This app is limited to the Barrington area but is very thorough. I live in this area and didn't realize there was such a diversity of businesses. Much better than the online yellowpages, and much more local especially with businesses without a web presence. The interface is quick and organized. It uses an interface that most seasoned android user will have seen before from a variety of apps. I like the fact that the buttons to get to directions, facebook, twitter, etc are big and spaced out nicely. It makes it much easier to navigate while on the move or just in a hurry. Hope to see an expanded area in the future.
