Where the Flook have you been?

Flook is an app for the iphone that let its users to share the world around them on-the-go. Have you ever been to a restaurant that is so good you want to share it with other people? Or a shop selling great bargain goods that you simply must recommend to other people? Well, with Flook, you now can. It's all about discovering the world around you, and share it with others.
Flook is currently available as free download from iTunes, and let me tell you, it has a gorgeous interface as well easy to use. Once you have it on your iPhone, you can fire up the app and register for a free account.


When you are ready to share something with the world, simply take a picture and choose the 'Make cards' option. 


For an example, I recently visited this new Pizza Hut restaurant in my town, and I want to let other people know about it. So I simply snap a picture of the place and upload it via the app. I can also write a description of the place. Once uploaded, other users of the app will be able to view and leave comments.


As you can see here, I already have a few comments from other users about the place. There are other options such as 'Map', which will show you the exact location of the place. 


Each picture you post is known as a 'card', and if you go back to the main menu, you can choose to find all the new cards other people have posted, cards posted worldwide, or those posted by users nearest to you. 



If you come across any cards you like, you can also choose to 'collect them' for easy reference. You can also choose to follow a specific user if you like.

What I like about this app is how easy it makes the whole process of sharing great and wonderful places with everyone. The app is very well designed, and it's no wonder it has been picked as winner of the Mobile Premier Award for User Experience 2010. So, what are you waiting for? Download this app and get flooking!
