Android smartphone/tablet app test users required

    I am currently a 4th year Informatics student at the University of Edinburgh doing my Honours project which involves creating an Android smartphone/tablet app aimed at cyclists.

    The project aims to adapt a currently available system in Minneapolis called Cyclopath (http://cyclopath.org/) to Edinburgh.

    Cyclopath is a map which is maintained by the users and allows people to add cycle routes and share them with the community as well as make changes to the actual map such as tagging roads which have cycle lanes or are currently under construction etc.

    I am looking for some people to test this app on their smartphone or tablet and answer a short questionnaire.

    You can download the app here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10098681/CyclopathED.apk

    and find the questionnaire here:
    http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7XJHQBJ

    Installation Instructions:
    1. Navigate to the link on your Android device browser to download the app.
    2. When download is complete, open the file and tap install. You might be prompted to enable 'Unknown Sources' when trying to install the app. You can do this by going to Settings -> Security and checking 'Unknown Sources'.

    Anyone is welcome to test this app. I would be hoping to get your feedback over the next week or so.

    Any help is greatly appreciated and you can email me at s0950134@sms.ed.ac.uk if you have any questions or just post here.

    Thanks a lot
    Sam

    As an iPhone user I can't play...

    I'm sure some of you will and see how this one compares with http://edinburgh.cyclestreets.net/mobile

    I suspect that http://www.openstreetmap.org will always have more data/details.

    I'll give it a wee interrogate but off the gun. The dropdown menu at the top is black text on dark grey background. Can't see it very easily.

    Hi
    Thanks for your feedback. I have updated the app with some bug fixes and changed the colours of the interface so it is easier to read. You can download using the same link if you like.

    I would be grateful if you could fill out the questionnaire if you have time.

    Thanks again
