Appstrakt Blog - April 2011

Hello to all future Mums and Dads! A mobile pregnancy app? Yes indeed, it is available, and it's called Baby Connection! Nutricia, your expert in baby food, developed the first iPhone app for Mums and Dads to be.

Baby Connection gets couples to experience those magical months together, even when you're apart. Draw up a personal pregnancy diary by sharing everything that's happening in that big belly. Mum's into crazy eating habits? Don't worry, Dad gets advice on what to do about it. Both Mum's and Dad's experiences get synced automatically into one common timeline. For a special countdown feature, put your two iPhones next to each other - you'll get to see your timeline on one giant screen!

But that's not all - keep curious friends and family up-to-date by sharing whatever you want via Facebook or email. Extra info and advice about the progress of your pregnancy is provided by Nutricia on a weekly basis.

A unique route planner that allows not for the fastest, nor the shortest, but for the safest route: talk about a smart application. With the iPhone app from Ethias, the Belgian insurance company, you can be pretty sure you'll reach your destination the safest way possible.

Ethias' app calculates a route for you that takes into account all so-called 'black intersections' in Belgium. Both verbal and visual notifications warn you when approaching such a dangerous intersection. With an extra speed notification, you can adjust how fast you are driving, which could also be useful when passing a camera - all of them are indicated.

But that's not all - the Ethias Safest Route app gives you the chance to add black intersections to the official list as well. If several users report the same intersection as dangerous, not only will it be added to the list - the coordinates will also reach the government. Indeed, this is your chance to urge these guys to launch some serious safety action!

With the help of an extra practical feature, you'll easily find your way to an Ethias office. Navigate through a list by street and by city, or read all contact information right there on your app.
