We're Updating.

We have a great new update in review with Apple as we speak right now. We have made the UI much easier to use plus added some great features. On the web site we already added Kid Menus and Restaurant Reviews, courtesy of Yelp!. Now we have added those great features to the iPhone.

I know you will like the new design. Instead of everything being on one page, we've broken it up. When you first launch the app, the Nearby is still the same. After choosing an offer, there are up to four screens you will have. The first screen has the restaurant name, address, phone number and the days the offer is going on. Tap the screen again, it becomes larger and you're able to add to your Favorites, call the restaurant and also see Yelp! reviews. Tap to go back.

Flick your finger to move to the next screen which is the information about the offer and the voting tools. If the description is on the longer side, you can also tap to enlarge. Flick again to get to the Map screen. You can tap to also enlarge, then you're given two buttons, Show Route and also Show My Location. The last screen will be the menu. Again tap to enlarge. If the menu is large you're able to scroll to see it all.

We have also added an extra button to the navigation bar, Favorites. You can add your favorites by tapping on the first screen to enlarge is. The star about 3/4 of the way down will turn yellow to show it's been selected. If it's not what you wanted you can always tap it again to deselect it. As you add favorites, a number will show up on the favorites icon.

You can see a sneak peek of the new update here. If you would like to see more screen shots you can always find me on Twitter, I'll be happy to send you more or answer any questions you may have. Don't forget that we are always looking to hear from you on how to make our site better. Be sure to click on the Feedback tab to share.
