The final topic of the iphone application has been chosen. The application will be partly based on the Stella Artois 'Le Bar Guide' application, but it will focus more on music. The features of the application will be the following:

  • Receive a list of pubs in the area. The radius of the area can be configured. The default radius could be up to 2 km. Instead of a list, you can also use a world view (camera view) showing your current environment overlayed with labels showing pubs in the area.
  • You can select a bar from the list and hear the music that's currently playing in the bar.
  • You can ask for route directions to the bar. The route will be presented on a map. The music will play in function of the route. When nearing the destination pub, the music volume will grow louder. When moving away, the music fades away. Instead of the map, you can also switch to the 'world view' which will show you an arrow and the remaining distance towards the pub.
  • You can filter the pubs shown by the genre of music they are playing or by the similarity with a certain song. You can also rate pubs and order them by rating or by the average amount of visitors they get.
  • You can indicate your visit to a certain pub and share this on Facebook or Twitter. This way, you can invite your friends over and in turn they'll know where to find you.
  • You can gain achievements and share these on Facebook or Twitter as well.


The achievements aren't fully decided upon yet, but some possibilities are:
  • City Hopper: Visit pubs in at least 5 different cities.
  • Pub Hopper: Visit over 5 pubs in less than 5 hours.
  • Restless: Visit more than 10 pubs in a single city.
  • Recognized: Visit the same pub over 10 times.
  • All the king's men: Visit at least 50 different pubs.
  • Home sweet home: Visit the same pub over 50 times.
