Do not be curious for to long...If there is not an app yet you can bet someone is or will be developing one. Let me know if you come up with one.

One that had the windshield graphic that you could tap repair locations...that would be handy.

With Swipe, you can enter information that customizes the app for use with any business or industry. For example, I entered all of the types of repairs that I typically do, (e.g., rock chip, bulls eye, star, crack, etc). Each one of these repairs has an associated price. I also entered a category for travel so I can tack on an additional amount of money if I had to travel further than usual or pay a bridge toll. When I am ready to charge the customer's credit card, I just type the first letter or two of the type of repair, and the full description appears on the credit card bill along with the cost. You can manually enter information as well (if you wanted to charge more for a longer crack repair or a more involved combination repair). The main point is that it can be customized any way you like, making it specific to windshield repair.
I do have to admit, ATX, you peaked my interest regarding an app specially designed for windshield repair -with some custom graphic, though I'm not sure what else it would include that can't already be customized with some of the other credit card apps that are out there.
