The king of business directories finally has come to the iPhone. The Yellow Pages (free, download) utilizes the iPhone’s GPS to establish your location, so that when you search, you’ll find the closest business to you. Check out our video below for a closer look:
The search results show up in an iPhone-friendly list. Tap the phone number for one-touch dialing, tap the + icon to add the business to your contacts (it adds name, phone number, and address with just one tap), or tap the map icon to view the address in Google maps.
A toolbar at the bottom of the app gives offers one-touch searching for Restaurants, Doctors, Auto Services, Pizza, and More. For example, tap Pizza and all the pizza places, starting with the closest, will be listed. Tapping the More tab brings up dozens of popular categories to choose from.
What makes theYellow Pages a <em>Best of iPhone app is that its simple interface makes it quick and easy to use–no fumbling through multiple screens to get at the information you need. It’s available as a free download in the iTunes App Store.

When you tap “add to contact” it does not add it there.

It does, it just seems like nothing happens when you tap it. Maybe they should add a pop up saying “Contact Added” or something.
