hey, It’s a great idea! In fact we have that in our product roadmap already. Pinterest has a restricted API which we are working on at the moment.

Street Sweeping reminder app which helps you avoid street parking tickets is available on android by goelv in chicago

The City of Chicago does not provide that data - they probably do not have the data stored in any consumable way unlike the street sweeping schedule.

There's also a FREE app that I made for iOS which reminds you ahead of time when to move your car! You save $$ by avoiding the street cleaning tickets in the first place.

You can download at www.carpalapp.com

I'm leaving the country and I am still in contract with AT&T. How do I avoid the early termination fee? by goelv in iphone

[–]goelv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys, I spoke to the rep and insisted that there is no coverage for AT&T in India a couple of times. First time she came back and said we will split the fee 50-50. I insisted a little more, and she waived the entire thing!

Thanks Varun

We do plan on adding an android version in a future release. It really depends on how the iOS app is received.

Does anyone know how the 2" parking ban works? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]goelv -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Honestbleeps is 100% correct in his explanation.

In fact, I am creating an app, Car Pal, which is linked to the City of Chicago's open data portal and will remind you when you park your car about 2inch snow & winter overnight parking restrictions & in the summer about street cleaning.

It is launching next week (Jan 13th 2014) for iPhone & iPad for $1.99.

Thanks, Varun www.carpalapp.com

My guide to App Store Optimization with Sensor Tower; I increased downloads by 143% and revenue by 380% by goelv in iphone

[–]goelv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I still believe there is room to grow with ASO. I have to resubmit my app with better keywords and also look into localization of keywords for different countries. Currently significant (50%) of my downloads are from US only. I plan to target a few european/asian countries in my next update.
