The Ministry of Foreign Affairs State of Kuwait (MOFA) released an iPhone app today on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr. I’m impressed that they actually released an iPhone app but I would rather have a Ministry of Interior app which would allow me to save my two cars in it and have it automatically check daily if any of my cars received speeding tickets and then warn me with a pop up notification and a beep. Ok maybe that’s asking too much but still a nice little app that would allow me to check my traffic violations conveniently would be pretty cool. Here is the link to the app [Link]
Here are the links to my two apps:

Kuwait Blogs
Update: Just noticed something funny in the app. When you click on the Embassy Search link you get a list of countries… but they’re not in alphabetical order. I actually can’t think of an order they’re listed in. I thought they were listed by Kuwait’s favorite countries but if that was the case USA and UK would be higher. By popularity? Don’t think so since Egypt would be much higher on the list. Distance? Nope. Random? Don’t think so since the first few countries are GCC countries. Can anyone figure it out? Here is the way they’re listed:
UAE
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
Qatar
Oman
Lebanon
Syria
Jordan
UK
Thailand
Kuwait
USA
Australia
Canada
Germany
Spain
Egypt

holy shit dude that was quick, you can delete my comments then lol
it’s because i’m up working late on my computer 🙂
LOOL mark nice hint to the government to make another app 😛
MOFA sounds more like slang than a Government Office..
wow, some high official their surly loves mac:P
Whoop Whoop datsa sound of da police!
It might be by the distance of the embassy from a certain point in Kuwait?
nope. for example the embassy of UAE, Canada and Egypt are very close together (near green island).
it is in order of favorite countries
after 2008 when the economy went bust and the housing price got higher
more people couldn’t afford going to us + uk
I think the order is based on the representatives first name..
why is kuwait on that list.. it doesn’t have an embassy in kuwait? or is it the MOFA address?
i liked that when you are offline you can see a snapshot of the location …as a first application among ministries two thumbs up .. although it needs some enhancement and more functionality
Its location based. You can see the location indicator on your screen capture (next to the Bluetooth icon).
Maybe theyre listed according to the location in kuwait .. 🙂 idk where they are so this just a guess.
Ia this a captured pic for the app? How can I take screen shots for the content displayed on my iPad?any specific software? I know there is “capture it” for the Blackberry but I’m not sure about the software name for the iPhone or the iPad!
