Gift Card Reminder

An Android app that reminds you when you have a gift card to a store you've just walked into.

How to use

  1. Download the APK to your device and run it to install the app
  2. Open the app

  6. Click "Add"
    In the background, the app queries the Google Places API to find the 20 nearest

    The coordinates of these locations are saved locally in a SQLite database
