Booker Rising mentioned it back in November. It's for the iPhone or Android. From theGrio: "Around the Way App Version 2.0
has a pretty intuitive interface, which mimics the native iPhone maps
App. This makes it very simple to use and pick up right away to help you
locate black owned businesses using your phone. When you open the App,
you’re greeted with a scroll bar at the top, which groups black
businesses by good[s] and services that range from beauty shops, barbers,
banks and restaurants. There are also several tabs below, which allow
you to view all of the black businesses in a certain area, search for
specific stores or add a black business that you may have spotted."
More: "One of the cool features of the app is the ability to favorite
locations. This app is all about supporting black businesses so this
feature makes it easy for you to become reoccurring customers once you
book mark your favorites spots. Business owners and entrepreneurs have
the ability to add their own business to the Around The Way App
Directory directly from their phone."
