CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on February 27, 2009
Yelp for iPhone contains all the ingredients you'd expect from the well-known site for users to rate local business and restaurant listings--except the ability to create a rated review from the iPhone or iPod Touch. Two new features provide a workaround--one lets you write short, 140 character tips and observations; the other lets you begin a rated review and save it to finish and post from a computer.
Apart from that, the iPhone app cleanly features user-reviewed listings for restaurants, bars, banks, and so on, utilizing the iPhone's GPS know-how to target your current neighborhood. Each listing squeezes in the address, user ratings, distance, and price range. Mapping capabilities show you how to get there, and a calling button can help you make the reservation. New feeds featuring your activities, your friends' ratings and tips, and rating and tips by everyone for businesses nearby brings the app some of the same social networking qualities as its beehive online. In addition, certain scheduling capabilities would be welcome--like sending a listing as an invitation for lunch.
