Domain.com.au launch iphone app
Domain.com.au. the real estate portal owned and operated by Fairfax Media has released an iphone app today. The app is really nicely put together and offers most of the same functionality as the website does. It feels really quick to use and given their wealth of content it was fairly comprehensive in terms of listings in the areas I searched.
They’ve judiciously used iphone transitions and effects, they’ve used animations to make the app feel faster, all in all it’s a very handy app for those of us who are house-hunting.
Congrats to the guys at Domain, for yet again being the first to leverage a new technology amongst the major property portals.
Grab it here (itunes link).
I’m looking forward to subsequent releases when the app should gain maping and location functionality, and I’d love to see what they can do with APM’s data
The app would never have seen the light of day without your commitment and enthusiasm of pushing it through FD. Thanks!
Thanks Mark. You were a key player in this, so feel the love too!
The app says it needs a 2nd gen ipod touch to run… so won’t install on mine. As far as I can see theer are no functions that require any hardware differences (mic, speakers etc) so why has this limitation been made? It seems to be in error, I believe. It certainly isn’t a software restriction.
David: You’re entirely correct. When the app was submitted, we did not have an iPod Touch 1st Gen around to test, so we decided against supporting it for this initial release. The next release will support the 1st Gen iPod Touch.
Has the next version been released?
Yep, and the new version currently in the App Store supports the iTouch 1st Gen.
