seeing as new smart phones run so many things, their batteries dont last, the main reason for this is the internet constantly being on, i would like some one to design an app where when the internet you open a web browser the internet turns on yet when you close it the internet instantly turns off with out going into the settings

I would greatly like a very simple utility that would paste in my email address in any screen environment.

Also a way to simulate arrow keys for cursor movement. I have that when I use
My BT keyboard and it is very helpful.

I am a runner and awful with directions. When training for a long race, it is awful to have to carry around a sheet of paper with the directions and turns.

What I (and MANY other fellow runners) would LOVE to see is a GPS App that you can PLUG IN YOUR ROUTE that will be dictated to you when you reach the turn. This way you can zone out, not sorry about constantly keeping an eye on street signs for your turn and not worry about getting lost!!!!

They should make a smartphowned app.

Smartphowned.com is a popular website that showcases iPhone autocorrect errors that cause awkward situations. It's a good application for those who have an iPhone and I myself have been an avid viewer of this website

Check it out!

the idea i have had for an app is basically an expanded version on noughts and cross's. it works like this, you have a pyramid about eight squares high and expands out at one square a tier, you have a symbol like in noughts and cross's and must get a line of three for a point, gravity applys so you can't put symbols in mid air, the end of the game is when all squares are filled. for more details and design sketches that go into further detail just email me at christianhopes@live.co.uk

i have a few suggestions for the iphone itself that should be integrated.. since it is not as superior as mac has established.. first of all the text messaging function could be vastly improved by having a feature where u could maximize the screen once more after using the keyboard..
second, why arent there any functions to help allocate power settings, as well as having a more sensitive auto brightness feature, wats the point of having a super bright screen at night when my eyes are overly sensitive to light and having it all but disappear under the sunlight ...
third, why doesnt the camera have a zoom in or out feature?
fourth, why cant i send my pics straight to facebook as a message like the "not so superior" android phones...

I am a business professional and would like to buy an application with the following features.

1.       Voicemail templates for:
a.       Work hours; “Hi you’ve reached X with RE/MAX. It is during business hours and I will call you back promptly. If you require immediate assistance, please call my assistant at xxx-xxx-xxxx or email me at X@gmail.com.”
b.      After hours; “Hello you’ve reached X with RE/MAX. It is after 7PM so please leave a message and I will return your call first thing in the morning. If you need immediate assistance, please call my assistant at xxx-xxx-xxxx.”
c.       Sunday; “Hello, it is Sunday and you’ve reached X with RE/MAX. Please call my assistant at xxx-xxx-xxxx or send a text to my cell if this is an emergency. Otherwise I will return your call during business hours. Thank you”

That way I won’t have to keep rerecording those messages over and over. I could have an “on vacation” message and an “in a meeting” message, ect.

2.       Voicemail Forwarding:
a.       I would like to be able to forward a visual voicemail to my office manager so it will come in on their phone as a “New Voicemail”. That way I can add something to his “to-do” list just by forwarding the voicemail.

Make it a paid App, I and thousands of others will buy it!

safety app- notifies your 3 selected people you know in your group that you are leaving a destination and should arrive at next in 'x' minutes. when that time is up it reminds you to check in (this info only goes privately to the people you know and selected) this prompt could look like a regular text message- (to not alert captors) if you do not reply, or "check in"- it sends an alert to the people in your group to contact you, or contact authorities- building in geo locations would be helpful

safety Plans & safe work method statements, Builders and Sub-contractors need them to comply with safety laws. An app that can down load a set of them for use on site would provide this for them. I am able to develop all the forms I need some body to develop the apps. some builders pay big $ for this stuff and the stuff is crap.

what i think will be a great app is one that puts a passcode on your text message app so that you can only access it i mean the passcode that you have on your phone works but once you get past that a person can have access to all you private text messages like when i pass my phone to let people see a picture they usually go through my whole phone including text messages but just a 4 digit passcode would work

