Reviews of Localscope

  • Many services no longer work

    Sites/services change their APIs, and this app hasn’t been updated since 2016. Therefore, many services no longer work.
  • Not as useful as it used to be

    Searches for nearby places most often fail on Google Yelp and others. Used to be quit useful. Now hardly worth bothering with
  • Needs updating

    Needs updating. This used to be a great app. It’s time for a new version please!
