Thank you for all your replies, criticisms and feedbacks. I
appreciate them all. The point of this app is mainly to break down
the surcharges for taxi users. Taximeter is mainly a side function.
I know there are quite a lot of taxi users (even local
Singaporeans) get confused by the surcharge system in
Singapore.
This app will show you what kind of surcharges that will incur
during your trip. It uses both GPS and AGPS as a backup in case the
taxi goes through a tunnel or through area where there is no GPS
signal.
I really didn't mean any disrespect, it's simply a taximeter and
I tried to utilize all the location capability on the phone to make
one since I haven't seen any Singaporean developers made one yet so
I thought that it would be a good idea to make one.
This app also has SMS booking and phone book of all the taxi
companies so it's not purely about taximeter.
Once again, I am a young and inexperienced local developer, I
really just wanted to contribute to the local community by making
an app that I thought everyone can use. I really didn't mean
anything else. I hope I didn't offend anyone with this app :(.
When develeoping this app, did you come from the commuters (pax)
perspective or the TDs perspective?
Commuters wants to save booking fee, TD wants to earn booking
fee... How are u going to please both?
Ultimately a middleperson app must be able to statisfy both
side, if not, despite the many taxi apps out there, why is there
non which suceed?
There are many views here in this thread, it will be good if u
spend sometime to understand why. It's helps in product
development, helps to cater the product more the needs of the
stakeholders/customer (TDs, commuters).
