Leave a Review Oysterpedia
Lovely App for Oyster Fans
This is a very handy and nicely-designed reference guide containing pics and info on the most popular oysters from the East and West coasts of the U.S. To the users complaining about there not being enough oysters in the database -- firstly, this app has all the major oysters that a diner will likely run into when eating out; secondly, the app is a promotional tool for the nice little NYC seafood restaurant that produced it; and, lastly, it's free. So, instead of complaining, let's be grateful that someone created a useful free app.Show lessRexPrimoris
Great but not spectacular
This app is amazing for anyone who loves, or wants to love, oysters. Very attractive design and easy to navigate.
The largest issues I have with this app is the database needs to be updated. The oyster lists need to be expanded to include the numerous other oysters of North America. Also the fact that you can rate an oyster more than once and duplicate it in your 'my oysters' is just annoying.Show lessJacoyster
Good, but plenty of room for improvement
Oysterpedia hits the spot for oyster lovers, but there is plenty of room for improvement. The database contains information mostly regarding oysters in the Northeast US and Canada, but has some data on West coast oysters and a few varieties in the Southeast US. However, there are dozens of oyster varieties in the Southeast that cannot be found in Oysterpedia, and I fear this might be the case in other regions as well. Mermaid Holding is based out of the Northeast, so it makes sense that they know the most about this area's harvest. However, the app could have so much more depth, it just saddens me to imagine them not broadening the database with more varieties. There's also a few varieties of West Coast oysters that are misfiled in the East Coast list. I'd recommend that Mermaid Holding also include a map (or incorporate Google Maps) so users can browse oyster varieties by location. Just mark the origins of each variety with a "tack" and have a pop-up with the oyster variety's name and maybe some supplemental information. Overall, I can only award the current version 3 stars out of 5. Plenty of room for improvement; I love the premise and I hope we see it happen.Show lessApplestapler
No Longer Functions
As a server unfamiliar with the many different oysters that keep landing on the menu I found the lite version helpful and a talking piece amongst the staff. Informative and good looking, the software's form and content melded near perfectly. Now that I've bought the paid version and upgraded to 1.02, the app just hangs, never opening. Don't forget those of us that have actually paid and please fix the problem.Show lessguyg-off
Love this app
I feel more like an oyster expert with this app!!!MelissaDiep.com
Definitely like this
I cant wait to use this app when I go out for oysters! I love that I now have an easy, centralized place to keep ratings. Great pics, wish I could make them even bigger. Chelsea Gem is misfiled in east coast and the app crashes once. Looking forward to search features.JCardinal18
For oyster lovers nice app
Great background information you don't get when ordering oysters.
Bit pricey but it is a specialty area, glad someone did it.
Would like to see:
1. Search ability with different attributes e.g. By name, location, flavor.
2. Ability to share/review rating and comments with other users of this app.Show lessDXN
