IS+, Chart the week ahead! An urban guide widget
We were suppose to post this up right up the Makansutra widget post a couple of weeks ago. Guess it kinda slipped my mind. IS + (pronounced as IS PLUS) was one of the app that we were commissioned to develop for SingTel’s Christmas promotion last year.
What’s the app about? Well if you’re familiar with our local KLUE magazine, they are something like that. Hit the read more link to read more about this app.
About IS+
“I-S Magazine is the No. 1 guide for busy professionals to get the most out of Singapore, distributed at more than 500 of the city’s best restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. With comprehensive and up-to-date details of what’s going on, what to do, where you should (and shouldn’t) be seen, it’s the indispensable source for fun.
The I-S+ widget on Nokia touch devices now gives you the ultimate going-out guide in the palm of your hand. Catch the coolest performances, be seen at the hippest openings, and party at the hottest bars and clubs with I-S+.

This widget is pretty straight forward. Basically it lists down all the latest happenings in Singapore, AND tells you how to get there using Nokia’s OVI maps. Here are some screens of the widget.
The loading screen
The splash screen, auto checks for latest updated widget
The main screen
The main screen is divided into 2 sections
We have the calendar ribbon that shows the user selected events that’s happening in the next 7 days. Right at the lower section we have the different even categories.
The submenus
Pressing on anyone of the event categories we’ll have the submenus. This will bring you to the even listings itself, see below.
Anyone remember James Ingram?
Selecting any one of the items available will load a detailed view of the said event.
Are they planning to come to Malaysia?
Here you’ll be able to call for more information or just save the contact to your phonebook. Clicking on show on Map will load up the Ovi Maps application and shows you the location of the event. You can use the map’s feature to direct you to the event.
Homescreen view is available for the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini
If you own an N97 or N97 Mini, there’s a homescreen widget as well. Basically it tells you the available events that’s happening around your area by tapping into the phone’s GPS system. As you can see, we’re pretty far away from Singapore …
In the weeks to come, we’ll be sharing a few more projects that we’ve been working on. If you know of any Malaysian content provider that would like to have their content translated for mobile consumption, don’t be shy, give us a call :)
