not working on HTC thunderbolt, I'm unable to reproduce the problem.

If anyone out there has same problem, can you please (pretty please) let me know the steps to reproduce it?
