Qype Radar Review
by on March 13, 2010
There’s nothing quite like Qype to make you feel right at home. The app, free on the Android app store, is one of the simplest we have used and unlocks the area around you. If you are feeling peckish and don’t know which restaurants are close by, load up Qype Radar, select Restaurants and let the app decide.
No matter where you are, Qype has a ton of reviews and information on offer and even some pictures of the places to boot.
Once you find the one you want, click on its address and it will show you on Google Maps exactly where it is.
The Simon Cowell of apps – this hotspot seeking tool tells it to you straight. Qype’s community decides whether a pub is good or bad, giving you all the information you need to suss out if a pint in the Nag’s Head is good idea or not.
As for pin-pointing your location, it had us a mere four doors down from where we were which is pretty impressive.
But it’s not just about hunting down the best eateries and boozers, the amount of local amenity info on offer is pretty overwhelming. You want a petrol station? It will guide you. A hospital? That’s on there too. How about a bicycle? Yup, yup and yup.
Consider us impressed.

iPhone
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.
Android
Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance
Android
Official EURO 2012 app

iPhone
pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
