We currently have HTML-based apps for iOS and Android, using a wrapper. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features. If you're an iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone developper, we'd very much welcome you :-)

== Android and iOS ( PhoneGap ) ==
=== Who we are - Core attributes ===
[[Mobile_App/Core_attributes]]


Application mainly dedicated to the collection of products: barcode scanning , sending photos, input basic informations.
== Mobile web version ==


The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova) to be packaged for Android and iOS .
See [[Project:Mobile_version|the Mobile Web/PWA version]]


Phonegap can be used on other platforms ( Windows Phone,etc…) But the app also need BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin.
== Distribution ==
* We want to widen distribution, pragmatically, to more people who might not have Google Play: [[Mobile App/AppStores]]

[[Category:Developer]]
* App on the Apple AppStore : https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/open-food-facts/id588797948
[[Category:Project]]
* App on Google Play: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openfoodfacts.scanner http://fr.openfoodfacts.org/images/misc/android-app-on-google-play-en_app_rgb_wo_135x47.png]
 
 
== Application for Google Glass (modified Android app ) ==
Google Glass is the ultimate and efficient product collection method:
* Ok Google, Scan this product.
* Ok Google, Take a picture.
* Ok Google, Take a picture.
* Ok Google, Product Name: Pasta Carbona Weight: 500g Brand: Leader Price.
* Ok Google, Save and send to OpenFoodFacts.
* Bang next product .
 
A developer began a somewhat related application : https://plus.google.com/116935303826575659970/posts/Q9my4128soE
 
== Moving from a wrapped HTML app to Native Apps==
 
A native application would allow a more fluid use ( PhoneGap app is actually running in a webview , a kind of Web browser, and is suddenly relatively slow and sometimes unstable ) .
 
== Applications dedicated to uses other than the collection ==
 
 
=== Large public Application :  information consultation ===
 
Display nutritional traffic lights etc. .
 
=== Large public Application : augmented reality ===
 
* Information display overlay product .
* Ongoing trial with Moodstocks . First tests rather conclusive: the products are easily recognized when the camera passes over ( without scanning and without taking a picture ) .
 
=== Application for people who have difficulty reading ===
 
* For people who are blind, have difficulty reading when it says very little that can not read.
* Demo of Speech-enable app on Android http://fr.openfoodfacts.org/js/off-vocal.apk
 
== Features to add ==
* Modification of existing products ( image rotation , selection of specific areas, filling fields)
* The application asks to photograph a specific part of the package when the product is marked incomplete
* The application offers simple visual recognition challenges that can supplement the missing data ( ie: What brand ? What weight? What protein value ? Which of these images is the nutrition ? Which of these images is the ingredients ? )
* Photo Mode (it never leaves the camera mode, with a simple tap to take a picture , and there is a button to change product )
* Off-Line Mode to scan products with limited or no connection.
 
=== Other Apps? ===
 
* Calculation of calories and other nutrients
* An offline version ( avoiding making an internet connection for lookups)
