Welcome!
Welcome to the Events Finder blog. This is the first posting of hopefully what will be an absolute onslaught of awesome info – events info that is.
For those who stumbled on to this page inadvertently – we are happy to have you! Events Finder is an iPhone app (also works on iPod Touch) that allows users to find events from multiple event sites such as Upcoming, Eventbrite, TicketStumbler, etc… all in one app – and hence the tag line 
It’s absolutely free and you can download it by clicking on this link – http://appsto.re/eventsfinder (the link needs iTunes on desktop – ok if you are on an iPhone/iPod with Appstore). You can also check out our website at http://www.sputr.com/eventsfinder
The search -
The idea for Events Finder came when I was trying to find something to do one fateful weekend. I was leaving work and wanted to check out what was going on. I opened up my trust worthy iPhone and started looking on the Appstore for an app that showed me all the events around me – I looked at the eventful app and it had a decent listing of music events, some random business events to better manage time, and some more. There was another app called “Event Finder” (Note: without a “s”). This app was published by a developer and he was charging $1.99 for the app. So I figured it should be pretty good (considering most apps were $0.99). I downloaded the app and appstore wouldn’t allow me to get it. It said “The item you tried to buy is no longer available”. Oh well!
Disappointment
So, I spent some more time on the eventful app (I like their site!), but the events there seemed to be in no particular order and were showing me events for next month when I was just looking for something to do that night. Also, it seemed like most events were based around music and performers, which is great, but I couldn’t find any other types of events, which is weird because they have those on their site.
I’ll do it!
Having exhausted my options of finding some decent events, I went home and started looking online. And lo and behold I found like 5 sites that had all these great events. But, none of these sites (except eventful) had anything on the iPhone! I got a hold of my cousin and we talked about building an app that provides events from all the event sites in one single iPhone app! Long story short, after 3 months of toiling in xcode, here we are!
That’s all for now!
I hope you find events finder useful. We are working on adding new features and more sources. So, it’ll get better! If you have some suggestions or comments about the app, feel free to drop me a note
