Your point of differentiation seems to be rating the scene of various venues. I would focus the landing page, app, and pitch on this, because at first pass, it looks like yet another startup that is trying to rate restaurants, stores, and parks. Having a screenshot with "New York City" and "Times Square" is not helpful (btw, note that it's Times Square and not Time Square). I would focus the locations down to just bars and clubs to start and take out anything else. No need rate Starbucks, either -- I already know what kind of place it is, globally.<p>You would have to talk to more people to get the right questions, but I don't think "how are the boys/girls?" is the right type of question. Is it hip, dive, relaxed, crowded, noisy, lively, chill, etc. I think the best way to think about this is to figure out how people would answer the question, "what kind of place is it?" I also think the response needs to be more than just a single 5-point rating.

THere is no reason why the first screen of the iphone on your home page should show the Login screen. Its not relevant to the product, and everyone who wants to use it will understand that you have a log in. Remove it!

It seems very heternormative. Girls rate boys, and boys rate girls?

Absolutely beautiful, both the page and the app (though I don't have an iPhone):<p>Are you planning more login API support other than just Facebook? I'd imagine you want to run the gamut: twitter, foursquare, etc - maybe even get rid of your own login altogether to make it easier for people (of course this limits you somewhat - but I'm pretty sure your target audience has at least one of these accounts)

I think the app looks pretty nice. But clearly I am so far out of your target audience. I find it a rather sad commentary that how a place rates on the boys/girls is "a good reason to go" there. It just seems very shallow. I guess the types of places that are defined by the boy/girl rating rather than the food or the service or what ever else they offer are perfect for the people who are more interested in the boy/girl rating. That is not me. I'm sure you will find your user base though.

I enjoy the site and the app looks nicely designed, but the boys vs. girls thing isn't interesting to me. Is this an app to find places to hook up with people? I don't generally judge cities, venues etc by the attractiveness of the people and an app for doing that should probably be aimed at a fairly specific demographic -- probably a similar demographic to OkCupid's.

Your site is nice and it feels well designed. My only complaint is that even on my 100 mbps connection, it took forever to load the content in the smart phone portion of the site.<p>Another question I have is what makes me want to use this as opposed to yelp or foursquare?

Love the landing page. I like the "Absolutely nothing will be published on your timeline..." bit.<p>I wonder how the Boy rate Girls is going to work for you guys. If you could blog about the stats you get that would be interesting as well! I know this is not the place for that but Lisbon, Taipei and Paris' girls come on top imo.

The first few seconds I don;t know what the app does....more importantly how it is different from the bazillion other place rating apps.

Yosee Support link on the itunes page points at the broken link support.yosee.com<p>Cool intro although it took a while to load for me.

The site looks great, not very mobile friendly though which you should maybe think about given your target demographic.

hummm... here at work it says "This Connection is Untrusted / yosee.com uses an invalid security certificate. / The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided."<p>I'll have to see it at home... (company security manager sits right in front of me :P )
