Good day to you,


I am a local resident of Crystal Palace Road who has recently designed Bearingz an Android App, which helps you find things more easily than Google Maps.


What does it do?

-Finds your tent or friends at a festival

-Navigating anywhere on your bike or when walking (uses Google Places)

-Anytime you just need the general direction to travel

-Finding where you parked your car


I am looking for beta testers to try out the app and so am giving away free downloads to all residents of East Dulwich.


If you are interested in taking part, message me and I will send you a free download code.


You can download the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kadito.bearingz


Background


This idea came about when I had problems navigating around London on the Cycle Hire bikes. I found maps too complicated when all I needed to know was the general direction I needed to go. I then found that this approach worked really well in other situations like travelling on foot (e.g. when you just come out of a station) or you are out and about in the countryside.


This type of navigation requires a lot less brain power, as you just head in the general direction.


Many thanks,


Karim

Hi ED_moots,


Good question! With the Google Play store, you can only specify paid or free. Once you choose free there is no going back.


I've decided to monetise the download of the app in the short term, though it looks like this will change as I am currently working on a Bearingz Adventures concept which will best suit in-app purchases.


The first 'adventure' is actually going to be a Street Art Adventure around the Dulwich area. You won't know where you are going, you will just be directed and discover art by yourself.


The plan is to expand these adventures and walks around the UK.


Here are some design concepts:

    • Silly question, but would it not have been someone at  the school who marked the mock, and if so (rotten teaching notwithstanding) could they not say why she fell short? I hope you find someone who can help.

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
