  • Could we please have an app for cross channel ferries similar to the flightchecker tool. I know it might be a little more complicated because of the options to travel with a car or as a foot passenger, but maybe it could be kept simple by offering just two options, foot passenger or car + 2 as these are probably the most common options.

    How about "Where can I eat Tonight?" using the data you already have on the site of offers from various restaurants etc, the app on a mobile handset could utilise GPS to locate where you are and find a nearby restaurant that currently has an offer on. On the web you could put in a post code. You could add to it by being able to narrow down your search for a particular type of restaurant, Indian, Chinese, Pub Grub etc, Or time of day or perhaps by date - I want to go out next Saturday for a meal?

    Not all the resturant offers need to print a voucher (2-4-1, free dersert, happy hours etc) , so could work on a mobile. Or what about creating an RSS feed of all the resturant offers that come out. That would work on the web or mobile.

    What do people think? ;)

    one which lets you put in all your know expenses so you could type in each time you spend and have your total.

    Second one which lets you search current vouchers and discounts by a catergory so if your on the highstreet and fancy a coffee or want to go to a shop you know where to get the best offer. Companies could even pay to be on so it could make money to fight for money saving.

    Just show your phone on arrival.
  • i'm a forum addict, so why not twitter-ise the forum?????

    have the forum as a browsable base, but receive instant updates of replies to threads you've posted in/private messages/signature updates? a friends section would be handy, so that say i wanted to see what Hypno had been up to in her fabulous diary, i could go into my friends list, tap hypno and see all her latest posts? or just a have a running feed of friends posts?

    I would like to see an App where I can input or tick a list of shops I am going to visit on the High St and the App alerts me to any discount vouchers that are available before I go. That way I can log on and print off any vouchers before I leave the house. Rather than trawling through lists to find what I need.

    I know you said you can't print the voucher off from your mobile but it may well stop people spending straight away if they know there is a voucher available........ I am always hesitating in shops and wondering if I can buy it cheaper online or if there is a discount voucher I can use.. this would take all the hassel out of umming and ahhhing. We would save time, and money and I would get more house work done!!

    Hi can we have an app such as the "whatsthecost" website so people can work out mortgage costs when looking at new mortgage deals!
    An app for interest only and repayment plus regular overpayments and one off lump sums would be helpfull for all the posters on the Mortgage Free board.
  • I'd really like to see a shopping helper application that links together as many of the vouchers, reward schemes, shop discounts to work out the best price for your item. I appreciate this may be quite different to do though.

    what about an app that tells you you shouldn't have wasted 400 quid on an i-phone ;)
  • I thought it was more like 900 quid over the life time
