Urbanspoon User Reviews

Top reviews

No longer supported. Why is this on the App Store?

This was a pretty cool app, for a while. Then, Zomato bought it, and it tanked. THEN, everything moved to the Zomato app, this app only redirected you to the Zomato app, and it wasn’t as good. Now, the Zomato app only works in India and UAE.

Why is this even available on the App Store, now? It hasn’t worked in 4 years?!?

ZooMater

The original UrbanSpoon I had several hundred reviews of restaurants the South over. I’m just checking back this version is still crap.

Zomato ruined UrbanSpoon

The original UrbanSpoon was awesome! The rating system was far better than Yelp. AppleMaps is getting closer to a similar rating system.

And on days like today when you can’t think of what you want to eat, I think of the original UrbanSpoon app and wish there was something out there that could bring up some great suggestions. Go back to the original, and this UrbanSpoon would be doing so much better than it is now

Boooooooo

Dirty trick

Previous Urbanspoon user

I used to use this all the time to get out of the “what do you want to eat”, “what do you want to eat” back and forth. We let the algorithm take the lead, and if we didn’t like the choice, use the Magic 8 ball slot machine to try again. Guess those old cool apps are just not around anymore. Kind of sad.

Changes needed

Will the owners behind the app look at the reviews? The are almost all the same. Stop being like every other restaurant app. Go back to what urbanspoon used to be before combining with zomato.

Bring back the wheel. Can’t decide where to eat? Give this a spin.
Bring back restaurant filters by type, price, location, etc.
Improve search engine for more accurate results.

Urbanspoon

I am a long time user of urbanspoon and really miss this app. Zomato is ok I guess. But a lot of the reviews are not current. Most of the latest reviews are 3 years and older. I have been using Four square. It is getting better but a lot of restaurants are not listed. Any suggestion on a app that will fill my need. I want the old urbanspoon before it changed to zomato.

App discontinued

This app has been discontinued and should be removed from the App Store. All it does is display a screen that says the app is now called something else and requires a different app download.

important for on the road

I loved the original urban spoon app. It worked well for finding restaurants near me when traveling. However each version of Zomato has gotten worse where it is extremely difficult to locate nearby food venues of specific types and with reliable reviews. The purchase of urban spoon by Zomato ruined a very user friendly useful app. It’s no longer worth having on my phone. I empathize number of good years with urban spoon and will really miss it.

Useless app

This app does not exist anymore. It is only there to deceive people to download another app. Very dishonest. Shame on AppStore for keeping it on their download list.
