We believe that when you choose a bar, or a club, you may want to focus on the people first, and Yosee lets you rate these people and say if they are cool or not.
Cool places for cool people. :)
We believe that when a place is crowded with what you think are cool people, it may very well be a cool place as well.
We do not target single people specifically but groups of friends. We think that friends who use the app together can have a lot of fun. The range of age is from 13 up to 35, even though the idea comes from a 45 year-old man. :)
I think that you are absolutely right, even though we want to focus first on the 5-star rating of people and then we plan to offer a way to choose up to three pre-defined tags (as you rightly said hip, dive, etc.) to elaborate your rating of the place.
Sorry for the "Time Square" error, we use Foursquare venues and weren't paying attention, we will fix that.
We will also rethink our landing page in order to make it easier to understand what we do.
Yes, we are planning to add gay/lesbians support, but we have a problem because the comments you post are limited to your gender (girls can see other girls comments, boys can see other boys comments). But we are definitely thinking about it!
Uh, this should not be an "oh that's for a future version"...in an urban city (which is presumably where this kind of app would be most used and most useful), you are alienating a good part of the audience.
Gender fairness issues aside, this kind of "design" issue raises doubts about how well you've thought this product through. Social/place-rating apps are hard, given the dominance of the big players in this space. This gender thing complicates things but is by far one of the easier things you'll have to deal with, and it doesn't appear you're dealing with it well.
That sounds harsh, but better to take a hard look at this now than at launch date.
There are also plenty of people who are interested in people of two or more genders that you shouldn't erase. This is the kind of thing where, if you really can't figure out how to make it work with your current design, you seriously need to go back to the drawing board.
