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.

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
* * * * *   Matze, Oct 18, 2011
Ok, but... Doesn't like to be moved to SD card, eats memory even when not used (~10MB)
* * * * *   Nikki, Oct 13, 2011
Online it works But not on my phone. I love qype and use it often, but am a bit disappointed that I can't use it when out and about! The main page works but it never finds my location. I end up resorting to google places to work out what is nearby. I have a galaxy s2.

Tolle App, Fotoupload funktioniert leider nicht.
* * * * *   Daarkredeemer, Oct 8, 2011
Nice Works well but needs more entries.Also needs more caragories like outdoors.Seems the site is more popular in Europe.Try Yelp.
* * * * *   Wetch, Oct 5, 2011
Maybe it has potential but even though I have an account with qype the Android app won't let me login. Removing....

Can't fuck it off

Great app, wish I could update. This is bs, says not available in my country (Canada) yet the developer of this great app assures me that it should be available here.

Background process.
* * * * *   Nathan, Sep 6, 2011
Why must it run as a background process? Loved this app until I noticed it was doing this! Unnecessary battery drain+memory use. Uninstall til fixed.
* * * * *   Mike, Aug 19, 2011
Uses location to show you reviews of places nearby... cos its awesome like that! Excellent app!! Use all the time!! :-D
* * * * *   stefano, Aug 18, 2011
@Andrew: it should work in the latest version (v3.3)
* * * * *   Michael, Aug 17, 2011
AVOID!!! Why does it need my location when I just want to read a review??? Uninstalled - rather use the website!
* * * * *   Andrew, Jul 7, 2011
Great little app. Does anybody know how or why predictive txt doesn't work when writing reviews on it? This is the only annoyance I have with it
* * * * *   Rob, Jun 26, 2011
Only let's you find or review places nearby. Useless when looking for info about places elsewhere.
* * * * *   Paul, May 15, 2011
Helpful but database is rather weird. Big connection problems on three devices, 2nd or 3rd try works. Picture upload buggy.
