Seven days after submitting to Apple, the application is now approved and available for download on the AppStore.

For context, this was an idea SNinja had and I decided to write the app as a little experiment to iPhone development in a “real” way.  My goal was chiefly learning and to provide something that maybe my friends and family would like to mess around this — but who knows.  You can read more on the journey from Coding, Stabilizing, End Game and Releasing.

So what does the application do?

LocoFoto detects your current location and shows you pictures taken previously at the same location.

LocoFoto uses a number of photo services including Flickr and LocoFoto’s own photo service to provide a wide range of location- specific photos.

LocoFoto lets you to take geo-tagged pictures using the iPhone’s camera and add them to the list of photos at your current location.

iPod Touch users can upload pictures from their photo library, adding them to the photos for the current location.

LocoFoto automatically updates the photo list as you change location providing an exciting way to explore new locations and see familiar places in a different light.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can download the app from http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305227469

Version 1.1 is already submitted to the store (I want to see how long an update takes — and I have a fix to increase startup perf), so you may see a little update badge soon.
