Yup - very little has changed on the Yelp front. I don't hear much about Yelp in general anymore. There was a time a few years ago a Yelp sales rep was calling dealerships (at least this one) on a weekly basis. Many stores shared on the shady tactics being used - negative reviews being held for collateral, removed admin access unless you pay for their over priced services and advertising.


I admit, I'll still use the Yelp app from time to time if I'm in an area I'm not familiar with. A few weeks ago I was in Kentucky and noticed my friend was STILL using foursquare/swarm app, which IMO was a superior app that should have won the location-review-check-in app wars due to it's gamification alone but instead broke the company up between 2 different services with most of the focus going into geo data sharing.
