"Where you wanna eat?" — an APPropriate answer is coming soon

So we launched this little venture a little less than six months ago. And when we launched it, almost immediately, people began to ask us "Are you going to have an iPhone app?"

Our answer: absolutely. Hopefully soon.

We realize certain things about our site beg for a mobile app. Right beside our logo is the question "Where you wanna eat?" Now when someone asks "Where you wanna eat?" it would be kind of strange and laborious to answer "Well, I'm not sure. Let me go home and look up WacoFork on my computer and that will give us some options." No. That's going to cause hunger-induced screaming.

We want our WacoFork nation to be able to answer. "Ooh! This gives me a chance to use this fantastic WacoFork app that I just downloaded." Then the group will be able to carefully consider all that the Waco restaurant landscape has to offer.

And that, friends, is close to being a reality. It's difficult to say how close because it's sort of pending approval of the App Store.

For the moment, I wanted to let you know what to expect. Please remember, this is just Phase 1. It will be useful, but it's not the ultimate of what we will offer in a mobile app. As stated earlier in this blog, when the app comes out, it will give you a comprehensive look at the restaurants in Waco, broken down into the same categories as we list on the website. To add to that, it will allow the user to read reviews of those restaurants.

Where you wanna eat? We're hoping the make the answer the best one possible for you and your friends.
