I havent penned a poem in about 8 years but somehow this post inspired me to write a quickie again, I used to write all the time (on ACTUAL paper). My penmanship is near graffiti these days but as long as I can read it. :)

FastMall is the only app in the world with true turn by turn guidance inside structures. Nothing else is even close and PI doesnt offer it at all on any level. FastMall even does this without using GPS + lets you shake your iPhone to find, then be taken to the nearest restroom.

We are doing exactly this with FastMall which is available on iphone and ipod touch with android and blackberry coming soon. Our main niche is indoor navigation at shopping malls and areas without using gps. Working out deals to offer this type of coupon at the register is the next wave coming.

Not sure how many users they have but FastMall has 95,000+ users and been out for much less time then any others. There is no comparison between FastMall and any other app, its not even close quality, experience, functionality, community or robust wise. FastMall will be on Android and the rest soon enough as well as all other platforms.

@John and all.

FastMall is 100% free for everyone and offers 50+ features for malls, advertisers, retailers and users. Not sure where you got the idea FastMall charges per map, that is completely incorrect.

FastMall is by far the best app and technology without question on all levels, nothing is even close at the core, overall experience, design, functionality and features such as letting a user shake their iphone on our maps and we drop toilet icons then allow users to not only see where the nearest restroom is, but then take them to it turn by turn (and can offer niche deals along the way as well, fully trackable to send reporting to advertisers).

FastMall truly provides TRUE turn by turn directions at shopping malls and areas without using GPS.

FastMall allows users to check in at stores, malls, restaurants and even restrooms and offers users the ability to have the chance to get a gift card upon checking in which can be shared on the various social networks and in the app.

FastMall lets users remember where they parked their car and is a fully customized platform and interactive experience for users and retailers all over the world including the US, Canada, Australia, UK, France with Dubai, China, Singapore, Chile and many other countries around the world in many different genres. The technology behind FastMall is being adapted for several genres such as hospitals, concerts, airports, theme parks, sporting events and conferences such as CES, NAB and we will be attending WWDC in San Francisco in June and we are creating an app for that event as well.

We have a full custom advertising platform and full tracking built into the system which is being filled up with several strategic partnerships we have closed with mall ownerships around the world as well as sponsorships and other features to be announced as we release them publicly.

Feel free to ask us any questions about this platform directly any time - Mind (at) MindSmack (dot) com.

This is so awesome. There needs to be more Web/Mobile specific things on actual TV. We allow check ins at shopping malls now for our FastMall app now and believe in the "check in" big time. There is no doubt this Bravo/Foursquare show will not be very successful and hopefully it leads to great innovation across the board for new apps and tv to continue to merge and make all of this more fun.

Re: FastMall™ Helps iPhone Users Navigate Shopping Malls With Turn-By-Turn Directions, Shake Your iPhone For Restrooms, GPS Parking, Find Deals & More

mindsmack — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:38:05 -0000

Apple iPhone app FastMall is now 100% FREE for all shopping mall maps + 15 other new features.

FastMall is the first and only iPhone app that lets you shake your iPhone to find, then be taken to the nearest bathroom. It also provides turn-by-turn directions for finding your way inside shopping malls and around shopping districts in the USA, Canada and UK.

Have a stroller? In a wheelchair? Trouble with stairs? FastMall provides directions using only elevators when needed.

NEW FEATURES:

1 – Registration is now completely optional. If you want to be a part of the community, you can register with FastMall, login with your Facebook account or even login using Twitter account.

2 – FastMall now opens up in 2-3 seconds or less instead of 8+ seconds.

3 – Global notifications ticker. You can simply swipe your finger to turn them on or off. Tap on the scrolling text to view details of any notification.

4 – Shortcuts! You can now simply swipe your finger across any mall listing (blue menu) to show you easy shortcuts for mall info, restroom locations, restaurant information, remember where you parked, get deals and more.

5 – My malls section has been added. This section is to see all of your favorite malls in 1 place. Simply tap the add to “my malls” text link on the main menu for any mall and it automatically saves it to that section.

6 – Profile added. You can now select the photo of your choice and set it as your avatar.

7 – Add a VIDEO or photos to your review of any product, store, restroom, restaurant or anything else shopping related. We will post it in the app and on the website/youtube channel after moderation.

8 – Community features upgraded. You now have the ability to add/view reviews with videos or photos. Share on Facebook and Twitter as well or email any review to someone.

9 – Map icon filter added. This feature is located on the bottom right of any mall map. You can tap this icon to choose the icons you want to view on the map. For example you can removemall entrance icons, elevator icons and so on if you like.

10 – Select mode on all mall maps. This is one coolest new features that enable you to navigate around the map with your finger! On any map simply tap, then hold down your finger and drag your finger over the stores. You can see the store names on the map! Then release your finger from over the map and a pin drops onto the selected store!

11 – Check in at any mall or store! Similar to Foursquare or Gowalla, FastMall now allows you to check in and let the world know where you are! To check in you can simply go to any blue mall menu and tap check in, or on the store detail/mall information page, tap check in and your all set! A future version coming soon we will give you badges and rewards for checking in, look for prizes and lots of other fun to come.

12 – Add mall or store to the main menu of the app! Choose any mall or store that you like and add that icon to the main menu as a shortcut!

13 – You can then move any icon to the location on the main app screen by dragging them around. Similar to how you can move icons around on your iPhone, press and hold over any menu icon. You will see the icon “shake” and then you can slide them around to page 2 or 3 or wherever you want! Tap the red DONE button once finished and your ready to go.

14 – View the latest check-ins by users in the community section.

15 – Photo and video reviews of anything you would like.

iTunes link, make sure you have version 2.0 installed:
