We have as much data as Yelp.
> yet another application to sign up
There's nothing to sign up for.
- steakjern 12y ago> We have as much data as Yelp. Except reviews. For me, a star rating and menu suggestions are much more valuable choosing criteria than "pretty pictures". I'm having a hard time swallowing the minimalist design as a legitimate UIX decision and not an excuse for lack of content.
- aarondf 12y agoThat was kind of a joke, since we're built on top of Yelp. We made a conscious decision to not show reviews. Seems like that may be polarizing. Hopefully there are people on the other side who like that decision...
- acheron 12y agoI find Yelp reviews to be worse than useless [1] so I appreciate your decision anyway. [1] If I wanted to hear the opinions of self-entitled whiners, I'd talk to my ex (heyo)
- nilkn 12y agoI'm pretty sure the whole point of this is to avoid the groupthink of reviews (and all the drama associated with Yelp supposedly suppressing some reviews) and just show you the food. If it looks good, good!
- fourstar 12y agoIt's an iPhone app. I need an iPhone to use it. Your whole differentiation section is drivel. > We give you choices visually. Oh because Yelp doesn't have photos. > Our format is ideal for people on the go. Oh because Yelp doesn't have a mobile app or mobile website... > Our app works best for people who like to make their own decisions. How condescending. Sorry. I don't see how you're unique.
- aarondf 12y ago> Sorry. I don't see how you're unique That's ok! Isn't it fun how different peoples' opinions can be?
