Productivity/Tools: aList Description: aList is a list making application for the compulsive list maker. Add lists and list items using the voice recognizer. Import ready-made lists and saved list, export and share lists. Set reminders for lists and/or items in your calendar. Keep lists in the archive and quickly use old lists and list items. By: Weathertop Consulting, LLC Feedback: Of course, I would love the chance to fix a couple of little annoying bugs I've found since I submitted the app if I happen to make it into the top 200. I developed iMap Weather which was a top-50 winner in ADC1. I spend a lot of time working on and promoting that app with my partners Weather Decision Technologies, Inc. I also have a regular full time job, so aList is really job 3. I plan to release aList (with all known stupid and annoying bugs fixed) on the Market and charge a couple of bucks for it when the contest is over.
For aList I spent a lot of time getting the interaction with the list items to work exactly like I wanted. I wanted you to be able to tap the list item instead of checking the little tiny check box and I wanted some visual cues to the status of the list item. In the end I was able to do everything I wanted with a couple of custom adapters, but it took me longer than I wanted to figure it all out. There are a number of features that are in the skeleton of the app that I did not have time to expose before the contest deadline, but I cut off the features and spent most of the last week testing. I found and fixed a bunch of bugs and really polished up a lot of the details of the user experience in that last week. I also went through a last second name change when I found Mr. Lister on the Market. I was calling my app Lister for most of it's life. I started working on aList at the end of June. I spent the first three weeks of June working on an app to control the phone via voice commands, but I completely abandoned that idea. I started thinking about ADC 2 as soon as ADC 1 finished, but only really got motivated after the announcement at Google I/O.
