Good / Possible additions?

Update: Nov 6, 2024: The new update, 1.12.0 adds sort functionality. On the main screen, tap on the sort icon (next to the filters) and tap "Shuffled" and now the restaurants will be randomized. The setting should save, so you should not have to choose it every time. Thank you for the great suggestion! Thank you for the review. This is an excellent idea and I will absolutely work on adding this functionality for the next update! Thanks again!
Wish it worked for iPhone and Android!

Update: Chicken Tender is now available for Android! We are working hard on this. In the meantime, do you have an iPad in the house that your husband can use? Chicken Tender will work on any iOS device (iPod Touch, iPad, or iPhone)
Needs filters
The app now has filters! The new update is great—you can choose what types of restaurants/food you want or don’t want. Also h/t to the developer who replied to my review to let me know about the filters, and then provided great support when they weren’t working on my version of iOS. We had some great back and forth to track down the bug and he released an update to address it. Bumping my rating up to 5 stars!
Original review
Great app except that it needs filters. When I fire it up it tells me there are 269 restaurants nearby. Lots of them are fast food places, but there are also a lot of sit down places. Really needs at least basic filters like fast food, sit down, etc. Also, as another user said, would be nice to both narrow to specific things you want or exclude things you definitely don’t want. But I do like the info icon for each restaurant that shows location and gives a link for their website.

I am glad you are enjoying the app. I am happy to let you know that as of 1.6.0 (now available), you and your friends can define filters to narrow down your options.

As of 1.6.0 (now available), you can now set filters to narrow down your options. Glad you are enjoying the app!
Awesome!
That being said … I think a feature to at least narrow down the number of restaurants to flip through would be nice. Something like being able to eliminate the places we know we don’t want. So if we tell the app we definitely don’t want Chinese, no Chinese places will pop up.
The opposite would be nice too, like being able to tell the app we only want Italian places to select from.
As I’m sure whoever created this app was smart enough to steal it from the meme, I hope to only see this app get better. I do wonder which came first .. the app? Or the meme?

I am glad you have been enjoins the app! I am happy to let you know that as of 1.6.0 you can now filter the choices you see to narrow down your results. (each person playing can have their own set of filters).
nice
The best idea
Great App! Just need a better radius function
Hopefully that gets added soon so I can recommend this to my friends!

Thank you very much for the rating and feedback! You can end the game early at any time by tapping on "See Likes" in the top right. We are experimenting with only showing the first 1 mile restaurants (currently it is a 5 mile radius) and then letting the user decide if they want to see more or not.
Refreshing or picking locales
Many times we travel to a larger city, and eat there, rather than our own small town.
It is a neat little app. Thanks for making it.
Hope to see more from it.
Response from developer
Thank you very much for the feedback. The next version, 1.4, has a custom location feature that will allow everyone to use the same city or zip. Hope you are continuing to find the app useful.