The iPhone needs a pokemon sort of game. Ofcourse it cant be a real pokemon game, but it can follow the same mechanics. Here is my idea:

Introduction: After having been a kid in the 90s such as SO many others that are now in posession of an iPhone, we grew up with games and toys we absolutely LOVED back then! Getting right to the point, Pokémon was a HUGE hit back then. Anybody with a gameboy and with either Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow was instantly cool on the school yard, for it was THE thing to play.Now, Pokemon today is still quite popular, but the new original pokemon games are steadily declining in popularity, most of all because of the smart phone. The smartphone is now THE handheld gaming platform and A LOT of smartphone users have grown up in the pokemon craze. But what has the iPhone to offer for these good old pokemon fans? Nothing, they should just have to buy a Nintendo system in order to play the pokemon games. Ofcourse almost none will do that, because a smartphone is already an expensive handheld, and they dont want to pay another big amount of money, just for their pokemon game.Here is where this app comes in. Its basicly pokemon, but its also not a pokemon game. Ofcourse you cant just name it Pokemon or use any of the pokemons names because of copyright reasons. Everything should basicly be renamed and look a little bit different, but the idea can be the same.It also follows the same idea as a pokemon game, though with modern and social twists.The game explained and the pokemon.The game does not take place in a virtual world. The entire game takes place in real life, on the street, at work, during class, in the park and even on the north and south poles if you so desire! Basicly the google maps map is the playground. The game uses your location to show you where you are. The point of the game is to just go somewhere. Going outside is already enough! Like I told you, the world is our playground.Where are the Pokemon then you ask? Well... In this app we arent using pokemon, we're using animals! Any kind of animal, even those you see on the street daily! These will be our pokemon! Any kind of animal is considered a pokemon, from a mere bug to an elephant. The birds in the streets and the cows on the farm land. The dog at home and that lion all the way in africa (or at the zoo). In short, your objective will be to catch all animals and use them as our pokemon and battle other players with it! Now that you have finished laughing or being shocked at the idea of caging wild animals and making them fight, believe me, its definitely animal friendly!Every different animal will have its own default abilities, and learning new ones as they level in the game. I will talk more about what kind of abilities those could be later.Catching a pokemonSo how are you going around catching these animals as our pokemon then? Well realisticly put: You arent. The idea is not to catch the animal, but to make a photograph of it with the camera! If I wanted to catch say a squirrel, I would have to find one, and make a photo of it, being close enough to it that its detailed. Ofcourse photographing a squirrel will be pretty hard, but keep in mind there are also very easy targets, like dogs or pidgeons and doves.Getting the pokemon out of the image:Now say I've managed to make a photo of this squirrel. When you've taken the photograph, there should be a tool that allows the photographer; me, to extract the squirrel from the picture. The extracted image will be your pokemon sprite! This means no squirrel pokemon is alike and every extracted pokemon sprite is unique. This could mean one sprite is beautifully extracted from a picture, while another player has a rough, ugly photo representing his pokemon, and this is all up to the player and his photographing skills.Catching the extracted pokemon!So now I have my extracted squirrel pokemon. But it wouldnt be a pokemon game if this pokemon was automaticly added to my pokemon team! Where would the fun of that be? You will have to fight it first, in order to succesfully catch it! You can use the starter pokemon you get when you first launch the game to fight it.But ofcourse, the game will have to know what type of pokemon this is. This can be done through our version of the "Pokedex". There will be a menu where the player can select which kind of pokemon it is. Now, a Squirrel is a rodent type of animal, so the player should be able to select the squirrel name from the rodent tree. You confirm your selection in the "pokedex" and the game then labels the extracted photograph of the squirrel as a squirrel. Every different animal will have its skillset linked to the kind of animal. As soon as you confirm the photograph as a "squirrel", it will obtain a certain level ranging from how dangerous or cunning the animal actually is in real life, and obtain the skills that fit with the squirrel pokemon. Now you've got yourself a real ingame squirrel to catch and ready to fight back!Fighting the wild pokemon!The