A new, free location-based services iPhone app called Vidappe new press release ["Vid-app"] sends users discount notifications and reminders in real-time as they go about their day. Vidappe has stored the discount data for 130 of those cards and sends the user a warning whenever he is physically near a discount relevant for him. Many plans are produced when the conceiver feels the necessity to correct some injustice in the world. Vidappe is no exception.
Only in this case, the injustice just applied to the originator, Star Li, when she realized she could have been getting cash back for all of the money she spent the first three years of college if she had just used a money back card rather than a ATM card. After the waves of irritation and queasiness passed with the realisation that she could have saved some money if she had just used the right card, Star performed some research and discovered something even more fantastic – a ton of cards, not just mastercards, offered their cardholders great benefits in the form of free concessions. Metro transit riders were able to receive free reductions all over town simply by showing their transit fare card, student IDs authorized their card-owners to save, even library cards managed to moonlight as discount cards. Nobody knew their MTBA CharlieCard let them save about 160 different diners, museums, and stores all over Boston. Nobody knew their Brooklyn Public Library card allowed them to save at different shops all over Brooklyn. And maybe worst of all, very few scholars and teachers were conscious of the fact that showing their college ID let them save more than 15% at such stores as J Club Monaco, Ann Taylor, and more.
Perhaps this injustice didn't just apply to Star anymore. 
Why were not these deductions more utilized? The reasoning usually came down to one thing — there were far too many kickbacks to keep control of and folk just didn’t want to make an effort to work out where exactly they could save. Star decided to fix this problem. She wrote a business outline for a mobile app that would consolidate all of the discount cards an individual was able to make use of and actively warn the user when he got physically close to any store that permitted him to save. She ended up winning the celebrated 2010 Cornell University Large Idea Competition with this plan and decided to get started on this idea for real a few months later . Star called her mobile app and the internet site that accompanied it “Vidappe.” . All the user had to do was download the app and subscribe to any card program (s) related to him. After that, he would never have to switch on the app to get it to work – the app would now work for him and send the user location-based reminders at his convenience.
For instance, he’d be walking down the street rocking out to some music and Vidappe would send him a push notification alert enlightening him that Chico’s Tacos two blocks away is offering 15% off thanks to his employee ID card. Vidappe has such a wide-ranging number of discount programs that almost everyone would find this app handy. Many of us are able to join one of these programs for free and just don't know it or possibly already are members and just aren't aware of all of the discount side benefits they can exploit. Users can also tell Vidappe what reminders they want to be reminded of in realtime. Need to remember to pick up milk or utilize a particular chit at the grocery? Type that into the Vidappe app and the user will be despatched a reminder alert as he gets physically close by so he will not forget. Vidappe is a convenient, simple, tool that will not only remember everything for the user but will make saving money nearly effortless.
