72 Hours Later...

We crossed a milestone in just under 72 hours.  Now the app, GIDCompare, is in the "10 - 50 users" category.

Thank God for kind and loving family and friends! :P

I am going to add advertisement banners to the other web sites like GIDForums and see how that will work out for the app.  I am sure there is a lot of potential there to convince the random reader to install the app on her Android device.

If you have a web site or a blog and would like to advertise the app on your web site, you can find some banners here.  The click URL is:

Introducing GIDCompare

GIDCompare is my first Android application published to Google Play.

GIDCompare is a simple unit cost price calculator. An ideal tool for shopping, especially grocery shopping. Compare packaging sizes and compare prices to find the most value for your money. A shopping price comparison application to help you find the best buys.

The input fields of the application also accept valid math expressions (formulas,) e.g. "500+375" or "2*4.275" or "23*(1-0.25)".

Download GIDCompare from Google Play.

If you are reading this and you own an Android device, I urge you to install my little Android application and try it out. Please rate it if you like it. If you don't like it, or if you have ideas for me to improve the application, please leave a message here or contact me via email.

I owe a debt of gratitude to all the senior members of GIDForums, past and present, for inspiring me and teaching me everything I know about programming today. Without these great and generous human-beings, I would not even imagine developing an Android application all by myself.

Special thanks to Mr. Dave Evans - an intelligent man, a generous man, a worthy man. Just reading his forum posts everyday for the last few years turned me, a guy who has never had a day of formal computer training his entire life, into a guy who loves programming and getting good at it! :)

A Web Log for GIDApp.

Welcome to my web log for GIDApp.com.

I am very grateful to Google for making this all so simple and nice. I created this blog in just under 5 minutes and after 15, this post, my first blog of this site, is already written and published to the web!

Now I can spend my valuable time developing Android applications instead of wasting a huge chunk of it figuring out how best to style my web pages! :)

Hello Watch out world!
