Must have if you travel (even a little.)

I travel from time to time for work, and going to new places with my wife. And this app saves all the Googling! Name of app says it all, ever want to know whats around you...just click the app, convenient and easy to use. Nor sure what else i can say, even though I don’t use it often, it’s nice to have when i do need it!

Great app

I often use this app when I travel

Gas information unreliable!

My car takes premium gas. I used the app to search for the station offering the cheapest premium gas around me. I drove almost 10 miles away to the station the app told me was the cheapest only to find the price was wrong by a significant amount even though it said it had been “updated 2 hours ago.” This has happened on many occasion the prices can’t be trusted! 😡

Not accurate

I was using the app to try to find some new restaurants in my area. What I found was a bunch of listings for restaurants that have been out of business for over 2 years. Then I tried a few other categories and found the same issue. For example, a bank was listed at a location that has been closed for almost 3 years. It is now a realtor. Office Depot was listed under supermarkets. The incorrect information is never ending. Bottom line, if I’m in an area I don’t know, this app is pretty much useless unless I call every location to see if they’re still in business. Need to find a new app.

Not what it used to be

I have never ever understood my companies remove stuff from software or hardware....if you are inproving something...go ahead and keeo adding features...but taking away? that is many times not an upgrade but a downgrade.

I used to love just to open the map with all the little red pins and see for myself what is AROUND ME and nit have to pick a specific catefory first....Sometimes Indin't know what I want and I just want to see a map of everything around me so I can choose.

Quick and handy

Plenty of quick options

Very Handy

This app is great for anywhere foreign.
Unfortunately, 'post offices' is missing.
We've needed a post office on every trip we've made, for various reasons- money, postcard sending, presents.
Please add post offices and post boxes.

No correspondence - Wrong address in search engine. Doesn't come up.

Hopeless! I have tried to contact them so that the address is correct. Then my business will come up in the search engine... I hope. I can see it is incorrect by the Yell business scan results. Until this can get changed and I get some support, this is pointless. I wonder how many more business are trying to be listed? :(

New contact info demand

I really liked this app until recently. Now I can’t use the app unless/until I agree to give them all my contacts info, which is supposedly necessary for their new daily Weather info. I don’t have the Around Me app for the weather. I also don’t have it to share my contact info. All I wanted it for and have been using it for (for years) is to find places “Around Me.” So now, I have to find another app. Bummer.

Broken with new “weather feature”

It seems the developers have decided we need another weather app, so they’ve added that feature to AroundMe.
Unfortunately, you can’t use the app any more if you don’t agree to grant permanent access to your device location - which they need to tell you what the weather is like where you are (lol).
I don’t want to grant access so I can’t use the app any more.
They’ve only given the choice to grant access or exit the app.
I don’t think they have thought this through!
