I do that thing where I pull out my phone and fiddle with it aimlessly; giving the impression that somewhere in that plastic frame is the answer to all my problems. This buys me some time to think and I come to the realisation that I don’t in fact know where we are going, I am stubborn, and maybe I should ask for directions; but I wont, because I can’t let her win. At this point I accidentally click an inconspicuous little app that I downloaded earlier called Spoonfed Radar, and the answer, and victory, has arrived.

Released by the guys at start-up Spoonfed, this app aims to answer the age-old question ‘What’s going on near me now?’ Spoonfed Radar provides detailed information about the best Live Music, Comedy, Theatre, Exhibitions, DJ Music and Beery Fun events across London. This can be done either through genre searches, or the unique radar feature, which pinpoints your location and displays everything that’s happening in your area. Once you’ve pinpointed a venue, contact information, weekly schedules, directions and more are immediately available. The layout is sleek, user-friendly and simple, and the information provided is very helpful.

I’m really impressed by this app, especially considering that it represents the company’s first foray into the mobile arena. It’ll be interesting to see how the app develops as the company grows and new features are added, though at it’s current state it is definitely a great app for Londoners to own. Spoonfed Radar is currently available for free at the iphone application store. For more info check out Spoonfed, or take a look below at the video promo below.

The debate rages on as to whether the iPhone could successfully smash scissors as well.
