Actually, I find loopd to be the most useful application of iBeacon I've personally used so far. It's been on my phone since monday and there are about 400 contacts already.

how is it going, ayhoung? are you one of developers?

thanks! yeah i'm the lead dev behind the app. We're trying to make the best face-to-face networking app for conferences, trade shows, etc. Let me know if there's anything else we should add, we're adding features like mad!

Can you remove/align the localizations on the phone number in loopd? I'm in Australia and can't put in a phone number.

Looks good otherwise, I'll try it around Sydney tomorrow.

yeah it was an oversight to lock it into US-based numbers! We'll release a version soon that has more support for international numbers

you are killing it. animations are so smooth. and it doesnt eat my battery like other apps I used before.

since you know this stuff really well, could you recommend some good articles about ibeacon? what did you use to build your app?

oh, and by the way. do you have an api? I'd like to build import to my basecamp account.

we only have evernote / csv support at the moment, but we hope to integrate CRM systems soon like Salesforce and Basecamp!
