The GPS Insider

I guess you could call me jaded.  It’s not often that a mobile application really impresses me anymore.  This one did.  Almotawef, which is an application for Muslim pilgrims, helps them find their relatives and groups during Hajj, walks them through the Hajj rituals and points them to the places they have to go to. I haven’t seen the app myself, but the concept is fabulous.  It addresses a real consumer need and targets a specific activity.  Value and utility.  If I were on a pilgrimage to Mecca I would pay for this in a heartbeat.  The application was developed on weNear, a new framework for location-based services.

Thanks, Andrei
