What people are saying
I really like very much your work. It lets me to place at least an eye over my beloved New York. I've been there three times and I love it, and my wife too. The traffic cameras look very well in my iPod and all the information is very useful in an eventual trip to your city. Thank you and continue improving your excellent application for iPod!!!

I just downloaded the "NYC Way" app, and I'm truly impressed with how amazingly comprehensive it is! I just voted for you on the nycbigapps site - you HAVE to win!!
You are all to be commended on the GUI, also - very smooth, elegant, up-to-date, and easy to navigate. It is very obvious that you put your hearts and souls into developing this app.
I've been a "NYer" for 20 years now; thought I've seen it all in terms of trying to put "everything you need to know about NYC" in one easily accessible resource, but this is the best by far... And, it's FREE!!
Thank you SO much!

WOW! Really AMAZING App! Free app with real value!! (5 of 5)
Fully loaded with information! You can tweet from it too! Can't believe it is FREE! So much better than Time Out New York! Great interface, well thoughtout app with flawless execution! This app is a keeper. Great app to start the new year! To the developer thank you for making a quality app!!

Quite impressive (5 of 5). I generally never write reviews for apps but this one blew me away today. I actually ended up at a concert for one of my favourite bands and I had absolutely no clue they were playing in the city. The UI is very good. How the hell do they get all this information?? Nevertheless, I'm a fan because this app has made me more happy tonight than I ever thought any utility on the iPhone could. I salute the developers. For a non NYC resident like me this is GOLD!

- Bill Welch
I'm very impressed with what you have produced. It blows my mind that you created this in just 40 days. Thanks for your time. I hope you win the contest.

I saw this based on a recommendation on twitter and so far it's incredible how well designed the interface is ..the plethora of information at ones finger tips ! I will definately recommend this to friends family and clients-especially to those new to NYC but also for native new yorkers like myself as well. Well done !!!!

Excellent find(5 of 5). This is a comprehensive app for all things NY. Simply wonderful. Easy to use and integrates with pretty much all the data that is available about NY City.
- geekofscience
Extremely useful app (5 of 5). This is a very useful app, comes in handy when you are lost in the big apple. But what would be great is if I can search different categories by neighboirhoods since I don't remember all the zip codes.
- Rocky_1984
Wow! (5 of 5). A must have if you are from or go to the Empire State. A whole lot of valuable info. Great job on this one guys!!!

Fantastic! (5 of 5). I have downloaded and erased at least eight apps that were supposed to be nyc guides- this one is the best! I've lived in the city for two years and it has everything I've been looking for.
- Happylis
So great (5 of 5). I essentially have everyhting id need to have at my fingertips as a new yorker, subway stations, food, events, wifi, and my favorite the restaurant inspections and best of most of it works offline. I cant wat for any future updates this is the best local app on the store
- Voneahhh
By far the best app if you are in NYC!! (5 of 5). Very helpful when you are about to drive , gives you a picture of how the traffic is ... Deff worth it
- Troy786
Bang for your buck... (4 of 5). Just downloaded this today and I almost NEVER write a review but this app gives you information as all apps should, with some level of consolidation. The combination of information this application gives you is very rare and mildly disturbing. Show me another app that will allow you to check the traffic cams, find a free wifi location, find a restaurant based on it's most recent health code violations, while perusing the NYPD's most wanted criminal profiles, and I will show you a liar! Great application and I am sorry to say... they should be charging for this :)

Great APP, best part it's free (5 of 5). I am speechless at just how well put together and very useful this app reall is. If you live in NYC you just can't go wrong with this APP. Easily would pay 5 bucks for this.
