Smart Lock

Smart Lock is a small app that I put together for the ADC2. I haven't stopped work on my Disc Golf App, but I took a small break from it in order to fix an annoyance I had with my new myTouch 3G.
Smart Lock runs in the background and allows you to securely use the the last app you were running when you wake up your phone. It is best explained with a video demonstration:



Smart Lock is great for:
  • "Child Locking" any app
  • Changing songs while running
  • Looking at Google Maps while driving
  • Any small task that is done in intervals.
Smart Lock is not available yet, but if you sign up for my email list you will get an invite to beta when it is ready. I hope you like the app. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Welcome

If you're like me then you love Disc Golf. I get together with some friends about twice a week to play at the local course. I know roughly what my average score is, but I'd like to keep track of my scores better. And it would be awesome to be able to compare my scores to all my friends scores!

This is why I am developing a simple application to do this and a couple other cool things.
The app is codenamed "Disc Golf App".

"Disc Golf App" let's you:
  • Track your scores on each course so you can compare with your friends.
  • Find any disc golf course and get turn-by-turn directions to it.
  • Map out an entire course with GPS locations, fill in the details simply by drawing on the map with your finger and sharing your course map with your friends and the community.
  • Read reviews, see photos and videos of a course before you play it for the first time.
  • Easily share scores, videos and photos of your golf trip with your friends.
  • Select the disc that will get you closest to the pin based on your throwing history and the history of others.
  • Use the built in GPS range finder to determine exactly how far away you are from the pin and the edge of the water.
  • Schedule a game with your friends.
  • Analyze crazy detailed statistics and graph your progress.
  • Check the 3-day weather forecast.
  • Meet new golfers in your area.
And all this will run on your cell phone so you never be without it.

Note: There will be a regular golf version as well.

I will be release a video soon. You can sign up for email updates here.
