It has been a long time coming, but we can now give you full disclosure on one of our big projects. Last week, Woodland Park Zoo became the first zoo to have it's own iPhone app. This app utilizes AMP (AVAI Mobile Platform) to provide the zoo with a content management system that serves data to both the iPhone App and a mobile optimized website.
Zoo administrators will be able to add content for years to come all from a simple web interface. This provides users with a great utility for navigating the zoo through the GPS. We plot your location at the zoo on the map right on the phone. You can pinch to zoom and scroll very easily just like a Google Map.
In addition users can use the Friend Finder feature to see their friends on the map. The app can also post to facebook and twitter so that people can share their experiences with their friends.
So far, the reviews are very positive and we couldn't be happier with the reactions we've received. Mobile apps are here to stay. They just make life better.
