I know id kill to have an app like that, purely because I'm cheap & like to buy things as cheap as possible Tongue

you can't get prices of other supermarkets (atleast not in the nehterlands) so the app would most likely not support that feature.

An app that has information about animals that you see on the road!

Eventhough it would be a bitch to gather all the information, it would be pretty informative for people without internet connection.

Kids are very enthusiastic about animal books! I know 6 year olds might not be able to read very well, but I remember that just looking at pictures of the animals, was really cool and exciting! I remember going to bed and just picking up a book full of dinosaurs and reptiles and other animals! I loved it! I still read animal books, but with a bit more text. Tongue

If you want an app with animals, and you must be able to use it when you dont have internet connection, it would be HUGE. Because you have the images and text of 1000+ animals in it.
and when you have new information you have to update the app, so if it grabs the information from the internet it would be better.

Yeah, that's true, grabbing it from the internet would be better, but what if they had the ability to download the information from the internet after they've downloaded the app?

Kinda like if someone is going to Tanzania, they could download packages that include reptile information, or mamals, and you can download the package for animals in Africa?

It would still be a huge project, I know. But it would be cool to see.

Let's get this business plan set-up then!
Pitch to some investors, I'm sure people would love the risk of it.
Edit: Notsrs.
Some people need to appreciate what they get, not take it for granted.

Don't pitch it, do crowdfunding instead. Put it up on IndieGoGo or Kickstarter and try and raise money on there. There's no pressure to return the money either B)

you only need a server for the information. So it will cost like $20 a year. No need for crowdfunding or indiegogo Tongue

No need to tell them that though. Do you want more profit or not? Biggrin

I don't think you guys realize how much time it would take to gather information of every known animal on the planet + have a description of it.

I say you make your own browser and make a few plugins for it.

I'd imagine a browser would be easy to make. They are in Visual Basic anyway. It will be hard to do something that the Mercury Browser doesn't though.

Plus how would the app recognise the animal like a Pokedex?

You realize that we realize that?
