I don't disagree that there's plenty that remains to be fixed on Apple maps in terms of location-data and business info for those locations. On the flip side, I've been waiting for Google to update the business hours for a business I work with for over two months despite submitting multiple requests for the correction. As far as Google is concerned, they're closed on Sundays.

This verges on nitpicking.

I have lost score on how many times Yelp has glaringly gotten business hours wrong, for hot restaurants in major neighborhoods.

This from a website whose whole purpose is to help customers find businesses.

Frankly, business hours are a some what tricky problem as it is purely up to the whim and fancy of the establishment, when it wants to stay open or when it wants to have reduced hours or when it wants to be closed for business.

I wish businesses and restaurants were required to maintain minimum standards of serviceability in this and many other regards.
