Total Hotspots launches on Rummble API, going straight to 4th top utility in AppStore

Total Hotspots, one of  the leading providers of wifi hotspots data globally has launched its mobile application with Rummble.

Total Hotspots wanted to be able to provide its premium database to iphone users to help them to find pay for or free hotspots anywhere in the world. Normally, they would have had to build an entire application themselves including all the associated location based functionality. Instead, after a chat over beers in the MySpace Bus at FOWA London 2008, THS decided to utilise Rummbles LBS platform and API to rapidly roll out an App.

The wifi finding iphone app launched on Friday 30th January 2009 and was briefly featured on The Gadget Show on C5 that same evening. Since launch, in just 4 days it is now no.4 in the appstore for utilities which is fantastic news!

The Total Hotspots app is the first official use of the Rummble API which will be available for publicly very soon. Meanwhile, if you want to get started using the Rummble API please contact us.

The Total Hotspots app is a branded version of the base Rummble App, with added functionality specifically appropriate for the Total Hotspots use case. Alex Housley (Founder and CEO at Total Hotspots) paid tribute to the Rummble team, including our Design guru Ben Hull saying: “He [Ben] attacks front end visuals with the ferocity of a wild buzzard.” ..thats the sort of impassioned feedback we at Rummble treasure!

You can download the Total Hotspots app from the app store today for just £2.99.

We also had coverage of the launch courteous of the TechCrunch UK, Mike Butcher and the team.
