Project - Vegan-Food-Finder

Description:

Vegan Restaurant Finder is an app that helps people looking for vegan restaurants. The app utilizes yelp api to get List of vegan restaurants. The user can ask the app to recommend them a good restaurant based on weights that user pickles, when the user is in a different time zone they can check the operating hours of the restaurant at any given date, from there user can navigate to create an event and then store it in the calendar view(the event is also deletable). User can also get the directions to the restaurant by using apple’s native maps app
