Good Good Job,

Small question though, there is an existing app called aroundme with similar features,

why did you think of naming it as such?

Comment on Yes the Mobile Number Portability is here but…. by caroline njuguna

now its is` Kuhama` my number has been snapped out of safcom and snapped into airtel the recieving network,question is if i the subscriber cease to need the number will the original donor receive the number back the number to its network and will the second receiver be wiling to snap back my number??
2; what if i decide to leave the first operator for a second time and then subsequently elect to use a third operator?will the mobile operator still snap out my number to the my choice of network. since the diffrent networks are all looking for attractive ways to remain competitive,i will be forecd to shift offten to the net work that will offer better services with out buying loads of sim cards!
3: how many times can one shift from one network to another in a week, a month, a year? or i can go in and out when ever?

Thanks guys for the response. Aroundme is doing quite well and am hoping the curve will keep rising. India is indeed a large market for mobile apps and if your app is relevant there you can’t get plenty of downloads. Right now more than half of total downloads are from India. Aroundme is not a groundbreaking idea or anything close to that. Such apps are already available on ios and android markets. @searchramble The latest versions of android already come with such an app (called places) custom built and installed by Google but you can also search for aroundme on the android market. I would say it differ’s with Google and ovi maps on it’s ease of use and a good ui.
