im not one of those apple fan boys so i wonder when this is gonna come out for android phones. That would help this app reach more people, i have android at the moment and await the arrival of this app.

Crowdbeacon is a new app available free from the iPhone App Store that allows users to ask questions about virtually anything specific to a certain area and then receive answers in real time as other local users respond.

The success of this sort of thing is largely dependent on how many users adopt the app, but the good news is that one of the developers lives in Jersey City and has already built up a large user base here. So questions asked about downtown JC are usually answered in seconds.

This app is great for those new to this area and especially for those who really know what's up around here. There are tons of categories such as restaurants, nightlife, beauty, shopping, arts & entertainment, etc.

Here's the review from Gigaom.
