Have you ever been out with a group of friends, or your family, and nobody could decide on where to eat because nobody was too familiar with the area of town? Or maybe you just have friends that are indecisive and can't figure out which movie theater or bar to go to. With Places Directory, you can put all of the local favorites right at your fingertips, read reviews, write reviews, view photos, and get business information as well as directions right to the store.

Places Directory uses GPS location to determine your approximate location, and then returns results based on this information. Right when you open the application, you will notice a list of popular places, such as bars, coffe shops, gas stations, and even medical treatment. Once you make your selection, it will pull up a very accurate listing of the places around you, generally ordered from closest to farthest.

On the other hand, let's assume you've decided where you want to go, but you don't see that place listed in the app. Simply hit the menu key on your device, and then tap "Search" to manually search for the business. You can then pull up reviews, photos, and any other information stored for that particular business, or write your own as well. This also works well for people who travel alot, as you can even pick a location on the map and get search results and directions based on that point. Then, when you get to your destination, it's all right there waiting for you.

With places directory, you'll never again need to worry about not knowing where to eat, drink, or go shopping. It's all right at your fingertips, functioning like a well oiled machine. Give it a try, and you'll be astonished at the places you can go!
