Gross ads
Was trying to search for restaurants while on vacation, got a decent list, but while I was hungrily searching restaurants, my stomach turned and I lost my appetite due to frequent ear wax ads. I even exited and restarted the app, hoping for different ads, but the same ear wax app kept appearing. So incredibly off-putting, I switched to different search sites and won’t be going back to AroundMe. Common sense, please….no one wants to see funky chunks of ear wax while looking for anything

Tire repair
I love this app!
I had a flat tire on two separate occasions while traveling and I search ‘tire repair’ and found someone both times with no difficulty.
I have found that some of the numbers or addresses I was searching were obsolete.
I wish there was a way this app could update changed telephone numbers and address

What Happened!!??
Why is there no longer any information on the destination chosen. You tap a destination and there is no information, times, address etc. There used to be. So when are we going to get that back?
Locations not up to date
Locations are out of date especially has stations where several locations end up as empty lots.
Does the job!
Are use this app all the time! I love it it shows me the information I need to know the directions a picture of where I’m going reviews the address everything it’s perfect! I highly highly recommend using
Redundant
I used this app once or twice to find the nearest ATM or amenity AMG thoughtbit was great. It’s stayed on my iPhone unused for a few years now. Used it tonight and found it invasively in pushing an upgrade option in my face and this made me question the app’s use. I realise I can get everything I need in Google and Apple map apps.

Too many outdated businesses.
I’ve enjoyed this app on occasion BUT what keeps me away is that it is not updated enough of businesses closing or changing.
If you are in a car, or travelled a far distance based on outdated addresses- let me tell ya... it’s a bummer!

Brilliant app
This is a very useful app if you are not familiar with the local area e.g. holiday or travelling for work etc tells you your nearest bank,supermarkets,petrol station,cinema and pubs,restaurants I use mostly myself while on holiday
Updated: Handy App But Turn Location...
Old review below but this app is sneaky in that it activates to supposedly to “provide you the weather” but is really activating to get your current location and get around Apple’s new location rules. Read their privacy policy make your own decision. Regrettably, after many years, I’ve deleted it.

Handy App But Turn Location when not in use or you will be bombarded with random notifications and it will send your location periodically in the background. It would be nice if it only sent my location home when actually searching but unfortunately that’s not the case. What’s really weird is if you force quit the app, and set location to Never, it silences it. However, set to Ask and within a few minutes you will get a request for your location within minutes. Not sure how this can be if the app isn’t open. Did this three times to verify the behavior. This alone worries me that if set to When Using it would be grabbing my location randomly. It’s unfortunate. I’m giving it 4 stars for utility and minus a star for this and forcing me to turn on and off location to use.

Gas station
Used it all the time. Great app. Have switched to another app because the gas station was consistently showing “no results could be found “
