### 1/5 — App appears dead

*2025-06-06, version 2.0.52*

This app appears to be defunct. No  updates in 4 years and hangs at opening splash screen. No recent reviews. Hey, Apple (or vendor) take this down if it’s non-functional.

### 1/5 — AllergyEats Over?

*2025-05-15, version 2.0.52*

Is AllergyEats gone? The app wont load/crashes when opened and the site seems broken too. I’ll be so sad if this is the case. It’s the best archive of allergy reviews I’ve ever come across and I’ve been using it for 10+ years. Please save AllergyEats!

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2025-04-20, version 2.0.52*

Not updated, doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-04-20, version 2.0.52*

I tap to open the app and it just stays stuck on the app log for about ten seconds and then force shuts so I can’t even use the app

### 1/5 — Not working🙁

*2025-04-19, version 2.0.52*

I've used the app for years, found it really helpful when I travel, but now it won't even load, and neither will the website for app support.  Seems like they've given up the ghost and left the app out there on the apps store.

### 1/5 — No longer works!

*2025-04-14, version 2.0.52*

This app used to be great for finding allergy aware restaurants but it was acquired by Sirved in 2022 and it’s obvious they’ve been neglecting it because there hasn’t been an update in years and it no longer works.  I’m on iOS 18.3.2

### 1/5 — Need update

*2025-04-13, version 2.0.52*

Love this app. We’ve used it for travel. It needs and updates for it to work in iOS 18.

### 1/5 — Will Not Open

*2025-02-16, version 2.0.52*

I would love to be able to use this app. I’ve downloaded and deleted it a few times to see if it’ll work. It will open to the red main screen that says “Allergy Eats” and close quit. ☹️

### 1/5 — No longer exists

*2025-02-02, version 2.0.52*

The app and website no longer exist. No posts or anything since late 2023. App needs to be pulled from the store since it won’t open and doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Cannot create account

*2025-01-14, version 2.0.52*

This app keeps bugging out. I cannot add my allergens on either the website or the app.

### 1/5 — App Unusable

*2024-12-08, version 2.0.52*

Would love to try it, but the login feature isn’t working to create a login, so I skipped the login and began searching, but the search isn’t working either and returns nothing. The allergen filter brings up no options. How is anyone using the app? Its main functions don’t work!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work and may not be private

*2024-11-05, version 2.0.52*

1. I couldn’t create an account due to an error that it wouldn’t explain to me - then when I tried to bypass registration, I couldn’t enter my known allergies or basically use their app at all
2. This app doesn’t share its privacy policy with apple - that’s sketchy

### 4/5 — Great app, just needs more of us to write reviews!

*2024-07-07*

I like the app very much. Just wish there were more of us using it, and writing reviews of more restaurants. I do find the app useful when I travel to larger cities, where more people have done reviews.

I find we constantly have to educate restaurants, but I appreciate restaurants with staff who are cooperative and willing to ask their chefs, look at labels, and learn.

### 3/5 — No results

*2024-05-28, version 2.0.52*

We loved using this app for years but in the last year most of the time I get no result. Recently I haven’t had a result, options for allergies and no response when I’ve submitted new restaurants to be added. Such a bummer because this was such a great app to use for my kiddo’s allergy when traveling.

### 1/5 — “Restaurant Locator” not working

*2023-11-12, version 2.0.52*

Not sure what’s going on with the app, but I have been unable to use it for quite some time now, along with the website.
On the app it claims to not recognize my account nor any of my allergies.
When I try to “submit” my allergens even while logged out, the page is just blank. That’s both on the website and the app.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-10-26, version 2.0.52*

Read about this app on the internet. You know what they say, ‘they can’t put it on the internet if it isn’t true’.
Well, it isn’t true! 😂
Just like others have said, it won’t let you register, after you enter your personal info it gives an error message.
Then, if you skip that section and just try to enter your allergies, it does not have any to choose. The articles/blogs are out dated.

### 1/5 — Can’t even search

*2023-10-18, version 2.0.52*

The app will not let you create a login, pick your allergies, or search anything. I get that it might be a bug, but it’s simply unusable and a waste of time to have downloaded.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-08-10, version 2.0.52*

I’m not sure if this app needs an update or bug fix. I have been trying to create an account and nothing works. It tells me there was an error every time, but not what the error was. It won’t let me sign in with a social media account alternatively either. I hope this is updated so I can actually use the app.

### 1/5 — This Apps is useless

*2023-08-08, version 2.0.52*

I searched for shellfish free restaurants and most of the restaurants serve shrimp. Yeah great app. Don’t waste your time.

### 2/5 — For me, useless

*2023-06-28, version 2.0.52*

I gave the app a two star review as it is probably useful for people with peanut allergies or one of the other programmed allergies. Many members of my family (including me) are allergic to mushrooms, and therefore this app was useless.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — NOPE! ‘No Details Provided’ AND broken

*2026-03-16*

I had this in the past and decided to redownload it to see if it may be of use. Big Mistake!!! 

