Featured App: Seymour Personal Concierge

Seymour is an app that we heard of a while ago but it was released in Marketplace without a splash (possibly because the release date is the app approval date, not the availability date). Anyway, this app has a ton of potential, includes a trial mode ($3 to buy) and has an above average 4.5 stars with very positive comments. I’ll let the dev explain it themselves:

Hi, I’m Seymour, your very own personal concierge!
I’ll help you find places that match your tastes in food, drink, and fun. As you teach me what you like, I create Taste Cards to remember your interests. Whenever you’re on the go, pick or create a Taste Card and I’ll give you recommendations tailored to your personal tastes. I’ve also read a ton of reviews on local places, and I’ll show you the summary of what’s good and what’s bad about any place that I know, to save you time and help you make decisions.
You can keep refining your Taste Cards by telling me how you like my suggestions. The more you interact with me, the better I get at finding you your next favorite cafe, the perfect burger, or anything else you’re looking for. Relax and enjoy yourself – I’ll do the searching and planning for you!
