    I’m sorry but as long as Apple Maps rely on and force you to install the Yelp app for reviews, I’m never using it.

      They’re moving away from that, only using Yelp for backfill when they have no data. There is instead a “thumbs up/down” set of buttons (because the 5-star system is uselessly Boolean anyway). Contribute to the ecosystem by rating places using this, and eventually it will reach parity with Google.
