NOTE: five stars are qualified in their entirety by my narrative review below
A thoughtful and promising concept – immediately undone when my attempt to tap into the phone number box failed 🙃
My five stars are dedicated either to the (a) IT folks, if this is a bug, as a token of appreciation in advance for their prompt attention, or (b) creators, if this is a feature, for brilliance in ensuring even basic UI reflects the cohesive canon of discernment required of the Service,‡ including Raya,† to curate not only a “collection of global destinations” but also membership in the community with privileged access to that collection.
‡ As defined in this app’s Terms of Use as currently in effect, subject to which †Raya, ”another mobile application included in the Service,” is provided. Who says the App Store isn’t flexible? ❤️

Best way to book restaurants
I love this app for finding restaurants nearby and making a reservation on the app. Cures the decision paralysis by filtering away all the noise for you. Love it.
Fantastic app
Very well curated places.
For those who love to find truly amazing restaurants and for those who are traveling and want a good recs from a friend

I travel the world
Places has been an amazing source to find the perfect suggestions for places of all kinds: restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, museums
Meh
I recently saw an advertisement for Places on the high street and was intrigued. I promptly downloaded the app, excited to explore what it had to offer. However, my excitement quickly turned into frustration when I discovered that I needed an invite to access the app.
There was no mention of this requirement in the advertisement. It’s quite disappointing to see such a crucial detail omitted. I hope the developers consider making the app more accessible in the future or at least inform potential users about the invite requirement upfront.
Until then, I’m giving it one star for the misleading advertisement and the poor user experience.

It’s great
My only worry is unsure how to give sufficient feedback.
A curated place has appalling photographs

Requires an invitation?
Who do they think they are?? And they tell me after they take my phone number? Stay away from this app. It’s TRASH
Waitlist
What is going on? I registered and received a verification code. Entered that and now there is a waitlist…
How long is the wait? How do they contact/approve you?

Beware
If you see the marketing for this app, don’t download it unless you have an invite code. Upon opening the app, it immediately requires your phone number—After you provide your phone number, it asks for an invite code and does not let you proceed any further without joining their waitlist.
Misleading email
They send an email saying complimentary with your raya membership, follow all steps and enter my
Details then it is asking you to pay a membership fee.
