I’m so happy to announce that the official Food Truck Fiesta iPhone app (iTunes link) has been released! This app is quick. When you open the app, it puts you right into a google map and the food truck icons instantly drop into their real-time location. Tap on any food truck icon and you’ll see the truck name as well as a blue arrow that leads to the real-time twitter page for that truck. Get the app here or just search for food truck fiesta on the iTunes store!
The app is selling for $0.99, but I am going to host many giveaways for a code to redeem the app for free! So, keep an eye out for that. I’m planning on giving away at least 1 app per week.
This is version 1.0 of the app and I’m looking for feedback on how to improve it in future versions, so don’t be shy! 🙂

Awesome!!! Going to download it in 5 seconds… If I’m your first customer do I win a prize? 🙂
Yes you do! In the form of a LoveDrop 🙂
Android, please!!!
Does the app work with VoiceOver? I am a blind truck follower (I use my nose and the eyes of a friend), and use my iPhone for email and lots of other activities. I can only use apps that work with VoiceOver, the built-in screen reader from Apple. I will check it out. Much thanks.
Don
Agreed. Android plz.
Jake: I’ll add it to the list of things I need to do! Especially since I’m going to be buying an android phone in a few weeks when my AT&T contract is up.
Don: Thanks for the heads up! I only have an iPhone 3G, so I can’t try out VoiceOver. But, I’m thinking that this app won’t be much of use for you because it opens right into a google map without much text. Let me see what I can dream up to help you out. 🙂
Sweet! You will enjoy the Light Side just as much as the Dark Side. :-p
Thanks!
Another vote here for an Android app. And soon!
Nicole & Bujebaby: I hear ya! Android app coming soon. 🙂
Thanks for the Android love! Can’t wait.
The app link no longer works and I can’t find it in the iTunes store. Is is still available? It’s a great idea since I hate following each truck by Twitter — info overload!
ST: If you don’t have iTunes installed on your computer, the link may not work for you. When you click on it, a little box opens up asking if it’s ok to load up iTunes.
But, if you go to iTunes and search for “food truck fiesta”, the app will show up!
Thanks!
I have had the app for about a month and it has worked maybe 4 times. All other times I try to open it and states it is loading then shuts down. It is not worth buying.
Hi JL, I’ve actually had the same thing happen to me too! The problem is that when I’m in a low or no-signal area (where iphone data is not working), the food truck app can’t download the truck location data and it just exits after a certain amount of time.
I’m working on an update to the app to add some features and I’m also going to include an alert when the iphone can’t download the truck data so that at least you know what the problem is.
Thanks!
Is there an app in the works for Android?
EL: Yes! An Android app is in development as we speak!
yes… another suggestion to add an android app.
Excitedly waiting for the android app! Happy to pay $1.
