Title: [Android] Bitcoin Map: bitcoin shops and ATMs around the world
Post by: simpic on November 27, 2015, 03:30:24 PM
Hello, i have just released on Google Play my Android app. It isn't just another bitcoin world map, it has some nice features imho.

You can search for bitcoin merchants in the world in 5 different ways:
- by proximity
- by city
- by category
- by name
- by map


The app provides a view with all infos for each merchant.
In addition it produces statistics: you can see the trend of the world spread of bitcoin among merchants in the world.
Last but not the least, you can view all Bitcoin ATM in the world.

Here are some screenshots:

I look forward to getting feedback from you.

Download (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.bitcoinaccepted.app)


EDIT:
I have changed the name of the app. Now you can search for BitcoinMap on Play store.
In addition I have released a page, available on BitcoinAccepted.in (https://bitcoinaccepted.in) (a bitcoin version of OnOsm.org), in which you can notify to OpenStreetMap contributors a new shop that accepts bitcoin.

I liked pretty much everything on it, very useful one for finding a BTCitcoin accepting merchant however there's a small issue with the app and is the city tab should be replaced by a country tab since everything listed there, are the countries and not the cities, other than that, haven't found any other issue yet ;)

Do you mean that the "City" button should be "Country"?
Thank you for your feedback :)

Does the app pull merchants from a third party list or do you have your own database?

As you can see at the bottom of the main page, the data came from OpenStreetMap.
The app tries the best to categorize them and to sort them by countries/cities.

I like this app very much, very useful especially if you're going abroad. List of merchants is pretty good.
Thank you!

Few Suggestion :
1. Please add more merchants for my country (Indonesia), there are many shops that missing in your apps. You can see it at : http://directory.bitcoin.co.id/daftar-toko/ (http://directory.bitcoin.co.id/daftar-toko/)
2. Consider use shorter name for your apps.
1. The main place where to report bitcoin shop is OpenStreetMap. Even CoinMap and other sites use it. Thank you for your link, but i cannot use it.
Let's use one database, let's use OSM.
2. BAH, do you like it? ;D


Guys, thank you for your messages, i really appreciate them!

Agree.
For OP you can see a merchant list on bitislands.com to see a bitcoin merchant in Indonesia.

Isn't it better than CoinMap?
BAH has more features and it has 2-way sync with OSM.

I think the "standard" db for bitcoin merchants is OSM. A lot of applications and websites use it.
What does "OP" stand for?

I have updated the app: I fixed some minor bugs and I removed the "Cities" tab from "Statistics" section.
I'm experiencing some issues to handle worldwide place names of every country.

Did you give it a try? :D

The application looks good but it wont be useful for me and many other bitcoiners from my country. As per government rules, we are not allowed to do transaction using other payment methods including bitcoin. So there will be no more merchants that accepting bitcoin in my country. Bitcoin ATM does exist but not much, probably only 1-3 bitcoin ATM.
By the way you did a good job in creating the application.

This app is great and it looks very good. I actually found out there are many merchants accepting bitcoin in my country even though I thought there arent any of them.
Some else suggested a shorter name and I also agree with that. This name is OK because you used best keywords and people are going to find it easier but in the future as it gets more popularity you should consider changing it to something unique.

Yes, you are right and I'm thinking about to rebrand it to BitcoinMap ;D

BitcoinMap will be good enough. I check on my Google PlayStore, and you already reach 1k+ download, congratulations. I tried to download and install it, and hey, I can found 2 places near me that is available for bitcoin payment, and it's a cafe shop. But the bitcoin ATM machine is not available near me, and I see that it's in another country.

All in all, I like that app. Thank you.

You can see Bitcoin-OnOsm website going here: https://www.bitcoinaccepted.in
Here you can ask for adding a new venue that accepts bitcoin on OpenStreetMap.

Enjoy :)

BitcoinMap will be good enough.

I renamed it and now the app name on Google Play store is "Bitcoin Map".
Let's search for it!
