Reviewed: The London Burger App

London has a burger app. It’s been coming – meat may be murder but it’s also fashionable as hell. And let’s be honest most people find it delicious. So an app there must be.
The app (£1.49), is spin off of the witty Burgerac blog (anyone who calls country burger expeditions “Midsomer Burgers” gets a witty from me). It follows the traditional design: a map of selected burger dispensers, reviews thereof, and a superfluous TIPS section which advises you to cover the burger in ketchup or mayo.
But the map is what you’d pay for. Is it any good?
It’s kind of useful. There are 46 places listed at present, which obviously isn’t comprehensive, but nor is it insubstantial. And there are promises to add more.
But that number is less impressive when you realise that no fewer than 22 are Byron chain venues with identical reviews.
In short, if you’re the sort of person who owns an iPhone, loves burgers, and habitually finds yourself hungry in a strange part of town, £1.49 might just be worth it.
But the blog’s much better than the app. It’s sharp and funny and free.
Plus there’s a free burger map by a rival here which ain’t bad.
And seriously, think about your cholesterol, guys. That stuff kills.
