Need Testers for Android Software

**Wyzcrak** · 03-10-2010, 02:15 AM

I've written a humble Android application that I'd like tested by friends. It requires geolocation and internet access. Please PM me if you have an Android (1.5+) handset and are willing and able to give me 15 minutes of your time. Many thanks.

Thats fits the bill for me....what does the app do?

Have you put it on the Android Market? I'll try it out for ya.

Count me in. Finally got a Droid, so still having a lot of fun playing around with stuff.

I forgot to ever come back to this thread and announce the software's release. It's called Heavens Above Me.

It's a very simple application. It simply routes your handset's mobile browser to heavens-above.com, passing your geolocation. The result is a website which gives you information about spotting night objects given your physical location. It costs a buck, it's for a niche audience, and I hope people enjoy it and that it helps them share the night sky with family and friends.

Many thanks to those of you who helped me test it when I was first writing it. That feedback really helped a lot.

That awesome! I discovered the heavens above site a few months back and once I get an EVO this will be way better than having to print out visible pass logs.

Have you considered putting a barcode on the HA website to make it easy for scanner users to find your app in the marketplace? I've found a couple websites with barcode generators and I'm considering using a barcode on the next pass of my business card to make it easy for smart phone users to read my card into their contacts database.

They are called QR codes. I use this site and it couldn't be any easier. http://qrcode.kaywa.com/

Here is an example to direct you to TacticalGamer.com

I don't have access to the HA website to put the QR code there. That's a stellar idea, though.

You might as well see if they want to partner with you since you are driving traffic to their site.

I just sent him an email, on the off chance he reads it. I sent him an email a couple of years ago, offering to create a Windows Mobile app for his site, but I never got a response.
