Hello all, I developed Scanmarks and I’m very excited to see it featured on Product Hunt.
Scanmarks lets you learn more about the landmarks near you and experience a city like never before.
I wanted to create an app that provided information to users but was more interactive than a map.
I settled on the idea of being able to hold up your iPhone, with a marker appearing over the nearby landmarks after visiting numerous cities and always wondering what landmarks there were and wanting to learn more about the landmarks.
I developed Scanmarks to work without a data connection so it can still be used for those trips abroad.
Currently Scanmarks works in London, Paris and San Francisco. I will be adding more places and new cities soon.
Let me know your thoughts, I hope you like it!
@sykesharvey Just to let everyone know. Scanmarks version 1.0.2 has just launched. I'm pleased to announce I have added the following new cities to Scanmarks:
• Amsterdam
• Barcelona
• Berlin
• Dublin
• Hong Kong
• Lisbon
• Madrid
• Melbourne
• New York
• Sydney
• Washington, D.C.
@sykesharvey I've just released version 1.0.3 with new features:
• A little redesign of the landmarks information page
• iPad support
• You can now share the image of the landmark
• Added the new Safari browser for users on iOS 9
• Because it's December see the snow fall in Scanmarks and open Scanmarks on special days e.g. Valentine's Day and Halloween to see a little surprise.
Scanmarks 1.1 is out with new features:
• Added a 3d touch shortcut for getting quicker access to start scanning for nearby landmarks.
• Prefer to use Snapchat to take a photo of yourself at the landmark? Well now you can! Simply press Snapchat when tapping the camera button.
• You can now tap on the image of the landmark to view it in more detail, zoom in and dismiss it with a fancy animation, go on give it a try!
• A new app icon.
This is interesting. Reminds me of a start up that is working on changing the way phones give us routing directions. Instead of using directions, it uses landmarks: http://www.landmarkdirections.com/
