Oink App Review
By Roland Quitalig
Milk Inc. has launched their first iPhone app from Kevin Rose’s new startup. Oink is a recommendation service which lets users recommend specific items from a specific place. Combining the social networking power of both Twitter and Facebook with Foursquare’s check-in service, Oink has the potential to become the next Yelp. With it’s simple to use interface, Oink pushes recommendations a step further.
Although still a bit buggy, Oink offers a lot. You may rate an item with ‘Love it,’ ‘Like it,’ ‘Ho-hum’, and ‘Dislike it’ at the click of the button. Users may also include a mini review limited to 200 characters. Along with uploading picture, users can choose from a variety of photo filters to give their mediocre iPhone photos a little umph.
Overall the app is spectacular. With this one app, Oink brings in so much more activity than any of its competitors.
