Frozen
I just downloaded this app and was very excited to use itbfor my family's upcoming trip to nyc for christmas and it froze and will not reboot.
Love it
Organized and well curated lists to do in the city for fellow hyperactive New Yorkers. Excellent app to get you inspired and going. What an excellent resource!
Finally a NYTimes app that's good
Well it's hard to believe it took them this long to finally hire sone real interaction designers and come up with a useful well done app that doesn't crash or publish weird unfinished work as their NYTimes iPad app does all the time.
The NYTimes has the worlds best writers and huge stores of knowledge and resources about NYC and this app conveniently and simply puts many of them at your fingertips.
A few things I'd like to be able to set my own location so even if I am traveling somewhere else in the world I can get NY local info (and advise others). Currently only seems to read my GPS location halfway around the world and of course tells me there is nothing nearby. Also there should be a search by food type drop down menu so vegans or those who only eat a certain kind of food or are looking for a specific ethnic food can find it.
Overall I love this free app better than bigger clunkier (urban daddy) apps. I've already planned several day trips for when I return and can highly recommend you give it a spin.
