We are already working hard on getting the edit feature on the iphone live! There are some technical challenges, as we also want to make the feature available in offline mode. But these challenges are nothing we can't tackle and will be available soon. We have already allowed users to upload images, write reviews and vote on all of the Points of Interests we have on tripwolf - and these features are also available offline (which automatically synchs when an internet connection is available). So - bottom line: keep an eye out for the next update of the tripwolf iphone app! It is planned for the end of this month. Thanks for your feedback. Always appreciated. Hth, Alex.

The copy for the points of interest are often written in broken English that nobody seems interested in proof-reading. Here's the main entry for Central Park on both the site and the app: "Central is a natural nature reserve, the best park in NYC, with lots to do, such as renting a bike for a couple of hours, roller blading, boat riding, climbing rocks and then there is the annual Summer stage hosting free concerts and films and balloon rides. It can be serene and zoo, take you pic, its big enough to escape and lose yourself. Naturally beautiful and green. A must see." As a member you can rate the location but not edit the material; TripWolf either needs to fully embrace the idea of a social travel guide, or provide compelling, quality content themselves. No matter how much work has been done to tweak the UI and design, a travel site is going to live and die by the quality of the content it serves, however it's sourced. Hopefully TripWolf will address the issue because it hinders a potentially useful site and an otherwise brilliant iPhone app. Lukas,
