Android Police: “Likes! is useful for finding the occasional restaurant, bar, or event in your area that some of your friends might like, but that they haven’t told you about yet.”

Addictive Tips: “[Likes!] is perhaps, the simplest and most ideal way to get a comprehensive overview of everything that’s running hot among your mates on the network.”

Likes! Recommendation App Covered by Forbes’ Larry Magid

Roger Casey

WillowTree’s Likes! iPhone and Android Apps were featured on Forbes’ tech section in an article by Larry Magid.

Quote: “Based on the theory that you’re likely to like what your friends like, WillowTree Apps has created Likes. It’s an iPhone and Android app that scans your Facebook friends’ “likes” of restaurants and bars as well as movies, TV shows and other things we spend time and money on and shows what your friends like. If it’s an establishment, it lists the ones nearest to you first, making it an excellent way to find a nearby eatery or drinking spot.”

The Likes! App is a great tool that showcases WillowTree’s proficiency in iPhone and Android app development.  Utilizing Facebook’s “likes”, you can quickly figure out what restaurants, bars, coffee shops, hotels, TV shows, movies, or just about anything “likeable” on Facebook that your friends like, giving you an instant, mobile opinion poll that is highly relevant to you.  Check out the app for iPhone, Android, or Facebook mobile web/desktop at www.willowtreeapps.com/likes.

iLadies (Apple4Ladies) Covers Likes!

Roger Casey

Rose Broyles of Apple4Ladies gave a nice review of Likes! after meeting Tobias and Michael at MacWorld.

I quote: “I’m a Yelp user. I go to Yelp to check out just about any company I do business with. I also use Google of course, but Yelp is the first one I think of. The only bad thing about Yelp is that you are relying on the opinions of other users to gauge your assessment of a particular business or venue. How about something a little more personal and compact?”

CNET’s Rafe Needleman Features WillowTree in his “Startup Secrets”

Roger Casey

Apparently, being a mobile application development company in Charlottesville, VA isn’t quite as crazy as it sounds!  According to CNET’s Rafe Needleman, in fact, WillowTree is a great example of how big things can come from little places.

“Tobias Dengel is CEO of WillowTree Apps, a development company in Charlottesville, Va. About 30 people at WillowTree build apps for various clients, some of which you’ve heard of. His company is working on The Verge’s mobile app, for example. He also has his own new app, Likes!, which I’ll cover soon, separately.

Uncommonly for an app developer, Tobias doesn’t outsource or contract, and his developers work from the WillowTree office, not their homes. ‘We won’t hire anyone who doesn’t work here with us,’ he says.”
