Apps: "Around Me" Review

By far the most useful app I've downloaded to my iPhone is something called "Around Me." The app uses the phone's GPS to help you find things around you that you need. Such as the nearest coffee house, bar, bank, gas station or even parking lot.



The thing that makes it so good, aside from the simple user interface that requires no typing, is that it actually works. I use it constantly, often just to see if the results jive with reality. And they almost always do.

I've used it to eat lunch in Dallas and park in Los Angeles.

"Around Me" is app building at it's best. Useful, simple, intuitive and functional.
