July 4, 2011 No Comments

It is the Fourth of July today and that means that most of us are preparing to have people over to celebrate Independence Day. That equals tons of cooking/ BBQ and we have a few apps here that can help you out with your food preparations today.

Foodspotting

App info:
We created Foodspotting to make finding good food easier: Instead of reviewing restaurants, you can recommend specific dishes and see what others have recommended wherever you go.

Foodspotting’s debut on Windows Mobile features a beautiful, streamlined finding & sharing experience and enables you to…

Find recommendations:

See the nearest, latest and best dishes around you
Search for a particular food that you’re craving
Look up a restaurant and see what’s good there
Use the map to explore the best dishes anywhere
Bookmark foods you “Want” to try

Share recommendations:

Take photos of foods you love & share where to find them
Recommend foods others have spotted

We hope you’ll find something delicious! And be sure to look for updates: In future versions of the app, you’ll be able to browse your “Wants,” see when others want or compliment your recommendations and follow friends & experts like the Travel Channel and Top Chef.
