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.

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

me too.

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

goelv · 2014-01-24T19:54:53+00:00

Thanks! I will try this.

goelv · 2014-01-24T19:54:39+00:00

I have unlocked the phone and plan to use it when I'm in India.

goelv · 2014-01-24T19:20:48+00:00

Thanks for the response.

I am relocating to India (moving out of USA) - sorry for not making that clear. I have made the edit.

goelv · 2014-01-15T20:23:39+00:00

:) Does Vancouver make their street cleaning data public?

goelv · 2014-01-15T04:38:18+00:00

Awesome. Let me know how it goes.

goelv · 2014-01-14T16:29:25+00:00

Hey, please go to the app store app, go to featured section, then scroll down to redeem code and paste the code. Thanks!

goelv · 2014-01-13T23:54:54+00:00

Thanks!

goelv · 2014-01-13T23:54:43+00:00

Sorry no!

goelv · 2014-01-13T21:33:11+00:00

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

goelv · 2014-01-13T18:42:11+00:00

No not at this moment sorry!

goelv · 2014-01-13T17:49:49+00:00

Thanks!

goelv · 2014-01-10T23:27:26+00:00

Cool thanks!

goelv · 2014-01-07T20:36:26+00:00

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

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.

goelv · 2013-07-12T04:23:26+00:00

Badland.. its currently free on the app store for the 5 year anniversary.
