REVIEWS
"Is there anything an iPhone can't do?... Now it can help you choose oysters. A dry run at my desk seems pretty reliable. My beloved Olympias are described as medium salinity and “sweet, salty, copper, cucumber.” Another favorite, Totten Inlet Virginicas, are high salinity and “briny, sweetness, mineral.”" - Los Angeles Times "Daily Dish" online
"This app really is the oyster lovers dream come true, making it easy and quick to journal the oysters that you have eaten to to get a reference to one that is on the menu that you have not tried before." - Oystergeek.com
"I’ve got to say that I love it! It is an excellent tool for an “at a glance” profile of 350 oysters from North America. ...I tried to stump it by searching for some of the most obscure oysters I know of and all of them were already in the app. Oysterguru would be especially helpful for restaurant waitstaff and chefs who want a quick, searchable data base of oyster info for their customers. And the oyster connoisseur will love the app's feature which allows you to add your own notes and flavor profiles to each oyster along with where you had occasion to enjoy it." - chefs-resources.com
