Hello everyone! Super excited to finally launch version 2 of this iOS app! With Flinder, you can discover fun things to do based on your location, weather conditions and current time. For instance, if you open the app at night it'll give you suggestions to go to a pub, karaoke bar, nightclub etc. If you open it in the afternoon and the weather's kinda sucky it'll recommend activities like visiting a museum, go to the movies, all kind of indoor activities. It'll also show you nearby places related to the activities. I've completely rebuilt to app from scratch in React Native. V1 was built in Cordova/Phonegap which was.. not that great to say the least. Anyways if you decide to give it a go (promo codes available, send me a dm), please let me know what you think! 👏

Hi @echlpl does your app have strong UK and Ireland content.

@stevenlaw Hi Steven. The app uses Foursquare data to find the nearby places related to the things to do so it definitely has. That being said, the app performs better in urban areas where there are a lot of places listed.

@echlpl Hi Jan, so what makes your app unique compared to just using FourSquare?

@stevenlaw Flinder is best used for those moments when you really can't make up your mind what to do. It decides based on your location, time and weather conditions what's the best thing to do for you at that moment, without having to use filters or doing a signup, etc.

Update: Flinder is now free! Although my plan was never to monetise the app, I thought getting some revenue out of it would be a nice little extra since I've put quite some effort into it. But I feel the app itself isn't "robust" enough for people to actually spend some money on it, so I made it free.

"Find awesome things to do" - Screenshots show recommendations for "Zoo" and "Coffee Shops". Please help me understand what sets this app apart from let's say Google Maps or Yelp or other apps in this category.

@tostartafire hi Dan! This app gives you a ranked list of recommendations of things to do based on your location, weather conditions and time (see my first comment for more details). The main difference with apps like Yelp or Foursquare is that it gives you just one thing to do at a time, without having to use filters or decide on a category. Flinder “decides” what’s the most perfect thing to do for you at that moment. It’s for those moments when you really can’t make up your mind what to do today :-)
