StreetFlow 0.9 – Update

I was looking at StreetFlow today and realized that there are a few features I didn’t notice when I did my first review of version 0.9. One of the features includes default images for some restaurants, if there has not already been an image submitted by a user. There are even different default images based on the type of restaurant. Also, when you tap on a comment, there is the option to add that person to your Friends List. Until I saw this feature I was always confused on how I added people to my Friends List, now I know! I’m not sure how I missed these features…I’m guessing the application didn’t update properly and when I restored my iPhone yesterday and installed it from scratch, they showed up. Either way, still one of my absolute favorite apps. StreetFlow is available through the AppTapp source.

The update to version 0.9 of StreetFlow does not make any visual changes to the app (at least from what I can tell!) It does however change the app from the iApp-a-Day source to the AppTapp Official source and makes it a Featured Application in the Installer. Which I was happy to see. Since the day it was released, this remains as one of my favorite iPhone applications!

I already know this is going to be one of my favorite apps and I have only been using it for a little while! StreetFlow is an app that locates dinning establishments based on your location. It also includes a rating of the restaurant and comments from others who have been to the restaurant. When you open the app, it will take a few seconds to find your location. It will then display a list of restaurants starting with the one closest to you. From the list, you can tap on a restaurant to get more information like; the name of the restaurant, the address of the restaurant, it’s rating (based on a five star rating system), a list of comments and the ability to add a comment. If you would like to add a comment, just tap the plus icon in the upper right corner. You can then enter your comment, attach a photo to the comment and rate the restaurant. If you would like to call the establishment or see where it is located via Google Maps…just tap on the blue arrow next to the name of the establishment. You can also tap on a comment to see the entire comment or to mark it as inappropriate.

The feature that I look forward to using is the Search feature. If you tap on the white search bar, you can then type in what you would like to search for and it will bring up the most relevant restaurant based on your location. If you notice the a restaurant you really enjoy is not on the list, you can easily add it to the list by tapping on the plus icon in the upper right corner. There are also two option on the lower menu bar; Friends and Recent. Honestly, I’m not exactly sure what friends are or how to add them! But, the recent options is very cool. It will show you the ten most recent entries added to the app…no matter where they are!

So far, this app seems to be working great. People are leaving honest feedback and even giving suggestions on what to order at a particular restaurant. You must be registered with the app to add a comment and/or add a restaurant. It uses the same User ID as Wallpaper and Collage. If you do not have a User ID already set-up you will need to do it through this app, it will prompt you when you tap on the plus icon. I think this is going to be a great little app! StreetFlow is available through the iApp-a-Day source.
