Yeah it would be nice if everyone would remember to investigate the needs of people outside the country where they live, but ultimately the reponsibility lies with the buyer to do that kind of homework before spending the $$$.

But the more I learn about each app the more blown away I am. Though I haven't personally used UrbanSpoon yet, it's ridiculous. It's way too easy to frequent the same jaunts that one is accustomed to, and not expend the energy it takes to come up with new ones to try. UrbanSpoon solves that problem! @Daniel - Excellent point about including notes in reviews regarding functionality outside the US. I just wrote a post today about the best music apps and it didn't even cross my mind to note international functionality. And I'm from Europe (originally). Thanks for the tip!

In this case I know Urbanspoon doesn't work outside the US, some Canadian cities, and London, but others may not. This becomes especially important when viewers may base their decision to pay for an app based on your review only to find out after paying that the app is useless to them because it doesn't work for their local area. Really it's not that hard a thing to take this in to account when doing a review. You guys in the US need to try and remember that the iPhone is used all over the world now.
