Contest Details
Hestia is looking to grow their "mobile" application and provide some simple and userful "Tools" that their community of Builders, Contractors etc. can use with their mobile devices. We are looking to you (the Studio Community) to help us come up with some cool concepts. We are planning on building these tools to work on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android. We are looking to take advantage of the device features such as the GPS, camera, accelerometer or touch screen etc. Our initial thoughts are on different types of mobile tools like calculators, measuring tapes, thermometer, converter unit, clinometer, scanner etc. Bring some new ideas to the table that will help Hestia B2B customers!!

Note: While we are looking for useful/helpful/meaningful "Tools" - we are open to some "fun" tools that might be great Hestia Community builders.
