Lou MC Yelps a Lot

I'm addicted with #Yelfie. I wrote a blog last December about Take a Yelfie . Since then, there are so many good things happening. So, let's start with how to use it. First, you need Yelp app on iPhone or Android phone. Second, check in at a biz. Click on the rectangle on the upper left side. 4 easy steps on Android phone. Easy to use on iPhone as well. Third, point at an object what is a least 5 feet away and tap on the circle button on the bottom of screen. Fourth, take a selfie of you or something within 2 feet (flip the camera). Fifth, edit your Yelfie with the features available. see below. Feature  on  Android phone - move biz name & selfie photo Feature on iPhone - change font on biz name & move selfie photo. Finally, tap "check in" or the check mark. Your Yelfie will be shared to the destinations of your choice. Yelfie shared on Facebook from iPhone & Android phone.

How cool is that? Take a Yelfie to proof you were there. Read this blog on Yelp . Well, it's kind of annoying at first. But, okay. I admit. It's fun once I get used to it. Taking this Yelfie bumped my data usage. I noticed this on a recent Android release 9.0.1 in December. But  someone  in Canada received this feature in November. Huh. Nu Ice has free WiFi. Don't expect my Yelfie at all check-ins. The only time I can share Yelfie is when I find free WiFi to use. Sorry.

It's pretty neat to see it on an Android app. Let's compare them: Go to the Talk with lots of links. Click on one of the links and watch it on your phone.  See? Android on the left; iPhone on the right.

Has this happened to anyone? I'm using iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.2. Yelp app version 9.5.0. frustrating experience on iOS app Photo above showing the sequence: trying to upload a photo preview turned 90 degrees posting still 90 degrees posted shown 90 degrees if I modified it from an editing app, the photo shows ok. This issue started after I updated it on 3/17/15. I reported next day (ticket 3345385), after I uninstalled/reinstalled and restart iPhone. I reported another bug for version 9.3.0 on 3/17/15 (ticket 3337194), "After reading an external linked web page, I got a black screen as I clicked on Back." The resolution was to uninstall and reinstall it. Update: On 3/19/15, I received an email from Yelp Support, "Our engineers are aware of the issue and working to fix the problem soon."
