Hi Guys,

Just to keep you updated about the Ski & Snowboard Guide to Bulgaria mobile application.

Thanks for all the positive feedback so far and we will be updating the app later this week as well as starting to promote the "check-ins" for the listings for money saving in resort!

This is, and will continue to be a work in progress for the foreseeable future so any requests are gladly received. Especially if you have any novel ideas for it's use in the summer months. We will reveal all shortly!

All the best and enjoy the AWESOME snow!

Great... I'm too poor to own one so not seen it on that yet. Do you mind me asking how it looks/feels?!

Thanks

Got it running on iPhone 3GS and iPad2. Lots of info!

I find it much easier to use on the iPad as things seems a little small on the iPhone screen. For example the lift maps page just shows some thumb nails of the maps and it's very hard to see which map is which. Once you have one up you can then scroll between them.

It's also taken a me a little while to sus the navigation. It's more function based than location based.

Also, are you likely to put snow and lift status on the app?

Hope that does not sound too negative - it's not meant to! It's great to have the resources to hand on the phone so many thanks for the work done so far.

Hi Jez

Thanks for the feedback and no worries. If this is going to be useful to people we must get all side of the story... not just the happy ending!

1. Lift maps - Will be updated ASAP and will be "zoomable"so they are of use on smaller screens
2. Snow reports - built in - we are working on it. For now, we just have the RSS feeds.
3. Lift ststus - Good one! I like that! Where can you see this information at present? If you can send me a link I will see if we can include.

4. Location based - Comes in when you are actually in resorts (don't know where you are right now?!). This will also work with the augmented reality view we are working on too. So locations will "float" on your camera screen when pointed in relevant direction.


No! Thank you for the feedback! We cant make it better without it!

Thanks again.

Simon
