Fixed an issue with logging in as a restaurant owner

Wouldn’t let me enter location

The app allowed me to enter all the other info up until I got to the location part. I tried entering my zip code, then city, but the continue button wouldn’t light up blue to continue to the next screen. I tried contacting the developer of the app, but they never responded. Would’ve been nice to find restaurants to accommodate my allergy needs while we travel next week. Oh well.

Great Idea—hard to trust

I love the idea of this app. As the mom of a young child with a life threatening peanut allergy, it’s daunting to eat food from outside our home. In its current state, my biggest concern with the app is that if a restaurant has not yet provided an ingredient list, it presents as safe (for example, Cold Stone Creamery currently shows the safe icon and even when I look at something with peanut in the name, it displays the safe icon). I’d recommend defaulting to a caution icon if ingredients aren’t provided.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have information on risk of cross-contamination and the date of the last update (menus change frequently and if the information is from January of 2021 and it’s now end of 2022, there has probably been a menu update or two).
Unfortunately, I just don’t feel that I can trust this app for guidance on safe dining. I still have to do just as much research as I did before using the app.

Add allergies

I just got this app but I can already tell it’s going to be a lifesaver. The only thing is I also have a wheat allergy and I can’t select that as an option. Thanks!!

L App

I hate this app it’s bad the developer punted my dog out the window. I can’t believe this app it’s so useless it doesn’t tell me which foods I’m allergic too even though I’m not allergic to any food. The developer put my firstborn in the microwave. Honestly just unfortunate I had such high hopes for this app because the developer is my son. This is so sad. 5/5 stars
