How it works

Rockmarble retrieves the list of your favourites artists from Last.fm and downloads their tour dates.

All the data is stored inside a sqlite database, hence you will be able to access it also while you are not connected to internet.

Event locations can be seen using a satellite image. This feature is provided using QtMobility.

Rockmarble is also able to spot your current location and find all the events that are scheduled in a certain radius from you. You position is retrieved using QtMobility. Currently QtMobility relies only on your device GPS, but in the future new location providers will be added.
