Yelp’s New App update is already causing a stir (like Facebook) with some user’s who are used to the old app. On their iTunes download page it says the new app is filled with awesomeness:
This update is literally filled to the brim with awesomeness. We’re not joking — we had to get an intern to stand on the top of it just to get it zipped up and shipped to the App Store.
☆ We’re rolling out a brand new business page on iPhone! Boom.
I don’t use the iPhone Yelp App too much but I wanted to check it out quickly before I updated it, then see what changed with the update. Right away I noticed a cool swipe feature to view the restaurant information and an easier to read, more functional layout. I looked at some of the reviews on the iTunes page and I’m hoping they are not referencing the new app because I don’t see any issue with the way it works! Here are some before/after pictures I took. What do you think about the update?
Are these customers really angry about the Yelp App Update or are these reviews from the old version? I think they corrected a lot of mistakes and problems with the app, including having everything on one page so you don’t have to jump around…

Nice Update And All But:
Why can’t I have the option to directly post the review to yelp. I’ve stopped reviewing places because it’s a pain to only draft then jump to a web browser to finish it. FIX THIS ALREADY!
Wish they would add an option to show places I’ve reviewed in the search list so that I can try and review new places.

Yelp has pulled a Facebook! I very much hate the new update. The listing page for each business takes too long to load. You have to click a second button to read through the reviews. They’ve emphasized “tips” and they’re handpicked (always flattering) review highlights. I find it harder to get to the core content of the user reviews!

Jesus Christ. I could care less who’s the “Baron” of my location and it takes up valuable screen space. Please provide an option to hide this for the adults that use your app.
