Recommendations
Sherpa
Sherpa for the HTC Evo and Android is an intelligent recommendations application that suggests activities and events based on what’s around you at any given time. Sherpa pulls in location-based information from local business listings, concerts, restaurants, and numerable other sources. As you use Sherpa it learns about your preferences and begins to suggest events based on your past choices. As you see recommendations from Sherpa, you can train it by hitting the thumbs up or down buttons for each suggestion. Next time around, Sherpa will remember your preference and avoid or highlight locations and activities based on your choices.
The interface to Sherpa is carousal based, with various categories rotated into view and displaying information below the carousal. There is a lot of data and information presented in a single Sherpa window, and the developers have paid considerable attention to the ease-of-use and design of the interface. Sherpa can also act as an active discover app (you could normally just let it run in the background and offer notifications) that lets you find new restaurants and businesses close to you. Thus replacing many restaurant-finder apps while doing much more. Sherpa is a powerful HTC Evo app that really does turn your phone into a “smart”phone.
