EatsNearby
This app was a candidate in the Apptivate.MS semi-finals.
See how it did among the other candidates in the Social group.
EatsNearby is a foursquare client for Windows 8. While the user isn’t required to sign up or login with foursquare, if he or she does so, the app will show their friends’ recent activity, foursquare recommendations, and allow the user to check in to venues and share tips with friends.
Some technical specifications:
- Written with XAML/C#
- Supports landscape, portrait, and snapped views
- Includes search contract - search for a venue from the start screen
- Shared data across apps (roaming settings)
- Both secondary and live tiles - pin your friends and favorite venues to your Windows 8 start screen!
Here are the libraries this app is using:
Callisto
Bing Maps SDK for Windows 8
Json.NET
Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows 8
TCD.Serialization (for serializing complex types to/from XML)
