You can now use your iPhone to find restaurants in Bangkok in this new app.
The iPhone app called Bangkok Restaurant Finder should prove useful to people who are looking for a new place to eat in Bangkok. It has a search feature where you can find a particular restaurant by its location or cuisine. But, a cool feature is that it also uses GPS on your iPhone to show you on a map the restaurants around your immediate area. Once you have chosen a restaurant, there are reviews and pictures as well as other useful dining information. The app will also help you find restaurants with promotions. Overall, it is a good app though with more work it could be excellent. Many restaurants don’t have any pictures or reviews. There doesn’t even seem to be the ability to add your own review. Another minor point is that two restaurants marked as being near me are actually a fire station and someone’s back garden! The address seems correct but the marker pins on the map are way off. Again there is no way of reporting this mistake. However, as the app is free we cannot really complain. I just hope they will work on it some more.
wow thanks alot RB! this is totally something i need.
Unless you give them money, they won’t work on it.
I like the free application called Buuuk for use as a restaurant finder with reviews. Apart from just finding restaurants based on geolocation, Buuk allows users to create entries for new restaurants, vote on whether they like a restaurant, and also add reviews. Buuk includes many different cities right across Asia as well. I like the idea that Buuuk uses interactive crowdsourcing to deliver a constantly updated source of restaurant information, unlike “Bangkok Restaurant Finder”
