It started more than a month ago Registrations at the application competition organized by Orange and in a short time the Romanian developers have signed up over 100 of the best Romanian applications or application concepts. On September 14, Orange a publicat the list of applications and application concepts entered in the contest and 2 weeks later opened the voting stage of the contest in which users can Vote your favorite application from the contest and win a prize for it. This voting stage will end on October 12, and I think it would be good to take a look at a few applications that seemed to me to be worthy of our attention.
Application category
E-guide : Contrary to expectations, not all E's are dangerous. The E-Guide application was created to guide you in making decisions about your daily diet. Thus, you can choose healthy products from those on the market. Just by typing the number of the E, its name or its function, you can access information that will be of real use to you in choosing healthy products.
Romanian news : Stiri Romania is a social browser that contains 70 websites with quality content, in the Romanian language. All pages are optimized for mobile, so that a 3G connection will be enough to update you with the new news of the day. The pages open inside the application, so you will never have to close and open the application to visit a site included in the Romania News application. News links can be sent by email, posted on Facebook or Twitter.
Driving School : Whether you have a driver's license or not, test your knowledge and compete with your friends in solving car quizzes and accumulating as many points as possible. With an attractive and easy-to-use design, the "Driving School" application offers you car quizzes, the latest versions of the Highway Code and the Enforcement Regulations, mechanics lessons, first aid measures, information about fines, images of road signs and their description, the steps to follow to obtain the permit and much more..
Rome: Urbee is a mobile guide for the urban environment. It is updated every Friday with the events of the following week, including the schedule of cinemas, parties, etc. It contains all the addresses of clubs, restaurants and other places to go out in Bucharest. It also contains useful information, recommendations, taxi.
Guerrilla Bob: Guerilla Bob is an action-packed shooter game with stunning visuals, plenty of kick-ass weaponry, unique enemies, explosive ammunition and non-stop humor.
Ideas category
Dictionary: Currently, there are several Dictionaries in the AppStore. Unfortunately, they all have major problems such as: - incomplete - slow - without diacritics - with bugs - with ads placed in the search or definition window that spoil the user experience - with ads for other developer applications presented at startup - with "features" for which the user has to pay extra (some even basic ones such as Search) - with a long time to install the database at the first start, etc.
Pollution tax calculator: A simple application that allows the horse of the pollution tax for new and second-hand vehicles.
Public Transport Bucharest: The application is already available in the AppStore, but the idea is to have a completely new functionality, the first among the applications intended for Romanians, that of Augmented reality. With the help of this option, the user will be able to point the phone's camera in the direction and the application will show the existing public transport stations in that direction, the distance, the lines that pass there, etc... An example of such an application with Augmented reality can be seen at the following link: http://itunes.apple.com/ro/app/metro-madrid-ar/id336931814?mt=8
These are just some of the applications record of developers in the contest, but their list "hides" many other interesting applications, but I'll let you discover them. Don't forget that your vote counts for the selection of the winners, but it can also bring you one of the 2 premiums daily put to the test by Orange. If you respect the work of Romanian application developers, then give them one vot in the application contest to give them the chance to win one of the prizes offered by Orange for the best applications. To vote you must have one account registered on the site.
The contest ends on October 12, so hurry up to make your contribution to the development of the iPhone community in Romania.
