Over the fall quarter of 2012, we created the Bank Failures app for iOS. I thank a colleague of mine for the detailed graphics and CSV parsing library we ended up using extensively for this and other apps. The idea is very simple -- banks have been failing at a very fast pace since 2008 and there is no easy way to access this information in an organized way to search or simply filter this data by year or by state.
Since we were applying techniques in iOS development, we decided to leverage this need while at the same time applying advanced UI techniques in iOS such as UITableView among others. A recently blog covers some interesting details with UITableView's.
The following are some screenshots of the app as submitted to the Apple App Store. In a future blog update, I will decompose the entire application from the nightly process which pulls bank data from us government web sites to the filtering, tab views, etc.
