<description><![CDATA[Chewsy,  creator of a mobile app that lets you review restaurant dishes,  launched version 2.0 of its app today, bringing with it support for  photos and an easy way to find nearby food.The  first version of Chewsy, which launched in December, let you quickly  rate specific dishes at restaurants on a five-spoon scale. Think of it  as a more finely tuned version of Yelp, specifically focused on meals.  But the developers quickly realized something was missing in its initial  release &amp;8212' while people love writing reviews of their food, sometimes  the best way to describe a meal is with a picture.So with the latest version of the app, available now for free on the iTunes App Store,  Chewsy focused on making photos a natural part of its review process.  Chewsy now supports drafts for reviews, allowing you to take a picture  of a meal before you dig into it, and then later write down your  thoughts. The developers also streamlined the reviewing experience,  moving the entire process into a single page thata4a4s designed to match  your dining experience. You can also easily add photos to previous  reviews.Therea4a4s  also a new section to Chewsy called a4ANearby Fooda4, which, you guessed  it, points out places near your location where you can eat. Ita4a4s a feature that  furthers Chewsya4a4s focus on a4Alocation enhancement.a4Compared  to Foodspotting, another food review app, Chewsy is more focused on the  details, according to CEO and cofounder Chaitanya Sareen. Foodspotting  lets you a4Anoma4 a picture of a dish if you like it, but it doesna4a4t have  any way for users to rate something negatively. With its 5-point scale,  Chewsy can offer users more useful information about meals.Browsing  around my Brooklyn neighborhood on Chewsy, there are definitely not as  many reviews as on Yelp. Thata4a4s a given, since the app is so new,  and Ia4a4m sure Ia4a4d see many more options if I was standing in the middle  of Manhattan. The company launched Chewsy in 11 markets in December, and  in January it reported that Vancouver-area residents left around 1,200  reviews.Seattle-based  Chewsy was founded by Sareen and other Microsoft employees working in their spare time.  Wea4a4re still awaiting funding details from the company.Calling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit,  where we&amp;'ll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing  the mobile industry today.
