Steve Jobs trashed my last iPad app, so I created this

He loved the Urbanspoon iPhone app. The iPad app, not so much.<p>Someday I'll write up the story about the time we met in person. Yes, I too got yelled at by Steve Jobs.

“I think the UI isn’t so good.” == "trashed"?

"The iPad’s new “retina display” boasts a 2048-by-1536 resolution, a display that Joshua Topolsky of The Verge notes has a million more pixels than a HDTV."<p>Does this seem out of place in this article?

Steve Jobs did not trash his app. OP is either name-dropping or link-baiting.

The most ironic part is that this new app's UI sucks as well. High res photos != UI

I've been involved indirectly in the self catering accommodation industry for about 3 decades. (I grew up working in my mom's holiday letting agency in cape town) The percentage of revenue spent on marketing in the industry is staggering. 20% to 50% is common here in France and in South Africa in Cape Town which is highly competitive. Much of this goes to adwords these days. It's a very cash rich space so an amazing opportunity. Best of luck Adam and team!!
