    @eggrolls78 Thanks for your input. It’s always important to know how we can make our products better and help our customers!

    Nice app with a great layout and design but the fact that its limited to Zagat only makes me hesitant about getting it. If you could link it to other sites like Yelp in addition to your own I would be all over this ting. I am a huge yelp fan, so incorporating other review sites would only make this app more popular. Just my 2 cents.

    @pj221 Great image of Times Square. Maybe it will happen even sooner :)

    I downloaded it and it is pretty cool. I am imagining times square in a few years with hundreds of people spinning around with their phones =-P

    i got it, i see, but its gonna be fun to play with it though lol thanks

    It should work with a wifi connection, but the application is really for on-the-go situations, and in those cases, it’s unlikely that there will be an Internet connection. To verify all this, you should check in one of the MyTouch forums.

    if I dont have data service, can I still use it? maybe wifi will work right?

  14. zagatbuzz July 31st, 2010 12:40 pm

    Wait ’til you try it.

  15. zagatbuzz July 31st, 2010 12:59 pm

    Playing with the app because it’s fun to see it locate the eateries it’s facing, many :) Otherwise, it enables users to see what the choices are around them without spinning around.

    woww

  17. vsm9o July 31st, 2010 2:04 pm

  21. zagatbuzz July 31st, 2010 3:13 pm

    If you get the phone, download this app and check out the ratings and reviews for the restaurants in Time Square. There are also photos. That might make you feel better.

    you made me miss times square thanks

  25. daivuk July 31st, 2010 5:37 pm

    I don’t think iPhone as a compast. So it can not orientate itself like that.
