Zagat: Zagat’s new app offers pretty much everything you can get on the website in both its iPhone and Android versions. You’ll see Zagat reviews and summaries, directions to restaurants and night spots via Google Maps, news and videos from editors, and curated lists varying by city. Most notably, this is the first time that all the Zagat content you need comes to users on all platforms with free—and without any prior registration.

But it’s what I have here, so I’m drinking it. And so, here are this week’s iPad apps. Metaphor.
