Sitting around on a Friday night wondering where to go out to eat is a hassle. First you have to figure out what kind of food, then where and finally the price. For those who are indecisive about where to eat fear not, Urbanspoon has been invented just for you. 

The app been seen advertised in Apple’s TV commercials and is the reason I knew about it. Being pretty indecisive myself, I thought this app would help me out. Boy did it.

 

The face of the app is much like a slot machine. With the built-in Wi-Fi already on the iPod Touch, the GPS can find out where you are and find restaurants near you.

 

The first slot is the location, the second is the type of food and the third is the amount of money you want to spend. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you can lock the price section and have the other two, city and type, spin.

 

Operate the slot machine by either jolting the device. To "shake" you could either physically shake the device a bit and it will spin or just press the "Shake" button. When I wanted to do it manually I got wrist whiplash because a gentle shake just didn't cut it.

 

On the bottom of the screen there shows the restaurant name, if you want to choose that location press the button and the app will start Safari loading the restaurant (if applicable) Website for you to see the menu, directions, etc.

 

Overall, this app is good for those who generally don’t mind where they eat and just want someone to tell them where to go. If you want to think more about the suggestion there is also reviews by other users that are added to the app and can be viewed when the Web page is brought up to the front of the screen.
