Ok 98 views of this topic and of the 98, no one had a comment or thought this would be a nice app to have on their N900 ?
To the 98 people, did you have no opinion at all, please vote using the poll if you would like it, i think it would be a great app to have if its possible.

well perhaps, but its poor show, id love to be able to come out of a show or restaurant and if i had a good experience or bad be able to rate it.
for example, say i wanted to look up pubs in my local area, this is a brilliant way to do it.
So I think not even saying no if a person didn't think it was a good idea is just plain lazy, I took the time to ask the question, 98 people decided to view the question, would it have killed them to tick a button ?

No public API from what I can tell. In fact, there is no information at all for developers. It's a commercial service (for businesses), so they probably want tight control over the information.
Most of the applications for these kind of services are proprietary (either developed in-house or contracted out), so there isn't much chance of third-party alternatives.

Perhaps, i was not able to find anything but would be somewhat unusual to keep it locked from 3rd party apps, their app is free.
If there is no api id say one may be coming soon as the service grows

thats not the point....at all
Someone is asking a question about the possibility of an app and what do people think....and people dont give a toss as you put it...very nice community this place is turning into if thats the case.
Seriously if you look at the question how hard is it to interact, why does it take me having to take this approach just to get a response

If you can reason you can code. If you can't reason, then it's cool, keep begging, but expect less than nothing.

thats a bull **** answer and you know it...look at people like Tommi who has made TwimGo, he is making steller apps, answers every tweet and encourages ideas for apps.
if the N900 had more apps like his and the like thats on other platforms them Maemo would never have been let die.
instead whats happens when someone asks....will its clear to see.
The vast majority of people on here are great, however there is a rotten tone of late engulfing the community.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:49.
Is anyone working on a Rate My Area app for the N900 www.ratemyarea.com
Its a great service website for reading reviews of your local area, there is an iPhone app for it, so probably there are API details to allow access.
Anyone want to give it a shot, id do it myself but dont know the first thing about coding for Linux
Thanks
Colm
