Warmshowers iPhone app now available!

I'm heading out on tour in a few days, but plan to work on the next version of the app when I get back. I aim to get a new version out by mid to late summer. I won't be making an Android version, but that shouldn't stop anyone else from volunteering. :)

If you'd like to follow my tour, you can do so here: http://trackmytour.com/1918. Cheers!

Hope an app for the android will come next!

Is there an Android app for warm showers?

this is really nicely done and I have no doubt that on my trip in Belgium (starting next week) it will be invaluable!!!

One suggestion for a future upgrade - the opening map is always my home (Colorado, USA) and I have to make things smaller and then move to someplace else if I am looking for a place in Europe or elsewhere. Is there a way you could have the opening screen allow the user to search for cities/regions - like on the Warmshowers website. Or another option would be to have a setting that used either your home or your current location (actually it may already open on my current location but since I haven't left home I don't know for sure).

I think someone already mentioned that having it go straight to the profile of the host as opposed to the contact page them and then view their profile wuld be nice.

Again, this app is really well done! Thanks for your hard work on this!!!!

Peace,
Steve

Wow what a fantastic app - I'm about to embark on a tour from Scotland to Australia (having never gone bicycle touring before) and this will be incredibly useful. The only thing I would ask for is to have the Google maps distance scale turned on when browsing the map.

Hi,

nice app. Thanks a lot.

I'd like to have a menu item to view the user page; currently you have to go via "contact user" and then click on the name of the user.
It would also be nice if a widget with the user information would be available - in contrast to opening a web browser for that.

Thanks for all the comments. I just submitted v1.1 to the app store, which should run on iPhone OS v3.1.2. It may take a few days before it gets approved by Apple.

ColeP: I'm not sure what you're trying to say. What can't you see? The app is free to download and use.

So how do you upgrade to 3.1.3 ?

Whew! As in it is totally free? I hope this won’t be quite a few of the biggest financial mistakes that you will do. I mean, we’re on recessions hard hit and opening your eyes to reality, nothing is free nowadays. People are not that fool enough to believe what they can’t see.

Why would this REQUIRE 3.1.3? The only upgrade from 3.1.2 is locking out a method of jailbraking. It also reduces battery life in nearly every version of the iPhone.

Congratulations on the fine work. Hoping this will help those who use an iphone in their travels this year.
