iBelieve Connect - Street Level Zoom
About a 3 weeks ago the iBelieve for the iPhone hit the app store. It has been exciting to watch the map populate everyday with more and more dots representing the faith of iPhone addicts around the world. But, it has been much more intriguing to read the user reviews that rolled in requesting new features. iBelievers spoke out about what they thought would make this app really pop. And, it was well received.
So, what was the feedback? Resoundingly, “Let us connect with other users of similar faith!” and “Let us see all users at the same time” . So, that is what has begun tobe implemented in the release of iBelieve.
Users will be able to choose to associate their Facebook user name, Twitter user name, or both with their chosen affiliation and approximate location. Zoomed out to a world view, only the location dots of users will be seen. But, when they drill down closer to street level on the map, you will see the contact info flag next to the user’s marker.
In addition, the picker on the Map Screen will allow all faith affiliations to be displayed at one time on the map. Each major religion category will be shown in a distinct color when the “Show All” category is selected, showing the regional mix of faiths in a glance.
I am looking forward to the release of the new iBelieve features within the next few weeks. Hopes are that this new version will help move forward social networking among and across the multiple faith groups around the world. The world becomes a smaller place everyday.
iBelieve 1.o is free on the App Store. Until the new and improved iBelieve is available in a few weeks, please take a moment to download a copy @http://bit.ly/FK0Z9. Thanks for your help!
