It would be helpful to have a little more info about the app on your site.
For example, it seems like it might only be for NYC restaurants given that it is an NYC BigApps submission and with 4Sq being so NY orientated.
For example, will it notify be of a bad restaurant in Palo Alto?

To my way of thinking, this is exactly the kind of stuff that makes mobile computing so exciting: Choice and control.
Imagine when folks are able to be just as discerning when they are shopping for clothes (was this made in a sweat shop? is it american-made?) or grocery shopping (were these chickens treated humanly?).
Good work man! The digital democracy is coming.

#5very interesting concept for sure...How do you plan to distinguish from Yelp and people commenting on Facebook?

I second this. Fill out the About section some more.

Good point. I didn't expect it to make HN. To answer your question: no, it does not work outside of NYC. It uses data provided by the city.

#8This could be exactly the kind of spark 4square needs.
You know, what scrabble was to facebook and "googling my name" was for google.

#10If possible, you should also raise flags for restaurants that have low scores in their initial inspection, but corrected it in the follow-up. You'll see lots of restaurants hit with a failing number of points, then they get the mandated follow-up visit the next week which they "clean" up their act and get an A (and all its privileges). I want to know if the restaurant I'm eating at is one of those so that I can make an informed decision and possibly avoid it. The grade postings only show the last grade, and not the last 5 or 10 point scores.
You can also issue a warning for a serial offender, one that makes a habit of repeated high and low scores.
