Hello all, I’m back!… ok, ok…… hold your applause lol I have been traveling on business and working on a new/old Job I will start on Jan 1. (Long story). I have found that trying to post an app of the day each day is a bit too much for me, with the demands of my job & family so I will try and continue to provide quality apps for you as I can, but I do not expect to be able to make a new post each day.
Enough about me and on the the app for today. Todays iPhone app is a newly released app for the iPhone but one that I have used on other mobile platforms in the past.
Todays App: Earthcomber by Earthcomber LLC
Earthcomber is a Navigation application that searches and displays things around you. There must be 100′s of app store apps that do the same thing, but this app does more and does it better. It is not just a front end for the built in Google maps application like some of the other apps of this type.
Earthcomber includes the most extensive list of categories and sub categories of any app of this type:
You are also able to personalize your lists:
When finding Restaurants and nearby things you also have access to reviews, not only a link on the map:
You can also create an account to save location, and categories to your “My Radar” page, where you can also add friends and see there location on the map:
This seems that it will make a very useful application, when traveling or looking for new places near your hometown. There are a few bugs in the account sign in and password process, and it seems that some times if there is not an item close to you in a particular category (especially when searching Restaurants by Cuisine) that it will list noting, while in other categories with items close, it will also list items 100′s of miles away… This is the first release and I am sure this app will only get better.

Price: FREE
My Rating: ★★★★☆
Get it from the app store: viewSoftware
