Great use of the iPad’s strengths, finally a property search that works and is intuitive killing some of the pains of online listing searches (like searching, going back and forth between results etc). Well done guys!
A great additional feature would be to be able to select/draw a perimeter on a map (rather than postcode-based search), select criteria and then see results in the spiral.

@calorus Hi thanks for your feedback (even though it’s a bit harsh!) but we take your points on board. Different app providers have adopted different routes to interface with the iPad, but primelocation wanted to offer an entertaining and unusual way to browse property online and then, once users have found a house they like, go to our website and get the full details. We take your point on Flash, but that’s out of hands.

Pretty bullshit, it links straight back to the website, so all it does is make it take longer to see the details by adding an extra step.
More annoying, is that if Apple supported flash it would have been easy enough to make this the interface for the website, if (for some reason) you’d have wanted.

Well, I don’t understand why they didn’t start with an iPhone App, rather than with an iPad App. Would have been useful for far more people. I think Rightmove got this right…
