New Yorkers: Try the New Fast NA Meeting Search App!
Introduction
This is a free app that is designed to interact with local BMLT Root Servers, and provide fast, easy and attractive options to finding NA meetings.
There are different variants of the app; each one customized for a particular geographic/NA Service region.
The requirements for this app, are that the meeting list be kept in a BMLT Root Server, and that a variant of the app be created that points to that server.
Getting the App
Getting the app is a matter of loading it into iTunes, or directly in the App Store on your device.
The app is completely free and open-source. You can get the source code on GitHub.
Why No NA Logos?
The reason for this is simple. The apps are not being created or released by a registered NA Service body. As per the Fellowship Intellectual Property Trust (FIPT), non-NA Service bodies should not use the NA logo. I don’t feel like shelling out $550/year for a free app, so you’ll have to live without NA logos. Unless…
NA Minnesota has taken the extra step of registering an Apple iOS Developer Account in their name. This costs $99/Year (US), and has a fair bit of legal and technical stuff that goes along with it. Having this account allows them to release the app through their own Apple App Store Account (This link will open up iTunes), and thus, they can use the NA logo. Remember that the BMLT iOS app is a 100% open-source project. It is free, and it’s not a big deal for a knowledgable Apple Developer to take the code and modify it. It is designed to be easily localized and adapted.
