Re: Around me

I used Around Me recently. It worked, but it sure didn't find much in the area 
where I was. I don't recall if it has recently been updated. I used the whereto 
app with much better luck.

Re: around me on Ipod Touch

2012-10-21 Thread Rob Harris
A comment:  the global button allows you to look at anywhere.  So if you 
know where you are, you can go there and enter it, and you will get all the 
blurb without use of GPS;   this I think is where it would be good enough on 
the iTouch,  or the other devices without the GPS chip.
I've looked around Australian and US cities as well as the more local UK 
ones;  and it keeps a history of your efforts so you can go back to them.

Evening list members, just discovered a very interesting little app
called around me. This app is great for simply exploring your
surroundings, it seems to be very accessible with voice over. thus,
far I would probably give it a 4.5 out of 5 in the accessibility
score. I do not know if this works outside the United states and
Canada, but my first guess is that it probably will work in Europe.
It will be the first selection when doing  a search in the app store.
The app is free if you want to block the advertising the price is
$2.99 best of wishes.

Thanks for the suggestion; however, I understand All Menus is not as easy to 
use and I'm not looking to install yet another app if the same functionality

 Hi,
 
 Last summer I used AroundMe to book a hotel reservation while we were
 driving, and it worked beautifully. We got one of the last rooms in town,
 as
 it turned out. So yes, it's a wonderful app.

 Evening list members, just discovered a very interesting little app
 called around me. This app is great for simply exploring your
 surroundings, it seems to be very accessible with voice over. thus,
 far I would probably give it a 4.5 out of 5 in the accessibility
 score. I do not know if this works outside the United states and
 Canada, but my first guess is that it probably will work in Europe.
 It will be the first selection when doing  a search in the app store.
 The app is free if you want to block the advertising the price is
 $2.99 best of wishes.

2012-10-19 Thread Hope Paulos
There is an app called Restaurant that lists all of the major restaurant
chains and their menus. I actually believe it's called restaurant and
nutrition. This is accessible and I love it!

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion; however, I understand All Menus is not as easy to
use and I'm not looking to install yet another app if the same functionality
exists in Whereto. And Whereto apparently contains twice the number of menu
options as does All Menus.

 Hi,
 I use Yelp and AroundMe fairly often, and foursquare's cool too.
 
 Going off on a tangent for a second, a lot of times when I'm out and 
 about or visiting at friends' places I like to look for various 
 restaurants and such, so it would be good if  I could find a reliable 
 app for obtaining restaurant menus.  Unfortunately the MenuPages app is
kind of a pain to use.

It is a very good app. What I like about it is when you find what you are 
looking for, you tap on details and you can use whatever navigation app to 
get there.

Evening list members, just discovered a very interesting little app called
around me. This app is great for simply exploring your surroundings, it
seems to be very accessible with voice over. thus, far I would probably 
give

it a 4.5 out of 5 in the accessibility score. I do not know if this works
outside the United states and Canada, but my first guess is that it 
probably

will work in Europe.
It will be the first selection when doing  a search in the app store. The
app is free if you want to block the advertising the price is $2.99 best 
of

wishes.

Re: Around Me

2012-10-18 Thread Tom Lange

Hi,
I use Yelp and AroundMe fairly often, and foursquare's cool too.

Going off on a tangent for a second, a lot of times when I'm out and about 
or visiting at friends' places I like to look for various restaurants and 
such, so it would be good if  I could find a reliable app for obtaining 
restaurant menus.  Unfortunately the MenuPages app is kind of a pain to use.

Yes they are similar. Yelp is interfaced with Siri and currently has a few 
more features. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't work all over the world. Yelp 
currently works in the US and Canada. Around Me and Where To both work all 
over.

Hi,

Last summer I used AroundMe to book a hotel reservation while we were
driving, and it worked beautifully. We got one of the last rooms in town, 
as

it turned out. So yes, it's a wonderful app.

Best,

Where To and Around Me was Re: Around Me

2012-10-17 Thread David Chittenden
Yes, Around Me works in New Zealand and Australia as well.

Another similar app to consider is Where To. Where To accesses bus stop 
locations in cities that support it, such as Wellington, NZ. Also, Where To has 
a nifty feature that gives the direction and distance to the POI you selected. 
This information is updated as one travels toward the PI.
I use both apps.

Re: What do you put in the around me edit of ariadne?

2012-09-22 Thread Anne Günther

Hi Eric
The feature in ariadne isn't for getting points of interest near your 
place. You can't get those with it at all. When you put an adress in 
there the map will open with that point in the middle. '

Hi all,  I'm just listening to informational stuff from the ariadne
website, but just in case I can't find it in time for my 11:00 client...

In the lookaround feature, there's an edit box that wants information.
  What information does this box want?  I tried putting in a category
such as restaurants, but it didn't work.  I also tried to put in a
distance but that didn't work either.  Both things returned thousands of
results from places that were nowhere near me.

What needs to go in here to get relevant nearby places and such?

Thanks,
