Smartphone App to Give Status of Gulf Beaches During Oil Spill

National Clean Fuels announced that the Company is developing a timely Smartphone app that will give subscribers live information on the Gulf of Mexico beaches during the massive BP oil spill. NACF has awarded Idea Apps Inc. the position of technical development partner on the project. The new Smartphone application being developed is named “WhiteSands.mobi”.

The WhiteSands app will allow a user to input a state, city and/or a specific resort type destination along the US Gulf Coast. The app will then show them whether the beaches are oily or clear and whether any accommodations that they may be interested in visiting are open or closed. The app will also integrate optional vendor input to broaden the information available through the application. In addition, the application can be applied to other coastal and/or disaster areas.

WhiteSands is initially being developed for the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.
