In fact, numerous MakeUseOf readers have often mentioned Yelp.
The reality is that Yelp is now much more than that.
Beyond searching for local businesses, members earn a certain status the more they review businesses.
The stronger your status, the more other people pay attention to what you have to say.
Maybe not yet, but things seem headed in that direction.
I was actually using a completely different mobile app on my Android called Where.
Once I learned about the Yelp mobile app for Android, I switched to using it immediately.
Searching for local businesses is as simple as either typing a keyword or typing in your town.
There’s even a cool slideshow of photos for most of the businesses listed in Yelp.
It’s literally a floating restaurant, permanently at dock in Portland Maine’s Old Port.
I may just post my own review!
Communities like Yelp that encourage local folks to review businesses are really driving local businesses to excel and compete.
Best of all, on the main Yelp page you’ll see a link for “Yelp Mobile.”
When you listen to local reviews for businesses, you will never be disappointed.
