Metrocket is a software development company in Atlanta, GA focusing on the mobile platform. It works with companies that have data perfect for mobile phone applications but that have yet to adopt the platform.
Metrocket has two iPhone applications, iExit and Live Music, in Apple’s App Store. It is currently working on a third, Better Birmingham, which should arrive in the App Store in mid March, 2010.
Better Birmingham is a “Government 2.0″ iPhone application that helps bridge the gap between Birmingham, Alabama citizens and its local government. Citizens who spot a problem in their community can take a picture of it, write a brief a description about it, and then, with the help of the iPhone’s GPS device, send it to the appropriate person in the appropriate local government.
iExit is an interstate-based travel guide iPhone application. It informs users not only what’s at upcoming interstate exits, but specifically how much longer until their favorite stops. iExit has been reviewed by CNET.com and is consistently in Apple’s top 50 paid navigation apps.
Live Music informs users of upcoming local concerts by pulling data from Pollstar.com. Search through all upcoming concerts in your area, or filter concerts by just the artists found in the iPhone’s music library. Live Music also provides ticket information when available.
