iWant – Stuff around you

$0.00 from Rudrajit Samanta Software

iWant is your single source for finding services (resaturants, movie theaters, movie showtimes, bars, banks, wikipedia articles, etc.) around you. This is the only “stuff near you” app that combines the power of restaurant reviews, yellow pages listings, movie showtimes, wikipedia articles and more in one place so you don’t need an array of apps cluttering your home screen.

As seen in : The Wall St. Journal (Walt Mossberg and Katherine Boehret), The New York Times (Michelle Higgins) and WIRED magazine (Mathew Honan).

iWant uses location services so you don’t have to enter your zip-code or address. Results are available in both list and interactive map view.

– Unlike other apps (such as Yellow Pages and Vicinity) this one can plot your results on a map. Unlike Yelp and Urbanspoon, the map view in iWant is fully interactive and supports the same navigation as the google maps app that comes with the phone.

– It’s the fastest way to get at local movie showtimes. It’s also the only app that will plot (on a map) the theaters a particular movie is playing at.

– Allows you to switch your current location (just drag the center of the blue circle in the map view) if the location function (on the first generation iPhone) is off by a bit.

– As you move your current location or type in a new one, the results refresh instantly allowing you to explore the neighborhood a few blocks at a time.

– Filters let you narrow down the restaurant and nightlife choices.

– Settings allow you to pick a radius for the search and sort by rating or distance.
