searchforsites mobile demo

Demo of the new version of the mobile app
Shows how easy it is to use and some of the new features I have been working on.
Its an unedited screen capture.

Nice one, when will this go live?

F ound it and updated my bookmark

It should redirect automatically where it detects a mobile device but can be used on a pc here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I have my browser set to display desktop rather than mobile sites thats why it probably didn't redirect me, saved the webapp page to my bookmarks now

Why is there an option to search for sites that don't accept dogs, would most not be searching for sites that do accept dogs?

Love it thanks Ian, will deffo come in handy on our forthcoming trip. 

Brilliant - hope to use it this year

Hi Ken
I think the majority of sites do accept dogs so it seemed better to show the exceptions as the list would always be shorter than the sites that do accept dogs

I have added two more features today to the mobile app.
An "Add to Favourites" button so you can build a favourites list, or a route itinerary or even a must visit list, plus a "Get Directions" button to show the google map recommended route. Should be able to add routing options as well soon (ie avoid motorways)

Understand what you are saying but how many would search for a site that won't accept them, can only think of someone who might be terrified of dogs, can imagine a lot of people search for sites that do accept them, we do all the time

Ken, The other problem I have is that as I have been validating sites, I have collected data for sites that specifically mention no dogs (Sites to avoid for us as we have two!) I could easily create a list that is the reverse but couldn't guarantee that a site would accept dogs (if that makes sense) But I'll take it on board and start marking sites that specifically accept dogs

Understand that, we have two as well, I always ask when I phone if it doesn't say anything on their website etc

Added the ability to refine the results by "type"
Types are categorised into two groups, 
"Motorhome Parking" 
This includes aires, wildcamping, France Passion pub stopovers etc, places where only a motorhome is allowed
 "Touring Pitches"
This includes campsites, Caravan club sites etc or wherever motorhomes caravan and tents are allowed

Great addition Ian, most helpful
