Gottahava Wawa

My first iPhone app is completed!

This app locates the closest Wawa Food Stores location to you, as well as shows you where all are located.

For more information on Wawa Food Stores, visit their website at www.wawa.com.


App Details:
-shows you every Wawa location by distance.
-gives you directions from your current location to a selected Wawa.
-allows you to search for a certain Wawa by town name or store number.
-shows a map of every Wawa location, with options to see only 24 hour stores, only gas stores.
-semi-complete iPad compatible version (everything works, just might not look quite right)

Future Plans:
-Complete iPad version.
-have the ability to mark which stores have been visited.
-add the ability to input the current location for iPod Touch users.
-add the ability to show the current promotion and sales.
-add the ability to check gift card balances.
-add the ability to customize the way the app shows information.
-make the database be an auto-update for new stores.
-add nutritional info. (put on hold)
-add a search option to find a specific store, or stores around a specific location. (complete in v2.0)

Note: I have been getting requests to make ordering from the deli a part of this app. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the way Wawa's ordering system works, If this situation does change, that will be added.


App History:
Jan 15, 2010: version 1.0.1 is submitted to Apple, this version is a bugfix release which fixes issues getting directions from the MapAll screen, as well as fixes a few stores info which was listed incorrectly.

Mar 1, 2010: version 2.0 submitted to Apple. I took the past few weeks re-writing this app from the ground up. It now features a tab bar. This makes updates and more features easier to put into the app. Also included is a search function so that you can search for your Wawa of choice by either town or store number.

June 3, 2010: version 2.0.3 approved by Apple. This update fixes a big error where iPod Touch would load the app. Also in this update was some iPad code, so there is now a semi-complete iPad version.