fighting system will be simple. It will be a turn based battle, trying to lower or deplete the foe's health points. there can be a maximum of 4 abilities/moves to choose from. The lower level animals to catch can have less attacks, leaving 2 attack slots open. These can however be learned when the "pokemon" progresses.Abilities or moves can range from direct attacks that deal instant damage, attacks that deal damage over the course of several turns like poisons, attacks that temporarily stun the enemy pokemon to a move that can disable a certain ability the other pokemon has for the rest of the fight.To catch the pokemon you will have to weaken it. In other words; bring down the health points of the wild pokemon untill it has almost no more health points left. At this point you use our version of the "pokeball" to try and catch the pokemon. The pokeball has about a 58% chance to catch the pokemon. If it doesnt, the pokemon will break free from the pokeball.If the desired pokemon is defeated before being caught, the player does not need to worry the sprite he made is lost forever. In these cases the "squirrel" sprite we just made will be saved in a menu under the "squirrel", so I can use the sprite I worked so hard on later when I find another squirrel.If you manage to catch the squirrel, your squirrel is then added to your team of pokemon. It will need to be healed before being able to fight properly though, because you just badly weakened the squirrel you just caught. Also, the pokemon you caught will remember where you've taken the photograph, so when you inspect the pokemon, it will show where and by who it was caught in a google maps window. This allows the player to pretty much brag about where he caught the pokemon and that he did infact caught it himself! This is also a very fun feature for when the pokemon is traded to another player, but I will talk about that later.And then you have catched your pokemon!Ofcourse the squirrel is just an example, and the squirrel will propably be a rare pokemon, since its particularly hard to find one in the wild. The earlier pokemon you will likely catch are propably your pets, a pidgeon, a duck on the street or maybe a cow or a horse you've happened to pass by while driving past a farm. More challenging would be other kind of birds, that tend to fly away when you get close. The hunt of getting them on a photograph is part of the fun!Storing pokemon and healing themOfcourse your pokemon wont recharge their health by itself. Your pokemons health will not replenish itself every new battle. You will need to heal your pokemon somewhere. This is where our version of the "pokecenter" comes around. The pokecenters are area's on google maps. Ofcourse it would be terrible to have to go all the way to a place on google maps just to be able to heal your pokemon, so every player has the can place their own pokemon center on the map. There would be two types of pokemon centers. Type A would be at home and the other would be at a point chosen by the player itself. After placing them you can still choose to remove these pokemon centers and place them somewhere else on the map. But you should only be able to do that every once in a long time for both types of pokemon centers. You would likely only place your home pokemon center when you'd for instance be moving to another house or during a vacation away from home.The pokemon centers allow you to fully heal all the pokemon that you currently have. You can take up to 6 pokemon with you. The rest will be stored on a "bank" in the pokemon center. These pokemon can be placed and reclaimed from any pokemon center, so you dont need to be somewhere specific to pick up a previously caught pokemon.When you catch a pokemon and there is no more room in your team, it will be instantly moved to your bank.And after that..The general point is just to catch as many animals as you can and train them to become stronger. A feature would be to battle your friends with them. The best way to have a battle between friends would be through a bluetooth or wifi connection. You can trade your pokemon. The pokemon would retain all their data. Even the info about who caught it and where it was caught. This makes a great little feature that tells you more about each pokemon. Maybe if you're lucky you might end up with a pokemon from another continent!This is a great social game, for it allows you to have it with you when both outside and inside the house. Overall this is a game you can take with you anywhere. Take a nice and relaxing stroll with your friends, and who knows, maybe you will bump into that animal you always wanted to have for a long time! Or search for exotic animals when in the zoo or on a vacation, another thing to brag about with your friends!Possible facebook interactionThis game would be great to link up with facebook. Through facebook your friends can check online which pokemon you've caught, what level they are and possible pokemon on your wishlist! The possibilities are endless!
