About Bike Share Philly Map
Written in an over caffeinated daze this morning (release early, release often right?) This project shows available bikes and available docks on a nice little android map.
Hints
+ Zoom to reveal more kiosks hidden behind blue clusters.
+ Tap a blue map marker to see bikes and docks available.
Why does this app need to read from, and write to local storage?
+ This is a requirement of the Google Maps API. See this page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#specify_permissions
There is a bug tracker here: https://github.com/shalperin/PhillyBikeShare-Android/issues and if you are a developer, feel free to get involved.

Best indego app in the android mkt so far. Very simple and pretty accurate on the bike counts. Thanks a lot!

...but it would be even better if it displayed Google Maps' bike path layer. That way users could find their destination and work out a route without leaving the app.

We were waiting for this! If you add locations of beer gardens, I'll love you forever (this is our dedicated "bike-to-beer-gardens" app).

Very good. Once I find the bike, can you make it a speedometer and distance calculator too?

Good reliable app for the Indigo bike system. It's a simple app showing a map with the bike station info making it load fast. You can refresh the information and it gives you a pretty acurate live info. Also when you select a station in the app there's a link you can click that send you into google map directions for that destination. It would be great if in the app was added the option to select a bike station that would enable us to get an alert or notification if it gets full or empty while on our way. It would also be nice if when clicking a station you could click a link for a google street picture of that station making it easier to find them. Overall a nice easy and reliable app for indigo bikes users.
