It’s no longer called Sherpa. it’s called Geodelic.

For those that use it, which do you recommend: Geodelic, Where, or Aloqa?

As of 4-19-10, still not recognized on Droid. Will look at Google Places Directory instead. Thanks for info feedback, all!

Hmm, I have it on Sprint. Might have been preinstalled, I don’t remember if I downloaded it or not. At any rate, maybe it is exclusive to some networks or phones.

I really like Google Places Directory better, though, because of the dataset issue I mentioned in my previous comment. Places works best when you search versus browsing the categories.

Mistakenly we listed it but it’s exclusive to T-Mobile. However the creators of this app will be release a Mon carrier specific version soon.

This is another app I find many reviews on, but am unable to find it in the Android Market from my Motorola Droid phone. Has it been taken off line?

At the time of this reply, DROID is the only retailed and released phone with Android OS version 2.0, all others phones and carriers support 1.6 and lower. Google didn’t release version 2.0 until 10/27/09 and developers have to scramble to learn what’s changed and update their apps. The sad part about this is most devs don’t know their app is not compatible until they start getting negative reviews.

I would encourage emailing the deveoplers (which you can find their email addy on the page in the Market) to let them know your problem. A majority of them will take the time to work with you to prepare a fix.

What does being on a DROID have to do with it?

If on computer try scanning the QR Code on your monitor with Bar Code Scanner for direct link in the Market. Or try browsing this page from your phone and tapp the QR Code for direct link in the Market. Also, are you on a DROID?

Does not show in the marketplace. This problem also occurs when searching for the Layar Augmented Reality Browser

This is not in the Android Market. I have tried searching with no luck. Even went to Androlib.com and found it there and followed the barcode with no luck. Market keeps coming back that the app can not be found.

I’m wondering where Sherpa gets the catalog of businesses? I was trying it out standing across the street from a popular, 100-year-old Italian grocery and it didn’t show up on the Sherpa search. Some independent businesses did show up. Is the database based on who bought a listing?

Wish we could add our own locations.

Otherwise, it seems like a really good app.

App is not up to date, there are places that have been gone for two years that still show up, and local places that have been around for over a year that do not show up. Google places does not look as good, but is more accurate
