I just added a colorful feature to my free NYC buildings app: a kind of noiseometer! Each building has one of 10 colors, according to how many 311 Noise complaints were submitted in the last 12 months. There’s also a setting for Heat/Hot Water complaints.

My thought is that this might be useful for someone looking to move in the five boroughs. In any case, this update gives the app some much-needed color!

I'd love to monetize it because I'm unemployed but also want it to be accessible and not riddled with creepy spyware.

Any thoughts from the indie app dev crew?
