When
you're on holiday you always want to make sure you find the best places to eat
because tasty food is priceless. I bet you don't know where to look at the
moment, but maybe that will change once you realize there are some cool apps
out there that will tell you where to go if you want a specific type of food.
Let's look at a few examples and you'll see what I mean.

Specialist apps rule
Now that everyone has a smartphone people don't need to worry about building general apps that appeal to the masses. They just need to concentrate on specialist ones and they know millions of people will download them.
