Much like wine, the flavor of oysters changes based on weather, region and method of cultivation. Oysterpedia, created by The Mermaid Inn restaurants in NYC, was designed to take the guesswork out of ordering oysters as well as to provide a reference tool for the oysters you have already tried. This application will teach you the difference between a Bluepoint and a Kumomoto and give you the flavor, size, location, photos and notes of over 200 oysters from the coasts of North America. You can also rate the oysters you have eaten and save them in My Oysters. The next time you go for seafood, you can reference the list of oysters you have already tried and either re-order the ones you like or you can be adventurous and continually experiment with new ones. As you try new and different oysters, you will realize that no two oysters are alike. Enjoy. ## Key features - Oyster flavor profiles - Regional cultivation details - Over 200 North American oysters - Oyster photos and notes - Personal oyster tasting log - Discover new oyster varieties ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oysterpedia-lite/id403746372/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Awesome just what you need! *2011-10-22* Simple, functional and has structure! ### 5/5 — Oysterpedia *2011-03-13* Great app for foodies. I honestly never knew there were so many different kinds of oysters. Will definitely buy the regular app!!! ### 1/5 — Never opens... *2011-02-24* Granted, it is a free app... but it only works about half the time... most times, it never opens, and when it does, images take forever to load... the couple times I've been able to use it were great, but if this is supposed to entice me to drop $2 for the full version, forget it... ### 5/5 — Love it *2011-01-16* Will be heading to Mermaid Inn this week to test it out! ### 4/5 — US Based Oyster App *2011-01-14* Not sure why they only decided there are two coasts where oysters come from: West Coast and East Coast. It would be nice if they were broken down by region... On a map. Good start to the app though. ### 4/5 — Like it *2010-12-06* Not a lot to this app but good content ## Frequently asked questions about Oysterpedia Lite ### What is Oysterpedia Lite?
