An iPhone app wants to answer the question: Does NY ♥ You Back?

City denizens around the world could probably complain interchangeably about urban annoyances – slow, unreliable public transportation. Obnoxious people. Bad weather.

But New Yorkers don’t even complain about the Big Apple like most people of other cities – where iPhone apps have been launched to report potholes and the like — they are more concerned with the love-hate relationship side of things.

Users of the free iPhone app can tag a map with the best and worst of the city that never sleeps. Entries like “Katie loves playing hooky in the park” have to vie with those from people like Ray who “Cant’ get a cab and it just started raining” and another Katie who “Almost stepped on a hypodermic needle at 2nd Ave & 8th Street.”
