  • Golfers Info iPhone App

    IconA little while ago I did a post on South African Developed iPhone Apps. I haven’t seen many other new apps make their appearance until Shaun tweeted this morning that his Golfers Info iPhone app had been approved by Apple. Knowing Shaun personally from work, this is a fantastic achievement.

    The Golfers Info web app was released a couple of weeks ago, and was chosen as a staff pick on the Apple Web apps. And then this morning, Shaun got the magic mail from Apple to say his app had been approved into the app store.

    The is a simple little app that integrates with the Golfers Information Website, also originally developed by Shaun. The iPhone app allows you to view reviews of golf courses around South Africa, as well as catch up with the golfing news from around the world

    A very cool feautre of the Golfers Info iPhone app is that it allows you to view golf courses near you, using your current location, perfect if you are away on a holiday, and want to hit a couple of balls As you can see in the screenshot below, it shows me a whole bunch of courses that are close to me.

    You can also catch up with all the Pro Golfers comings and goings, via a dedicated Twitter stream inside the app as well.

    All in all a well rounded app, that will make life a whole lot easier for those bigwigs, that make their crucial business decisions on the golf course :)

  • ZATV Guide iPhone app

    img_0442The guys from immedia have released thier 2nd iPhone app, which is an awesome app that allows you to view a TV schedule from all the DSTV channels.

    The app is called the  ZATV guide, and I have had a chance to play with the submitted version for the last 2 weeks.

    Overall the app is clean, and simple to use. Once the app opens you are presented with a “My ZATV” screen, where you can chose to keep a list of your “Favorite channels” or “Favorite TV Shows” The next screen is  “All Channels”, which allows you to view all the DSTV channels, and you can click through to see what is on each channel. You can search by either Channel Number or by A-Z of the channel name. Home Screen

    Once you have gone into the channel, you can then add this channel to your “Favorite Channel” screen on the home page. You can also select a specific programme, which will allow you see what is happening in that specific episode.

    The 3rd Screen allows you to search for a specific show or Series. This will then show you when the show is showing and on which channels, as well as give you detailed information on the series. You can then also add the show to your  ‘Favorite TV Shows” on the home screen

    img_0446img_0447All in all this is a well rounded app, that is simple to use, and is going to be very useful when deciding what movie to watch on a Sunday night.

    The app can be downloaded from the iTunes store for Free from here – > Download
