Love food trucks? We’ve developed an app for that! The app gives you the ability to see the most up-to-date list of food trucks on the streets and parks of several US states.
It also allows finding all of your favorite food truck vendors and delicious street eats on a single map, say closest to work or gym.
Just because a café or restaurant is on wheels doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be on a map.
Let’s dig a little bit deeper into this app with our video test-drive:
The iPad app we created for our client is a collaborative art project dedicated to focusing on the past, present, and future of randomly selected city blocks.
Our crew and the client are very excited about the app’s sleek design, user interface, ease of use, and overall speed. But don’t take our work for it – watch the app in action in the video below:
Audio Toolbox Framework – provides interfaces for recording, playback, and stream parsing. In iOS, the framework provides additional interfaces for managing audio sessions.
Quartz 2D – a two-dimensional drawing engine accessible in the iOS environment and from all Mac OS X application environments outside of the kernel.
