- 27. One of the best apps I’ve seen. Beautifully engineered, Ness is both attractive and intuitive. It’s easy, quick to use, and the interface has a minimalistic beauty to it. Some users are going as far to call this the best app in the App Store while many others have already made this a favorite. What users said
- 28. With a beautiful and sleek design, this intelligent and intuitive app will leave you stunned. The reason why this app is better than Yelp isn't just because it recommends places to eat, it's because the entire interface is designed around the idea of actually helping someone decide where they are going to have their next meal, rather than providing a list of different options that is too taxing to sift through, and too boring to spark an interest in the next outing.
