We are very excited to announce the release of our latest iPhone app: Air Advocate.

This little app packs some serious punch for any person who travels by plane — be one of the first to know about delays and cancellations, search for alternate flights, and click to check in!  We really pushed the boundaries with our experience in the travel industry to build this app.  It’s the only one that sends you a notification if your flight is full, and it even provides information about your rights as a flyer and what you can expect if you encounter tarmac delays.

Here are a few screen shots that show the beautiful design work by our design team!

What a week!  We are proud to announce Bump Networks’ second app release this week – Birthday Elephant!

We don’t know about you, but it can get tough trying to remember everyone’s birthday PLUS remembering to wish them a Happy Birthday on Facebook.  No one likes to be forgotten.

Automatic birthday greetings are posted to each one of your Facebook friends’ wall on the day of their birthday as long it is “Turned On” in your settings.

You know what they say – “An elephant never forgets!”…and Birthday Elephant NEVER will.  With a flick of a fingertip,  you can just as easily turn the greetings off.

Download your copy of Birthday Elephant from the iTunes store, or check out Birthday Elephant’s official website.  What do you think?

We are proud to report that technology provided by Bump Networks has been helpful to users across the globe in the wake of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Disaster Alert, a mobile app developed by Bump Networks for the Pacific Disaster Center, was highlighted in an article on USA Today’s website.

The Disaster Alert app is free to download and provides listings and interactive maps of Active Hazards (a collection of current and real-time incidents from authoritative sources which have been designated “potentially hazardous to people, property, or assets”) that occur around the globe.

The recent earthquake and tsunami events in Japan (and Tsunami warnings in Hawaii) have triggered a staggering jump in downloads for the Pacific Disaster Center’s Disaster Alert App for both Apple (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) and Android mobile devices. As many as 12,000 downloads were made on the Apple mobile devices, and more than 18,000 on Android devices.

Through this technology, people have the information to need to help them make important decisions in times of despair, and help others not in the affected areas keep track of loved ones across the globe.

Ray Shirkhodai, director of the Pacific Disaster Center mentions in the USA TODAY article that “information about events can be seen in the app up to 30 minutes before mainstream media can broadcast the message.” He even goes on to tell the story of about a user from Hawaii that emailed PDC, saying that he was able to fill up their car’s gas tank before everyone else even knew about the tsunami.

Be prepared for anything and visit the Apple iTunes store or the Android market to download your free copy of Disaster Alert today!

Good news, folks!  The iPhone Disaster Alert App was such a great success since its launch last year and Bump is proud to announce an Android version!
