Hungry For - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

I was a computer programmer in the Air Force back in the late 90s/early 2000s. I got out and started working in restaurants, but have done coding projects on the side.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

Teaching myself the code, and figuring out how to achieve what I had envisioned in my head.

_{Brandon Vandrey}

I'm a family man just writing code to make the world a better place.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

'Tasker', for the scripting aspect on my phone. 'Wunderlist', it works seamlessly across all my devices. All 'Sirnic' games, they're just clean and addictive.

How long have you been working on this app?

Five plus months.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

I wanted to find a better way for people to select what food or food establishment is nearest to them according to what they like and what they don't like.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

I don't know of any other food app that takes into consideration your likes and dislikes and adjusts the results for you. Not only can you use it personally, but you can connect groups and the app will show you what restaurants all people in the group can agree upon. All the other apps just show you what's closest or show those that paid more for their advertising.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Cloud storage for backing up friends, and connecting to friends via connection/text rather than manual input of a code.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

I want them to use the app, and share it with their friends and family.
