Introducing Award Rooms (Android)

Hi All,

I would like to introduce a small project I am working on, Award Rooms. This is an Android app, which shows hotel from several major programs on one map along with points requirements.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rdassist&hl=en

At this moment I am showing hotels from SPG, Hilton, IHG, Club Carlson, Marriott/Ritz and Hyatt. The hotel database will be updated every few month. If there will be an interest in the app I will add other programs or an iOS version based on feedback.

I would appreciate suggestions/bug reports.

Award Rooms is Android only, no website. Awardmapper is web only (I could not find app version). Other than that - similar.

I will try to do something for iOs, but it may take some time - i have no experience in ios development. maybe by the end of the year. It would also be good to get get feedback on android version to see if people are interested in development of the app and what features might be useful.

Yes, the number of points is for the standard room. Not every program has charts for higher level rooms, so I decided to only include basic rooms. At the end I was positioning these tool for enthusiast who just need a category
Do you think it make sense to include the charts or higher level redemption options?
