New App for Tracking Wal-Mart's Ammo Availability

[honsoworld]

Hello everyone! I’ve been an avid reader on this site for months, and I think I’ve finally got something worthwhile to share with everybody.

I’m a computer science student at Purdue, and one of my final projects this semester was to develop a mobile app of some sort. Given how hard it is to find ammo these days and how I detest wasted trips to Wal-Mart, I decided to make an app that would track Wal-Mart’s ammunition inventory.

Right now it is tracking over 200 ammo products from 3,600 Wal-Marts nationwide and is able to update availability information once an hour.

You can check out the mobile ready website at

Or install the Android app from Google Play.



INGunOwners is the first place to know about this new app. I hope it can be a useful tool for folks!

Any plans for an iphone/ipad app version?

Installed and works nicely, congrats! And to .

Just one problem, all the .22lr in Lafayette is solid red. Couldn't you have used a more 'soothing' pastel to give us the bad news?

Unfortunately I do not have an iPhone to develop with. However, most of the functionality is available from the website. For now, adding a bookmark of the website to your home screen will at least remove some of the browser controls that might get in the way of navigating around the mobile site.

Gotcha! I didn't even think to try it from the web site. Heck of a first post honsoworld.

Looks awesome. I have done some iPhone development, mainly .NET though. Let me know if you would like help porting the app to iPhone and/or Windows Phone.

Windows Phone would be nice

Windows Phone is the best, but typically as a developer you make the app for the device with the highest market share first.

Pretty sweet. Could use so UI tweaks to make it easier to read/use, but overall its great. Also are you at the mercy of Walmart to supply price, title, package size (ie 100ct, 20ct), bullet type, etc? Would be nice to see some more uniformity there too.
