The iphone app store (for India) has some really pretty awesome apps, both for fun and work. Some of the apps that I’m literally addicted to on my iphone is “YouNote”, “Parking Lot”, “Air Sharing” and “Fring” (more on the best apps available on the Indian app store, coming in a different post).
But there is just one little app, that I find missing on the app store. Maybe it won’t be use to a lot of people, but it is certainly useful to me.
The idea is simple. The app lets me set my to-do things, and then just reminds me on time. Nothing great. Except that it should be distance-based, and not time or date based. Or if possible, on the basis of time left to reach my destination. A simple example : I live in Bangalore these days, and visit delhi once in about 4-6 months, but I never know exactly when, and most of the ticket-booking is all done at the last moment. So, effectively, I don’t really have much time to check up on things before leaving. So, when I reach delhi, and am about say 5 kms from my home, this app should remind me of things I need to do; i.e, clean up my messages, remove the indecent stuff :P , etc. Yes, and obviously, this could be better, if this app could determine my instantaneous speed (based on some past data and some heuristics) and tell me that i’ll probably reach home in 10 minutes, so this cleanup is a real priority now :D
If given a chance, I would probably be using this app almost everyday. Telling me to wake up 5 minutes before I reach the office in the mornings, or home in the evenings. I could watch even more movies late nights, having the luxury to catch up on my sleep in the mornings and evenings :)
Anyways, this might not be a great app, but it sure is definitely better than a lot of crap and useless ones on the app store these days. Is anyone listening ???
