Yelfie 101

Image
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. Yelfie shared on Twitter from iPhone (below) an...

Deleted HEB Photos

Image
I feel disconnected after seeing duplicated biz pages for one location. There is no way to merge these 2 H-E-B pages. I post a review at the correctly named biz page " H-E-B " which started 2010 (see photo date) before the other one just " HEB " in 2011 (see photo date). Then, H-E-B claimed the biz page that has more reviews and renamed it with dashes. I reported to have them merged, but got denied. That's why I deleted the photos to give me room for correct experience with my review. HEB 1 - June 24, 2015 HEB 2 - August 9, 2014 HEB 3 - June 14, 2014 HEB 4 - May 27, 2014 HEB 5 - October 1, 2014 HEB 6 - Monster pumpkins on display - September 13, 2014 HEB 7 - Really creamy and yes, hint of buttery flavors. - April 21, 2015 HEB 8 - July 5, 2014 HEB 9 - Roasted delicious corn - from $3 each small to large - June 21, 2014 HEB 10 - Crawfish on sale - May 27, 20...

Last 90 Days Stats

Image
Wait. What is this? Is it a math problem for me to solve? No way, who put this thing in the middle of my profile? This is a new feature for app users only - Last 90 Days. No worry. This is a new tool to show how your Yelp contribution being viewed. It's like a website counter for each element: reviews, photos and profile. So, I captured the images from iPhone and Android to share with you. It appears the website has same info. Woohoo! I captured some Q&A from my Beta App Group: It updates once a day. Only shows other users' views, none from me. Everyone can see it. Yes, everyone. Here is how the number crunches: Someone looked at your profile multiple times within the 90 day period counts. But someone looked at your content repeatedly in a short time won't count. HQ has a blog to share  http://officialblog.yelp.com/2016/01/how-many-views-do-your-reviews-get-find-out-now.html So far, I only find one news helpful. I think we are going to hear more about i...

In Tacos We Trust

Image
Taco La Bala #6 located at 5515 Gessner Dr, Houston, TX 77041 in the Carverdale neighborhood is the cleanest restaurant of the Taco La Bala chain. Not because it's newest, but the customers kept this place orderly. And, best of all, this is my favorite spot for dinner. Here is my review . De Trompo = hard to say how it tastes, because it was all mixed up ( photo ) Fajitas beef = highly marinated but mostly dry beef pieces. ( photo ) Deshebrada = Shredded beef is juicy and tender. ( photo ) Chicharron = Pork skin taco has a unique texture. ( photo ) Barbacoa = slow cooked beef ( photo ) Pollo = Chicken fajita taco - a little dry, but still tasty. ( photo ) Lengua = tender beef tongue with mild flavors ( photo ) Tripa = Tripe ( photo ) Vegetarian variety - all avocado. Tasty with a squeeze of lime. ( photo ) Cochinita Pibil = slow-roasted pork with zesty seasoning ( photo ) My favorites are Deshebrada, Cochinita Pibil and Lengua

iPhone Photo Bug

Image
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."

Imperial Medical Center page

Image
To HQ, Where was the page I added http://www.yelp.com/biz/imperial-medical-center-sugar-land It's redirected to  Imperial CPR Training Center . CPR training center is at suite 220. As soon as you sent an email to confirm the  page I added on August 6 was approved. However, it was redirected. My intention was to mark a general area for this awesome location. So, all of my check-ins, tips, photos and video are merged with a place I never intended to be. Imperial Medical Center exists on Foursquare , why couldn't it be one on Yelp? Please remove the redirect and restore the link. Thank you.
