Though I liked how professionally you concluded the thread, I think his/her point is very valid. It would have been great proof to people like me if you could have listed your app strengths and why those are important comparing with yelp, whether he/she will use your app or not secondary. Selling to tough masters is the key part of business, isn't it? Good luck!

Thanks!

So they say.

I'm operating under the assumption that people will like it, or they won't. People will either want a fast, visual, dead simple way to find what's around them, or they'll want to read reviews and look at menus. This will not be great for everyone, guaranteed.

Good. As long as you are clear on your target market, that is good.
