Need your help guys!

Hi guys, I've been traveling a lot lately and when I come to a new place, I'm looking for essential things like Wi-Fi, parking, toilets, drinking water, etc.

I thought it would be nice to have someone or something to ask where such things can be found every time and since I'm a programmer guy, a solution that almost immediately came to my mind was an application. A map of free stuff, where anyone could look for stuff and add stuff they discover. People could share such information about places they've been to with each other.

So I've created an app like that. Well it took me a few weeks in fact.

Since all of you guys are travelers, I would like to ask you for your help. If you have spare time and if you don't mind a bit of volunteering, it would be very kind of you, read further.

First off, the app is very new. It may (and likely does) contain bugs. I'd like to hunt down as many of them as possible, please let me know if you encounter any. Second, it's only me who's used the app so far, I'm happy with how it works now, but your imagination about perfect user interface may be different. When using the app, you might miss a button here and a description there, etc. If you do, don't hesitate to tell me.

You can give me your hints either in this topic or using any other ways I mentioned in the app.

Finally, I'd love your help with adding places to the map. There's all sorts of categories of places you can add. From free Wi-Fi to free camping to beach showers to skateparks. I'm sure you guys can figure out more ideas for categories - again, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll certainly consider adding them.

You can currently add these categories of places to the map:
- Free Wi-Fi
- Free Beach Shower
- Free USB Charge
- Free Electricity Socket
- Free Camping Site
- Free Parking
- Free Camper Van Parking
- Wave Breaker
- Outdoor Gym
- Free Sports Court
- Free Playground
- Free Toilets
- Free Drinking Water

If you've got spare time and want to help me to make this app really handy, let's get on it.

For iOS (coming soon, use the next link in your iPhone or iPad).

For browsers (desktops, laptops & mobile) click here: <snip>eb

Thank you for any help. 😊

- Moderators: I thought this section is a good one to post this in, but if you can think of a better section in this forum, feel free to move my post. Thank you. 😊
