Summary

You’re looking for a nice little Italian restaurant in your ‘hood? Or the nearest cocktail bar after going to the movies? Or a hairdresser who has gotten some good reviews?

Qype Radar is the answer! Find the best your city has to offer—you can trust evaluations made by over 200 000 Qypers! Thanks to an Android phone and a built-in GPS, you can take advantage of this option in your immediate surroundings.
 

Features & Use

Section rating:

Even though the app’s functions are really diversified, they are nonetheless focused on the basics, so it works well when you’re on the go with your phone.

The functions are:

• You can browse through 21 different categories, from restaurants to exclusive clubs
• You can access 500 000 different evaluations
• The evaluations are based on a 5 star system and give you detailed information about the places(s) you’re interested in
• You can check out the necessary contact date: addresses, telephone numbers…
• If so desired, locations can be viewed on the integrated Google-Map

Qype can be combined with Android’s positioning option. This adds an additional benefit to the app, making it much more useful than the web application.

 

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

The screen looks really clean and well-arranged. Using the app is fast and easy, and comes across as very intuitive. Qype’s design and navigation leave nothing to be desired.

 

Speed & Stability

Section rating:

As long as you have UMTS, you won’t have any complaints about the speed or stability of this app, even though this it version 1.0, based on the first Android version (RC30). However, If you’re using a GPRS service, you might encounter a few hangers and misfires.


 

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating:

The app is free for use and to download, so long as you have a data packet or data flatrate. If you don’t have this it might get a bit pricey.

You can obtain Qype Radar from the Android Market.

No lost password retrieval? this is a great application, but I lost my password, and I can't get into my account. Can you incorporate a loss password link on here so it can send your forgotten password to email addresses... ??

Super I really love it. So sometimes search function is irritating me. Earlier it was easier to locate yourself on map to some other place, not where you are now. But otherwise good.

This is a great app for doing my qypes. It is a bit limited on functionality so I have to use the website still.

Addictive and helpful If you're new in a big city this is really really helpful. It's far from perfect but I still give 5 stars because I'm using it all the time
