Online local guide Citysearch is joining the “iPhone wave” to allow users to “easily access rich, local editorial content, browse nearby listings, sort by preferences and write reviews on-the-go.”
According to Dinesh Moorjani, VP of IAC Mobile (owner of Citysearch), they did their best to build the most convenient and trustworthy local city guide on the iPhone. “As consumers grow accustomed to relying on mobile devices to inform urgent decisions and share local, user-generated content, Citysearch on the iPhone and iPod touch empowers users with mobile reviews, featured write-ups on local neighborhood venues and hyper-local content including user and editorial reviews,” he added.
Some of the Citysearch app features include:
