Special App from meinestadt.de for Windows Phone 7

meinestadt.de is offering something that has been already available from the online directory Das Örtliche since the beginning of the year, and from the local ratings portal Qype since this July: an app for the Windows Phone 7. In cooperation with Microsoft, the city portal developed this special mobile application. The apps for the iPhone and Android smartphones have been available for quite some time.

The app is available in the Windows Marketplace, under http://redir.ec/meinestadt-windowsphone7, to download. The developers have chosen the most popular categories from the vicinity radar for the app, according to allesklar.com. Users that are on-the-go can search for restaurants, cafés, hotels, or ATMs for all German cities and municipalities. Users also receive weather information, events, and film times in the vicinity. The smatphone’s localization is automatically conducted using GPS.

Pity that the app for the Windows Phone 7 isn’t as well-equipped as the version for the iPhone and Android. Users of the Microsoft smartphone have to give up sights, local news, and current deals. This is because of the technical development required, as told to the Local Search Blog by allesklar.com – the contents of the current app can’t just be copied one for one. Instead, the app for the Windows Phone 7 had to be completely redeveloped. The long-term goal, however, is to bring the mobile offering to “the same level”. How much energy the company will be willing to put into the further development of its apps depends naturally on how often the various apps are used.
