Mobile by Citysearch is a location-aware business and restaurant review guide on the Palm Pre. Like the “Where” application reviewed previously, you can find restaurants, banks, theaters, cafes, and other establishments close to your current location. It draws from the extensive Citysearch database and you can expect to find most establishments on this app. You can view both owner descriptions and user reviews for specific businesses. You can also find the address, telephone number, user rating (along with the number of ratings), and most useful of all: hours of operation.
There is a search function available from all screens. I find the icons and interface to be slightly more polished than the “Where” application, but the latter definitely has more categories (Gas prices, traffic, etc.). And again, for restaurants and cafes I would recommend the Goodfood application, which is really well done and polished. I have no doubt we’ll continue to see some more location-aware directory application sprout up in the Palm Pre apps catalog. This particular app is straightforward, easy-to-use, and polished. But lacks in breadth of categories.
