Yellow Pages Now On The App Store
One day every year I come home from work to find a bulky package wrapped in plastic sitting on my doorstep. I pick it up, carry it over to my recycling bin and drop it in – plastic and all – because it’s an heirloom of a previous age. I’m talking about the Yellow Pages of course, and despite the fact that they still dump the unwanted books on my doorstep every year, the Sensis service has also jumped on the iPhone bandwagon with a new app.
It’s a free app which uses your iPhone’s GPS to help find local businesses, then lets you call them with a single click, just like using Google Maps. You can share your search results with friends via SMS as well, if that’s your thing. You can grab it now from the App Store.

I have a couple of gripes with this app:
Firstly, the ’suggestions while you type’ thing slows down typing immensely, and because the keyboard fills half the screen, most of the results are hidden anyway. (Near useless/annoying feature).
The ‘map these locations’ button displays a tiny static map that you can’t possibly read. (Completely useless feature).
