There are some here who are seriously involved in mobile apps. John Baird and John Ryan, for instance. I suspect they will give you constructive advice. A lot of us on this site work with more retro technologies and probably don't have a lot to contribute other than encouragement. The only thing I can suggest is the mobile world is directed by Apple, Google, and open source, not Microsoft, so an altered google search may be useful. So, good luck!

Please give my regards to Grand Rapids. I spent an idyllic 8 months there in 1983 at Meijer, helping them out with the inventory control software for a new produce warehouse in Lansing. I used up many brain cycles trying to figure out how to best handle items that came into the warehouse in one form and left in another. Cases of apples came in and were repackaged into shrink wrapped 4 or 6 pack retail units, for example. That was a mind bender for our traditional IC software. We finally figured it out. Then Meijer decided it was more economical to do the repacking at the store, and all our work was thrown to the wind, LOL.

I lived in a nice large apartment complex in the southwest, known locally (and quaintly IMO) as Sin City. Thursday night mixers where young singles check each other out, Sin City? Hmmm.

The name finally came to me after bugging me for hours. Ramblewood. By good fortune I had one of the best units, way at the end and backed up to the woods. Idyllic, I got the word right the first time.
