TangoTab, the company that brings you great offers on dining out and then feeds the hungry when you redeem them, has just launched an iPhone app that is available in the app store now.

Their slogan is “when you eat, they eat.”

With the new app you can:

• Search for offers nearby, sorted by proximity
• Search for offers by zip code or restaurant name
• See the offers in list form or on a map
• See your current offers and offer history
• Check-in to redeem your offer when you dine or show your confirmation from your iPhone

According to their website, the company has helped feed over 60,000 people through various charities and foodbanks.

James West (@jwwest), co-founder of Sapling App has launched Treehouse Mobile, DFW’s newest application software developer for mobile phones and devices. The first product under Treehouse Mobile is a re-purposed Sapling for iPhone.

West was part of the Startup Bus team that began in Cleveland and made its way to Austin for SXSW in March.  The group was chosen as semi-finalists in the SXSW Interactive Awards competition and LaunchDFW recently sat down with James for an update.

West’s other two partners on the StartupBus have since opted out of the team for lack of central location, and in part due to their additional work load.  Some incubators had expressed interest when the application made the semi-finals; however, the incubators were not local and were ultimately ruled out. West continued to push forward on development for the app by forming a strategic partnership with designer (and friend) Sam Roh. They formed Treehouse Mobile together to pursue additional projects.

“Treehouse Mobile strives to make the user experience richer by providing methods in which communication becomes more pertinent and more valuable for the consumer.”  - James West, co-founder

West went on to describe the updated version of Sapling as a location-based deals engine, or a push version of Foursquare that alerts users when they are within range of a deal. The range can be set by the administrator of the deal from within a few miles to just a few yards.

James was kind enough to demo the app for LaunchDFW and I liked the very clean presentation and user-friendly interface. He demonstrated a deal he set up just for the presentation. I was impressed by the features which included a map with geo-location and a QR code provided for the user to claim the deal. Treehouse Mobile will further develop a mobile API, as well as a self-service browser admin screen for developers and retailers.

While a lot of the interview was spent on my fascination with the application and its potential, I tried to poke some holes in the product. For example, I asked about if it would be an issue that QR codes are still a new concept for many consumers.  James took it in stride and quickly explained the software will also allow merchants to use bar codes or even manually-entered coupon codes.

The application is set to debut this summer.  With a successful demonstration and huge potential for the product, we wish you good luck!.
