Is there a pet store locator app
« on: January 05, 2014, 09:21:54 AM »
Kind of far fetched, but does anyone know if there is a pet store locator app for smart phones? If not what a great app that would be to invent. I would use it all the time.

I've tried to use google before and instead of pet stores, it listed grocery stores with fish for sale.

I've had luck by searching for "Tropical Fish Store". This usually gets rid of the fish markets. If you are looking for any salt water things, I search for "saltwater fish" and it usually returns the best results.

Tried searching for "tropical fish" about a year ago.  Evidently salmon are tropical.

Maybe I'll get together with a few programming friends and work something out. It seems like something that would be very beneficial to everybody here and others in the hobby.
