Insanely Great Social Hooks and Innovation on this iPhone/Android App
EveryTrail impresses as a well thought out app with GPS, multimedia and social integration. Not only is it well coded and solid, but the marketing is to the point and clear as well.
Objective-C has its challenges and we certainly hear a lot about the memory management, etc... EveryTrail is on Android, too. I like how they give credit to the open source code they used to create it in their credits.
I just downloaded it. Can't wait to try it on the road. See ya!
