Google Android Reviews
Android is a new mobile platform created by Google, a technology poised to launch on a wide range of phones for all networks as a direct competitor to the iPhone. Built exclusively for this platform, the LouderVoice Android application enables people to write and find reviews when they are out and about with their Android phone, making full use of cell tower location and GPS to give users local reviews wherever they are.
We launched our Google Android application in May 2009 to wide acclaim. Not only was it the first Irish Android application, it was one of the first reviewing apps globally on the platform. Most mobile reviewing applications are about finding locations but do not enable users to write reviews - our app is about consumers reviewing here and now and pushing that information to a wide audience immediately.
Android Means a World of Business Opportunity
This video review from a user of our LouderVoice for Android application shows how simple and powerful it is to use. But this power extends far beyond our own uses; our white label OEM option allows you to build a completely branded, custom tailored Android application using our API. This makes it a perfect opportunity for:
- Cities and tourism boards who want to build Android enabled city guides for visitors.
- Hotel groups who want to enable guests to find their closest room for the night, and even nearby recommendations for meals, shopping and entertainment.
- Franchises who want to allow consumers to find local retail outlets anywhere in the world, including cinemas, restaurants, hotels, and more.
The information appearing on map points is completely controllable, so you can open your application up to all reviews from all consumers, or simply use it to push out the information you want to put on the map for visitors.
As an example, all 20,000+ Roomex.com hotel reviews are available on our self-branded LouderVoice application for Android, allowing consumers to find well-rated local hotels and accommodation reviews all over the world. But using our powerful API, amazing things can be created. Consider this example for a national cinema franchise:
CinePlexoply releases an Android application built on the LouderVoice API. Movie goers can now easily find their closest CinePlexoply theatre whenever they fancy a trip to the movies, wherever they are. But in addition to that, they can also see the most recent film reviews from each cinema, even broken down by genre, to help them slect the film they'll enjoy the most. And, with a bit of API extension, they can even book and purchase tickets - all from the Android phone held in their hand.
The power of our Android platform doesn't stop there. To take this idea even further, because downloadable Android applications can be free or paid, a business could be launched for film fanatics entirely on this platform, listing all cinemas in a state, country, region or even world-wide, with associated cinema and film reviews.
If, like us, you believe the future of Android and location-based services is vast and rich, talk to us about our LouderVoice platform for Android today. The possibilities really are limitless!
