Mind The Queue - Use time more efficiently


This app allows real time input for wait times at a particular institution. Upon registration (and it’s possible to register with your Facebook account, to make it fast and easy), you can select the place in question using a master list from Yelp and add the current wait time at the tap of a button. You can also search for wait times either by distance from your current location or by name.  The app also lets you know where the business is relative to your current location via a map. Don’t get lost (and no need to wait on arrival.)

Another nice feature of Mind The Queue is direct access to the Yelp directory, including reviews, for the businesses you might be searching for. Not only do you know the wait times, you know their Yelp ratings so you can determine for yourself if the wait is worth it and what may await you once there.

Obviously, not everyone reports on the wait time at a business at all times so the app also gives you an average wait time per report so you can at least get a sense of what you’re in for if you decide to go there. You can favorite a business or location for quick access to know the required investment of your time.

Mind The Queue is a good, original idea and I look forward to more people using it so we can also use our time more efficiently. What are you waiting for? It’s a free app!

Instagram for Android updates UI

Instagram for Android has been updated and has been given a much cleaner looking UI. You’ll no longer have to rely on third-party tweaks in order to get the same look and feel of the popular photo and video-sharing app. According to the Instagram team, the update not only brings with it a UI overhaul for Android users, but also provides a faster and more responsive app. Profile screens will also load twice as fast and the app size itself has been cut in half. Finally, the Android version of the app gets a much-needed overhaul. Initial tests on the updated app confirm what the Instagram team had posted: it is definitely much faster than it was before it was updated. And boy is it pretty to look at now.

Tweet View Counts to iOS App

Image
Twitter is currently experimenting with a new feature that, like posts to Facebook groups, shows users just how many times their individual Tweets were seen by others. It's a move that, while useful, is sure to send some users – this author included – into a spiral of depression upon realizing that, no, your friends might not really care that much about your 140-character insight. According to reports from numerous Twitter users, a new "# views" item appears beneath the content of one's post – but above the left-facing arrow – for those using the official Twitter app on iOS. For those using Twitter in any other capacity, like posting or reading via good ol' Twitter dot com, the official Android client, a third-party app, or any other creative means for accessing the service, the view count currently appears to be an exclusive test – or full-fledged feature – on the iOS app. If we sound a bit lacking in detail, that's because we are. Twitter's roll...
