Yellow Pages: Near Me
The directory of the Yellow Pages is well known throughout the world. However, when all that information is combined with the possibilities of smartphones, its potential it multiplies. This is demonstrated by the application Yellow Pages: Near Me, a complete tool that not only offers information of interest for the user as address or phone number, but instead shows it on a map, indicates what's closest near and a nice list of options further.
All this is done through an application with a careful visual aspect, characteristic of Pages Yellow, but somewhat overwhelming And, from the beginning, the options are all displayed on the screen, which can be somewhat complex In the first moment. Although you only need a couple of uses to get familiar with the different menus. Thus, in this main screen we find three parts differentiated to find everything that is sought, if possible near the user
At the top of the screen we find a simple search engine to find addresses, articles, services , etc You only have to write in the bar what you want to find, although, if you wish, it is possible dictate to the phoneby pressing the button with the microphone.If more information is known about a particular local, it is always possible to click on advanced search and specify the location, the district, or even the name of the company.
The central part displays on various screens a series of icons in which the restaurants are grouped , ATMs, subways, shops, theaters and other types of services All this through a couple of pages that you can switch between with just a slide of your finger. Once the specific service has been found, all that remains is to click on it to find the one closest to the user. By having technology GPS, the terminal locates the user automatically, showing a list of those services according to distance In addition, there are two buttons to locate that place on a map of Google Maps and know how to get there, and another to use the Augmented Reality and know the location of the service through the photo cameraof the mobile.
Finally, the lower part collects three tabs to organize the application. Home leads to the main screen where the functions described above can be found. The second tab, Street, displays a map in the middle with the current location of the user. Meanwhile, the icons of the services already mentioned appear at the top, showing themselves on the map just by touching the desired one. Finally, the Leisure tab is exclusively dedicated to cinema Here you can find screen and movie search engines to find all the offers available on nearby billboards.
In short, this is a very complete and useful application, especially at time of travellingUndoubtedly, the highlight is to offer information close to the user, even if to do so some time is wasted searching among the different menus that presents the application The good thing is that it is developed for most platforms: Android, Nokia with operating system Symbian and for iPhone In addition, is free for all of them.
