My girlfriends sister owns a local tanning salon..I figured what better place to try my hand at developing for a client (free of charge in this case). Nothing too special about it, but I had fun putting it together. Big thanks to PSMDanny for the amazing design menu and to MacApple for the new and improved image gallery plugin - http://itun.es/us/PIOYI.i

Nice one buddy! Cheers for the shout out as well. Business apps are a different level, good on ya!

Sweet. The salon must be stoked! Now her competitors will all want your apps!.

Nice work! Tony

Awesome! Keep up the good work! I hope the word of mouth spreads and you can get some more business from it!

Hi Absentia, Looks like you've been "absent" a while...! Any followup on your work? I was wondering if you got any more apps done for other businesses or competitors?! just wondering if it all went well for ya... update: HAHA! Sorry... I don't know why when I saw your first post It looked as if its from a year ago! That's why I tried to followup on the good news!, never mind! But I do like the graphics, is it a BT 1.5 app though? I mean with the likes and comments and shares (Oh My!)?

I'm lovin' the graphics on the main screen there! Very professional and attractive. Bet this app gets tons of downloads! Nice work! Mark

Hi Absentia, Congrats on this one. Looks very good and thank you for using The Design Menu Plugin. Great to see the use of it by someone else. I love the implementation of socialize. Good job! Best Regards, Danny PS for the images: You will be stoked to see what plugin will come soon.....

Looks great and good luck in your future releases I just want to know how did you do the bottom socialise bar? is it a plugin? thanks

Thanks a lot guys! @MacApple - yeah, I realized that pretty quick - I kind of have a template figured out for my own apps but it's quite a process going back and forth with somebody on every detail. It was awesome though because I was kind of forced to stretch out of my comfort zone and learn new things, such as how to use GIMP for image editing @ianjamespiano - I definitely hope so! I'll admit I've had it in the back of my mind that if the personal apps ever start to tank, at least now I have my foot in the door for a different revenue source @Stobe - We'll see..I didn't put any kind of personal contact info into the app - I wasn't sure if that was something that is generally considered ok for developers to do (is it?) @WebNevees - haha yeah I saw your post before you edited it and I was scratching my head trying to make sense of it. This is a 2.0 app - the likes, comments, and shares were all added pretty easily using the socialize SDK @GoNorthWest - Thanks! I have to give some credit to google image search though :P @PSMDanny - Thanks...I'm guessing you can probably tell I took a few ideas from the hotel screen example - those tutorials are really helpful. Hmmm you've got me wondering about this image plugin now...if it's a thumbnail gallery plugin I will be extremely stoked @Wissam - thanks for the comments - socialize is an SDK that is currently free to use - http://www.getsocialize.com

Hi Absentia, Way to give back!!! LA

Nice work. A Tanning salon is def necessary in Alaska! How many hours of darkness is it currently? (Just entered the get up and it's dark and go home it's also dark phase in the midwest) >> I didn't put any kind of personal contact info into the app - I wasn't sure if that was something that is generally considered ok for developers to do (is it?) For sure. The Splash screen should have your app logo very promintely placed. A contact developer link is essential. That apprater plugin is nice to prompt for reviews too. This is a walking advertisement for you. Exploit it!

probably about 17-18 hours of darkness currently, but we're gaining daylight now so that's good news! At least the summer makes it worth it when there's 19 hours of daylight in June Thanks for the info - now I just need to figure out an official logo :/
