Google announces simplified Zagat ratings, launches new application for Android

Avid Zagat users may or may not tell you that the Google-owned restaurant finder service hasn’t exactly been offering the best rating system possible. With the most recent update, however, the hard-working devs from Mountain View are aiming to fix those woes, announcing that it’s now “easier than ever” to publish reviews on the platform. The new rating system, as you can see above, will let users in on a more simplified scoring method, with the ability to simply rate as “poor-fair,” “good,” “very good” or “excellent.” Meanwhile, Google also launched a revamped, free-of-charge Zagat app for Android, which brings all the features you love to both handsets and slates. You’ll find the fresh application at the Google Play link below.
