The oldest Jonas Brother, (Paul) Kevin Jonas II, has a new app "Yood!".

Yood! looks exactly like Yo, a simple notification app that went viral over the summer. But Yood! isn't a messaging app. Instead, the buttons are types of food like "Sushi," "Mexican," or "Indian."

When you press the button, a nearby venue serving that type of food will pull up, along with its Yelp rating and phone number in case you'd like to call and place an order. Yood! doesn't actually deliver the food for you. It's more of a quick, local craving search.

One venture capitalist Jonas met with says the singer isn't sure he's going to raise money for the app.

Thanks to his star power, Jonas was able to get Yood downloaded 10,000 times in its first twelve hours. His initial tweet was retweeted more than 650 times. The app launched in mid October.

"Our goal is to take the search out of searching!" Jonas wrote on the iTunes description. "Now you can save your index fingers for much more important things like Candy Crush or stalking your ex-girlfriend's Instagram feed instead of endlessly searching."

Here are some screenshots.
