Has @foursquare solved the UI problem that Yelp and Google Maps just couldn’t? With menus, radar and more Foursquare is set to become a better recommendation tool that the original, Yelp. 
I have not used the yelp app recently, but I have never felt the need to. I have other tools at my disposal that are easier to use, yield better results and usually end up in a better end result for me. If Yelp wants to keep up, I think they need a UI overhaul and integration with other networks/sources.
