Yelp app updated with lots of fixes and improvements

You are here: Home / Social Media Articles / Yelp app updated with lots of fixes and improvements

August 31, 2012 //  by Mike Allton

Reading Time: 1 minute

Yelp released another udpate to their mobile app today, version 6.1.0. In it, Yelp states:

“We know you guys are super bummed about the cancelling of Jersey Shore, so we thought we’d cheer you up with a hot new update from your friends at Yelp.”

The update includes:

  • Leave comments as you check in for your friends to see
  • Add tips more easily right after checking in
  • Check in and leave check-in comments from your iPad
  • Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements

Yelp is a social network, like Foursquare, where users are encouraged to check-in wherever they’re at. Yelp can be used to find restaurants, entertainment and other forms of businesses within a user’s area.

The take-away for business owners is that Yelp is making an effort to make it even easier for Yelp users to talk about you and your business “at the point of sale.” Previously, Yelp users had to submit their reviews directly from the Yelp website, but now they can leave a comment at your location right when they check-in.

If your business operates a physical location where users can and should check-in, make sure that you’re taking advantage of the Yelp experience and encouraging happy customers to check-in and leave positive comments. Have you set up or checked your business profile on Yelp? Are you getting traffic from Yelp?
