Successful Launch, What's Next?
Posted by Mark Locker on 13th May 2009.
As we approach the end of Towers Guide's second day in the App Store, I think it's fair to say that it's been a fantastic launch - certainly better then we'd hoped!
We've already received tonnes of positive feedback and 5 star reviews in the App Store and have even been featured in an article on the 'Play and Stay' website which can be found here.
What's more, we're currently sitting as the 26th most popular free app in the Travel category of the iTunes store:

Not bad going for the first couple of days! But what's next?
Well, we certainly wont be resting on our laurels - we have tonnes of features which we can't wait to start implementing! There are two main things which we definitely plan to add to version 1.1 of the app:
- Ability to search for rides/attractions/facilities.
- Support for multiple ride/attraction/facility entrances.
If you're puzzled as to what support for multiple entrances will entail, then listen up! Certain things on park (such as the ruins), have multiple entrances. At the moment only one can be set, so if you were standing right by the entrance adjacent to X-Sector, you'd be told to walk to the one by Hex's exit. This should no longer be the case with version 1.1, making direction based features more accurate.
Features such as photo galleries, park news, ride reviews and a viewable park map are being looked into - amongst many others exciting ideas! We think Towers Guide has an exciting future, so don't forget to keep checking back for the latest updates.
