Yep is an iOS app for searching nearby restaurants based on the Yelp API.
Time spent: 31 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- Table rows should be dynamic height according to the content height.
- Custom cells should have the proper Auto Layout constraints.
- Search bar should be in the navigation bar.
- User can filter by: cuisine, sort (best match, distance, highest rated), distance, and deals (on/off).
- The filters table should be organized into sections as in the mock.
- You can use the default UISwitch for on/off states.
- Clicking on the "Search" button should dismiss the filters page and trigger the search w/ the new filter settings.
The following optional features are implemented:
- Infinite scroll for restaurant results
- Implement map view of restaurant results
- Distance filter should expand as in the real Yelp app.
- Categories should show a subset of the full list with a "See All" row to expand.
- Implement the restaurant detail page.
- Implement a custom switch
The following additional features are implemented:
- Customize the navigation bar
- Use Yelp Fusion (v3) API instead of v2 to access additional features and extend longevity past 2018
- Also sort by number of reviews, filter for Open Now, filter for Hot and New, and choose price categories
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

The collapsible filter took the longest to implement; I wish I had knocked out more of the other optionals before tackling this one.
Using a struct for the data structure helped greatly in keeping things straight. Choosing a good data structure was key for the filters implementation.
I tried to get the v3 API working with my own API keys but it would be more efficient to do this after next week's lesson on OAuth. I also found that the new API doesn't supply rating_image_url so it'd be a little bit of a pain to have to convert the rating decimal to its corresponding image url and it would break down if they move the images (image locations aren't documented in the new API). I tried two ways, one using the YelpAPI cocoapod (recommended by Yelp) and one using the BDBOAuth1Manager pod. You can see the progress in my "APIv3" branch.
