Google Places with Hotpot Released for iPhone

Google have released Google Places with Hotpot on the iPhone. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Google Places is a free app that allows you to find local businesses and rate them, and with their new ‘hotpot’ feature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Google can suggest new places you’ll like, based on your previously ratings.

The app uses your location to suggest nearby places for you to rate. You can give a standard star rating out of 5, and depending on the location, optional ratings including: Food, Atmosphere,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Value and Service.

You can view ratings from most review sites such as Yelp or Qype, as well as Google’s own ratings and it comes with 9 separate categories as standard (Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Bars, ATMs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gas Stations, Hotels, Attractions, Pizza Parlours and Post Offices) but you can add personal searches as well, to cater to your tastes.

This isn’t a ‘check-in’ application like Gowalla or Foursquare, but this is more similar to apps like Yelp or AroundMe.

What do you guys think about the new Google Places? Will you be using it? Let us know.
