Just like my other apps that have gone v2, SG Blood is upgrading to v2 too!

SG Blood is an app for blood donor, and was first released in Jan 2009. I didn’t update the app much over the year, partly because it works well and has no bugs, and partly because I have no improvement planned for it.

But today, I am proud to announce a new feature for the app: Checking blood stock level!

The feature is kindly provided by donorweb.

I had an interview with mypaper 《我报》 in an article on 18 Mar, 2010. They have interviewed me over the SG Blood app that I had developed one year ago.

I have always reminded myself what a friend once said:

You do not have to be a teacher to contribute to society. Everyone has his own ways.

Creating SG Blood is my way, using my skills as an iPhone developer.

More socially conscious apps on the front page.

  SG Blood is an iPhone application that I have developed for regular or new blood donors.

I had this idea of developing blood donation app when I know about the Nuffnang blood donation drive. I did not participate in the bloggers blood donation, but I did feel how heart warming it is when a community set out to do something good.

I hope iPhone community can achieve a similar feat.

Lastly, you might not like certain ways the app works. But there is only one objective for the app:

Give blood and give life (:
