The Villages Media Group just released an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch app for the businesses in Spanish Springs. The story is in today's Daily Sun; Section C1.

I downloaded it already, just to take a look. It's their first attempt at an app.

Go get it [Apple App Store] and lets discuss it....

I just searched for "Villages" and it came up on the app store. You might try "Spanish Springs" to see if that gets it

It looks as though what is up now is pretty much the shell --I assume it will be fleshed out with current info --restaurants need to include menus, shops need to include sale and coupon info, entertainment calendars need to be current. It looks as tho tge app was just launched so I imagine it is introductory at this point?

I have it loaded for future use. Now they need one for LSL and the stores throughout the Villages, especially phone numbers...and coupons for the eateries.

Not sure why the Media Group would release something like this, if it wasn't complete. Plus, put a big story in the paper about it.

Personally, I think you're seeing the finished product. Their creative group needs a couple 12 year olds to help them with design and content...

Poster's on TOTV sure are a critical group.

Sorry Boogie, I don't mean to be too critical...

I guess I expected a little more from a multi-million dollar media machine like the Villages. If they just scanned TOTV and listened to their potential audience, they would developed a different app. All in my opinion.

Just downloaded the APP and I think it's going to be very helpful. I'm sure there will be constant updates and I hope there will be one for Sumpter Landing soon.

Thanks MEMason! Those of us who are "away" right now probably don't see the newspaper.

Remember, this is an app. It will not be updated, on your system, unless it's upgraded via the app store and downloaded to your iPad. SInce it isn't a website, it won't be updated by the potential merchants.
