Yelp is a Yelp search app using the Yelp API.
Time spent: 12 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- Table rows for search results should be dynamic height according to the content height.
- Custom cells should have the proper Auto Layout constraints.

The following optional features are implemented:
- Search results page
- Infinite scroll for restaurant results.
- Implement map view of restaurant results.
- Implement the restaurant detail page.
The following additional features are implemented:
- Uses current location to get relevant search results
- Explore a restaurant's menu from within the app
- Call a business from within the app
- Read a review highlight from within the app
- Tap to get directions to a business
- Map all search results; tap a pin on the map to segue to business details view
- Multiple navigation controllers with Tab Bar
- List of categories to search from (static table view controller)
- Pull-to-refresh (useful if your location has changed!)
- Sort by distance or rating
- Filter by multiple distance levels
- Search bars are connected to Yelp Search API (not limited to searching table view cells; can search for any local business)
- Search terms and filters persist between relaunches, using NSUserDefaults
- App Icon resembles the real Yelp app
- Launch screen resembles the real Yelp app

Auto Layouts became much easier as I got the hang of it. One pro-tip we should have learned offically is the fact that you can Control+Drag from one storyboard element to another in order to relate both of them in a new Auto Layout constraint... for me, this was an essential technique, since there were occasions when an element couldn't "see" another element in drop-down menus when setting new constraints the "proper" way.
