  • Frustrating

    This app has so much potential but is so frustratingly bad and poor to use! Searching for “Paris” gives a set of random locations, many things with no relevance. Why do searches also bring up garages, repair shops etc etc?! Incredibly clunky, a real shame as the recommendations angle is so good
  • Pointless app - do not give it your details.

    I installed this app after hearing it featured on a BBC radio programme. The app does nothing - I gave it my email and phone number when signing up but it then just puts you on a ‘waiting list’, so you end up with an app with no functionality at all and somebody else ends up with your personal data. Total waste of time.

  • Really looking forward to using this app

    Absolutely love the thinking behind this new app and I for one can’t wait to start using it - giving the opportunity this could be revolutionary for fellow foodies who appreciate clear, honest and well guided reviews. I have often found myself in a new city, desperate to find a good outlet providing great hospitality - its almost impossible to find unbiased reviews and direction. This is project that is just launching as such there will be a few teething issues and obstacles to overcome before it gets to where it needs to be. Surely its better for all to support and encourage at this stage so it can flourish quickly.

  • Just what I needed

    A great new app for collating all your best restaurant lists. Really love making my own lists and following interesting people around the world to see where they like to eat. Will use loads.
  • A waiting list

    No app is this great you have to go on a waiting list to join especially as advertised in the Waitrose mag

    Hi there This app is still in beta, which means it is pre release and still under construction. This means it cannot just be downloaded and used right away as we are testing it with a small community of people, getting it ready for general release. Apologies if you were expecting to use the app right away, but it was mentioned in the Waitrose article that we are still in beta, and that we would be issuing invites through our instagram. If you would still like to use the app as one of our testers, then please email me mike@jacapo.co.uk and we'll send you an invite code. Or if you'd like us to remove your information from the platform we'd be happy to do this too.
  • Won’t join up

    App wants my photo. I don’t want to share my photo so I cannot join up. Pity, as the idea of sharing positive views is a good one.

    Hi there. the functionality of the app depends on a profile image... this is how we display who recommends what... you can of course upload any image. It doesnt have to be of your face. If you would still like to use the app as one of our testers, then please email me mike@jacapo.co.uk and we'll send you an invite code. Or if you'd like us to remove your information from the platform we'd be happy to do this too.
  • Misleading

    Had to give them a phone number. Then they wanted a picture. Only once you’ve uploaded this information do they then say that you’re on a waiting list to join. Maybe if this grows into a big thing, people won’t mind being on a waiting list but I’m not happy about sharing my data with these people to only then find out I’ve got to wait. I’ll go back to looking at the Good Food Guide for restaurant recommendations.

  • You have to enter your phone number

    I was really excited about this app after seeing it in the Waitrose Weekend paper but why do I have to give my phone number? Deleted, such a shame.

    Hi there Phone number verification is a very standard method to validate a users account. It is only used for this security purpose. If you would still like to use the app as one of our testers, then please email me mike@jacapo.co.uk and we'll send you an invite code.

  • Doesn’t exist

    Signed up, still waiting for access code after several weeks

    Hi Suzanne We've been contacting people on the waiting list with invite codes via their email. Perhaps it went to junk? If not we are issuing people interested to join our beta app invites through our instagram. Drop me a line on mike@jacapo.co.uk if you're still interested to take part.
  • Had so much promise

    Signed up for this two months ago. Still on a waiting list. No app or social is worth this trouble. 🦃