This app says ‘no details provided’ but considering its sister app Sirved says it links you to personal data including phone number, name, email, and physical address…and considering upon opening it just shows a blank red screen BUT manages to promote you to allow your PRECISE location on maps AND prompts you to allow notifications…I would steer clear of this app. It simply would NOT LOAD. But took location data (which I always set to precise OFF, thankfully). Do with that what you will. Defunct and (I believe) a useless data mining app. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Nothing Loads

*2026-02-05, version 2.0.52*

I’ve never seen an app load so slowly. I tried for 20-30 minutes before giving up and deleting it altogether.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-12-14, version 2.0.52*

Apparently this app is gone. How sad to have a place for people with allergies to help keep safe is just gone. Downloaded and deleted multiple times and nothing

### 1/5 — Bad app- Can’t create profile

*2025-09-04, version 2.0.52*

Just gives me a generic error and does t work. 

I think this app is not maintained, bad app

### 1/5 — .

*2025-08-14, version 2.0.52*

You guys should really fix your app. It doesn’t even load up. You click it and open it, and it doesn’t even load into it hardly it crashes, but if it doesn’t crash it takes like 3 minutes to load into it and then the interface doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Used to be a good app

*2025-08-11, version 2.0.52*

This app no longer opens on my phone. I deleted and reinstalled with no help.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2025-08-02, version 2.0.52*

Looks like the last update was about four years ago. No longer seems to be working on the latest version of iOS.

### 1/5 — Crashes when opened

*2025-07-24, version 2.0.52*

I just tried this app for the first time and it crashes as soon as it’s opened

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2025-07-02, version 2.0.52*

App stopped working.  Anyone know why?

### 1/5 — doesn’t even open

*2025-06-27, version 2.0.52*

I have tried to use this app on multiple occasions and waited to review until I was sure it wasn’t a fluke. It gets stuck on the loading screen and crashes so I’ve never even gotten the benefit of the app. I’ve never made it in. I have deleted and redownloaded it and it still doesn’t work so I’m disappointed by the fact I can’t experience things others have talked about.

### 5/5 — User error

*2022-08-07, version 2.0.52*

Please delete/ignore my review. I only searched shellfish allergy in Bar Harbor and found zero reviews.

I will submit my own reviews!
Excellent concept. No way can people find this kind of information without public participation and appreciation for this site and its ilk.

### 5/5 — Must-have app for food allergens!

*2022-04-21, version 2.0.52*

We’ve used this app across the Eastern seaboard and have been guided well! Def download this app, and PLEASE rate restaurants as you go! It takes a village to keep the FA fam safe!

### 5/5 — Good Tool for Allergies

*2021-11-07*

I have been using this app for over six months now. It is a good tool for navigating places to eat with our daughter who has two severe food allergies. It currently has limited reviews, but adding to it and telling my friends about it with allergies in their families will help build it up. Metropolitan areas have the most reviewed places, but smaller towns are limited. I try to make it a point when traveling to add reviews. The quick questionnaire places a star rating value and you can choose to add info on your visit. If a restaurant is not listed, you can request to add it, which is nice.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. Thanks to restaurant reviewers like you, AllergyEats has been able to help more and more millions of users find allergy-friendly restaurants. But we couldn't agree more... AllergyEats is in a constant need for more reviews. While we hit a new record number every time a new review is added, there are still so many restaurants in the US we'd like to have reviewed, not to mention that we want our restaurant ratings to remain as fresh as possible. Fortunately, we believe food-allergic diners can find allergy-friendly restaurants just about anywhere in the US using the AllergyEats app or website, but more and more choices would be good. So please, everyone, take just a minute to review all your dining-out experiences. Every new review makes AllergyEats more valuable for our entire food allergy and intolerance community. We are all in this together!

### 5/5 — My go to app to find restaurants

*2021-09-13, version 2.0.52*

This has become a critical resource for vacation planning.

### 5/5 — I wish more people would start using it on a frequent basis

*2021-07-16, version 2.0.52*

Allergy families will spend their dollars wisely and loyally. I want to know what everyone else has experienced so I can have a baseline expectation. I love this app. Please keep reviewing ALL the places, my FA friends.

### 5/5 — Thankful for this app

*2021-07-05, version 2.0.52*

I’ve used Allergy eats for years.  Very valuable for the food allergy community.

### 5/5 — Never travel without it!

*2021-03-28*

This app is a great guide to finding allergy aware restaurants when we travel. Our son (Ana to milk, eggs, PN and TN) isn’t an adventurous eater so we don’t feel we can walk in just anywhere and ask what they can make safely. We’ve found some great chains through the app that are now are favorite go-tos when me travel!

**Developer response:** Hi Stinson - We love this review!  It affirms everything we set out to accomplish 9 years ago and why we continue to push forward every day seeking continuous improvement.  Of course, AllergyEats wouldn't be useful at all without dedicated restaurant raters, so we are so grateful to everyone who's ever rated even one restaurant!

### 5/5 — great  idea

*2020-08-06, version 2.0.50*

The only downside is it is purely crowdsourced and more people need to write reviews! Otherwise, great tool and a lot of potential.

### 5/5 — A blessing

*2020-07-21, version 2.0.49*

I have always been in fear of eating out, but with allergyeats I can easily find restaurants who take allergies seriously.

### 5/5 — Go-to for food allergies

*2020-06-16, version 2.0.49*

This app is my go-to when traveling and looking for allergy-safe food options.
