For anyone who has an iPhone, the Yelp app is a must have! You purchased this device to stay connected and have all the information you’ll ever need right in the palm of your hand—this app has you covered anytime you are looking for a nearby restaurant, bar, coffee shop, bank, gas station or drugstore.
Anytime you are taking a stroll around town and feel like the urge to eat, just turn on Yelp, let it find your location via GPS and voila! You are presented with 7-10 restaurants within walking distance of the exact spot you are standing. Each listing also shows you how users from Yelp have rated the restaurant. I don’t know about you but I have always found Yelp to be very helpful and generally right on the money when it comes product/service reviews.
When you scroll through your dining options and choose one, you are then taken to a page where you can view approximate cost, all reviews about the restaurant, their phone number and their address. If you click on the address, you can see how close you are to the location via Google Maps. Pretty fancy huh? Click on the phone number and you call them instantly. What a great way to arrange a quick reservation!
The only drawback I would say about the app is that you do not have the option to write reviews. I am a Yelp user and wish it had this feature. That way when I’m on my way home or waiting for my check I could give my 2 cents, or at the very least give my star rating.
Bottom line: this is a must have. I cannot give it the highest grade because it has crashed on me a couple times and I wish it had the capability to write reviews. But it helps me find exactly what I’m looking for, with user ratings from a web property I trust.
8/10
