Taxi Fare Calculator

[taxiroute]

Hi,

About 2 years ago I launched a taxi fare calculator website for the UK. It's doing quite well and is hitting over £10m of enquiries a year at the moment.

But, as everyone keeps pointing out, not many people are sitting in front of their laptop when they are looking for a taxi. They keep asking "where is the mobile version?"

So, with my limited skills in c#.net I have developed a Windows Phone 7 version which is almost ready to go live. It's based on an SOAP/XML webservice which is up and running.

I am looking for a developer who might be interested in writing an Android version of the app and be paid on a % of the sales of the app.

I hope people might see that this is a worthwhile app and not a "fart machine" and might like to get involved.

Please take a few minutes to take a look at a video demo of the app I have written. Basically I just want an android version of this...

Anybody interested?

Thanks

Hey Trev

Sounds interesting - what is your timeline, if it is not ASAP? I have developed a few in-house android apps, and a couple of iPhone apps, but nothing too exciting. However, I am pretty sure I could provide an Android clone.

Hi Ian,

to be honest my timelines are as exactly as you describe - "ASAP"

im not sure of your background but if you would like to look at the source code for the wp7 (in c#.net) as well as the API (SOAP/XML) please pm me and we can have a chat?

Let me know if you are still looking for someone to develop the android app, it should be easy enough with an existing SOAP service exposed.

unfortunately, the first developer I found has dropped out of the project due to other commitments.

anyone else interested?

you appear to be a perfect fit. you obviously have extensive knowledge in android development plus you appear to specialise in calculators, which taxiroute is.

done any mapping?
