RateThis! is a free app for your iPhone that will provide you with both answers, if you have a perplexing decision on your hands, and entertainment, as the voting is fun too.

The first thing you’ll need to do is create a login. Yes, we all hate doing this but it’s totally worth the thirty seconds that it takes.

After logging in, you will realize that the app has a very Windows Phone 7-like interface. There are lists, tiles, and side-to-side scrolling, along with a whole lot of black. This isn’t the first time that an iPhone app has been modeled after Windows Phone 7, but it is my first time using one of these. I have to say that the layout is quite nice. It definitely works, at least for RateThis!.

Even with the simplistic interface, this app has a lot to offer. You can create a new poll and upload two photos from either your camera or your Camera Roll, vote on others’ polls, view info on your polls, and view the ones that you voted on, along with the results of those polls.

You can choose any one of these categories and the text from the other categories will move to the left like a tile. One special thing about this app is that upon the first run, you will be given the tutorial in a fashion very similar to the rest of the app: left-to-right scrolling with two panes per page, each one containing basic information about the app. After flipping past the tutorial, you’re off! You are now given the two choices and the category from which these choices belong to.

If you want a certain category displayed more often than the others, say you want either animals or cars displayed most often, you can set this up through the settings. You can also fine tune things like push notifications of results and background loading.

Surprisingly, this app does already have a bit of a user base, which is good as more people means more votes. It also has some bugs, like disappearing choices and choices that are only black boxes, which require a force close of the app. Still, RateThis! is an app that you must have.

Read the Developer's Notes:
 With so many photo apps on the market, why on Earth do you need another? You need RateThis! because it’s so much more than a mere photo app. RateThis! will help you make decisions both great and small in as little as 10 minutes.


If you don’t know whether to buy your wife a necklace or a bracelet for her birthday, or are stuck at that car dealership unable to choose between a hybrid or a sports car, RateThis! is there for you. If you can’t decide which politician to vote for or what to have for dessert, post your dilemmas to RateThis! and let a community of your peers tell you which choice is better. No one is an expert on everything, but everyone is an expert on something. RateThis! harnesses the collective knowledge of society to help with those choices, questions or predicaments with which we all have a little bit of trouble.



So next time you have a conundrum on your hands, whether it be choosing between vacation destinations, political candidates or gift ideas, RateThis! is there to make your choice easy. So why not give it a try? It's free and always will be.



We designed RateThis! to be minimalist, beautiful, fast and free of bloat or ads. The ease and simplicity of our User Interface is unlike any of the 425,000 apps on the App Store. Check it out for yourself and be sure to show your friends.



We draw the line in the sand. Now its up to you to show the world where you stand!
