Toresto is a mobile application made by Gits Indonesia that provides restaurant and food information. Although it was pretty popular back in 2011, it appears that Toresto application starts to show some flaws. I tried using Toresto on iOS and found a lot of data errors. Nevertheless, this does not dampen its move to expand into the Windows Phone platform by cooperating with Radya Labs.

Its updated version of Windows Phone has a special feature, namely the availability of Augmented Reality in it. With this feature, we can identify nearest restaurant using the camera of the phone, as if the restaurant was right in front of us. Toresto will also provide information on what route you can take to get to the restaurant after choosing a restaurant that you’re interested in. It seems Toresto is available for Windows Phone Marketplace Indonesia only as I can’t find it on USA region.

Toresto itself was originally named Raos Pisan and took Bandung and its neighboring areas as its scoop, until it changed its name to be accepted widely. In addition to Windows Phone and iOS, Toresto is also available for Android and Nokia.

Nampakny Toresto hanya tersedia untuk Windows Phone Marketplace Indonesia karena saya tidak menemukannya untuk region USA.
