A Consumer Product Recall Application – Data.gov with Monotouch

After watching the PDC keynote earlier today and listening to Vivek Kundra speak about that plethora of government data sets that are available, I decided to check out www.data.gov. One thing that caught my eye was the product recall data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. I figured it would be useful to have on my phone, especially with the holidays coming up, so I decided to build a quick app for it. The code is based upon my earlier fast scrolling post where I ported the Tweetie fast scrolling pattern to Monotouch. Otherwise, it’s a pretty straight-forward tab controller application. It shows product recalls sorted by date across several categories.
