Atlanta Magazine Launches Dining Guide App

Last week, Atlanta Magazine soft-launched its Dining Guide for iPhone, saying, "Don't let just anyone tell you where to eat." The snazzy App provides a vetted guide to hundreds of restaurants in the city, including full-length reviews from food editor and restaurant critic, Bill Addison. Users can also tap into news from the magazine's dining blog Covered Dish. Other features: filtered search by neighborhood, cuisine type, price, and star rating; a way to mark and store favorites; connection to OpenTable and ability to share on Facebook and Twitter; and Instagram restaurant photos.

On the new App, Addison notes:

"There are of course a number of apps that offer comprehensive searches for Atlanta restaurants. Our approach is to provide users with a much more curated guide for where to dine: These are places visited and rated by the magazine's critics (primarily Christiane Lauterbach and me). And we'll be adding content—both new openings and established restaurants that have been given a fresh look—on a weekly basis."

The free App is available at Apple's App Store.
