Reviews
Rediculous
DaveyRocket88
This is the worst app I've ever had to pay for. I can't believe I hit get and its $15?!?! What the heck?! There's not even restaurant reviews in my STATE! Arizona. None. There's maybe like 12 states in America that even have reviews. And the reviews aren't that good! God I wish I could return this STUPID app.
Not great

Reviews aren't that helpful. Especially since it includes only a single quote from one chef even though six may have put it on their lists. The reviews do come from famous chefs, but so does Chef's Feed which is exponentially better and free. Filtering is also a problem, as is finding a restaurant that has more than one location. Overall I feel like this app is a fumble, but could easily be improved with updates.
Don't bother
Work wasted
This guide doesn't add much more to other restaurant reviews written about these restaurants. It also doesn't describe the meals in many cases or why the chefs made these choices. I wouldn't bother buying it and I won't be consulting it for advice.

Hangs on load screen. Asking for refund. Heed the other warnings. I didn't and just got burnt.
Great Info
Knowing fan
I use this both on my iPhone and iPad, and the map function on both causes the app to crash. Can't use one of the best features built in to the app.
Slow, odd, and impersonal

Really expected more from Phaidon. Programming: Slow, slow, slow ... and more slow. Click on "near me" and I am presented with a map of North America. Really? That is the closest you can get using location-based services? I'm in New York and you show me a entire continent? Content: It really doesn't live up to what you imagine it will be. Knowing some chefs, I find it fun to know where they eat. But the only recommendations near me in restaurant rich Westchester County are one pizza joint, Pain Quotidian and Blue Hill at Stone Barns? That is painfully thin. No personal isnight as to why the chef's recommended the restaurant, the kind of color that might start to make up for the thin, and sometimes bizzare recommendations.
