    Hi all,

    Just a quick heads-up to say the iOS app is now available!

    Argos.ie Stock Checker

    This app is in early days since I wasn't to roll out a basic version to make sure Apple approved it before rolling out some of the more advanced features such as:

    - flagging out-of-stock items and a push notification if that out-of-stock item comes back in stock
    - validation of product information as soon as catalogue number is entered (no need to click 'Search')
    - recent searches (view recent searches by all users)
    - popular searches (view popular searches by all users)
    - and more!

    This version will be released very shortly.

    Decided to pop it into it's own thread alright, since that other one has gotten quick large and hard to keep track of.

    Thanks for the kind feedback all.

    Like I said.. very basic for now, but a more fully featured version isn't far away.

    So if the Bargain Alerts mod can promote their mobile apps here is it cool now to post threads here about some of my free apps? ;)

    Bit of a Topsy turvey month for me so it will not be in June i'd say. I hope to have one released mid to end July.

    I actually decided last night that I better not look at Basqs app or else I'll be done for plagirsim when doing the layout (as i wont be able to think of anything other than how he did it)!

    As i said in the other thread im in the middle of writting another app at the moment, showRSS mobile (shameless) which is similar in terms of it something that scrapes a webpage so I have the majority of the boiler plate stuff already done, couple that with the fact I already have the regular expression for parsing done from the website it should be quick enough to put together once i get going.
