It’s a sort of Yelp meets Pandora: you tell it what kind of restaurants you like, and then it tries to make some solid recommendations. Today Clever Sense, the company behind Alfred, is sharing some early stats — and they’re looking good.
Thus far the application has given 7 million recommendations to users in less than three months. And users have ‘Liked’ two million venues within the application (you can use a Pandora-esque thumbs up or down to further train the app’s suggestions). Apparently those recommendations ring true, too: the app has 550 ratings and a 4-star average on iTunes. The most important stat, though, concerns the way people are actually using the application. So what does that mean? To commemorate their progress, Clever Sense has put together an infographic showcasing several stats, as well as the density of usage in San Francisco and NYC.
