If I were you I'd switch the main focus. I use iMessage to chat about where to eat. If we're in a place we don't really know then yelp is my to-go app. It has more info that I need and it works well. In zero case I'd need to download another app just to show me pictures of food or names of restaurants nearby. Do you get that one? So since you already have everything, your app is out, coded, showcase-able, etc. "All" you need to do is to tweak the use case a little bit in order to make it essential for someone who's looking for a place to eat. Bring value on top of what's out there. That's why an app with coupons would go viral before a scheduling app for example. Make it a game where the app picks everything for you based on people's tastes and in only one click you can book a spot and pre-order a meal. All you have to do is to get to that place and that's it. The app would be a personal assistant with an actual first name and it would be smart enough to do all the research for you in order to present a meal you and your girlfriend would like, different from what you guys had previously. It would give you price details, what people think about that meal and place, etc. Again, based on some settings/profile you would have to setup at the beginning in the app. It would also learn about where you went, liked and disliked and re-ajust the future choices. So your new use case would be something like: "Hey Siri-for-restaurant, what should we have today? I'm with Kate". "Hey Bob, how are you today? You guys should try that pineapple fried rice chicken at the new place called the Hipster Asian-fusion-Mexican Temple located on market and washington st. It would cost you guys $40 with desert and a beer. Do you want me to book it for 2 at 1pm today?". YES/NO. Done.
