User reviews

The idea is there and it’s a first of its kind.

The idea is there, however the app has a long way in terms of functionality that could make it much better.
1. As of right now there is no listings in Rhode Island.
2. Couple of ui bugs.
a. When clicking more info, the information is all the way at the top, little to no new info, phone number mainly, and the exit button is not in a good spot I couldn’t click it. Easy changes could be more info on the business, and being able to slide left to right to exit or lower the X button would work fine. (Issue not found in all listing only those with nothing but a number on it.) If it’s too much to add info to each business at least centralize information presented so that the x button isn’t in a different spot for different listings.
3. there’s just an over all feelings of unfinishness, mainly in the information department across the board from listings to your very own “my info” could just use more information.

overall it has the potential to be something good if the team takes a step back and works on making sure the options listed more expansive, and more detailed.

Love This App!!!

I’ve been waiting on something like this to support our own people. The sad thing is not too many BOB in Las Vegas isn’t on here yet. Hopefully the word gets out... Thank you

We Needed This

Especially For When We Travel The World! I Wish I Knew Where To Get My Hair Braided Here In Honduras That Won’t Take My Edges With It🤔. I Wish I Knew Where To Find Make Up My Skin Tone. I Wish Many Things That This App Is The Solution For.

How do other Black Businesses sign up?

I’m a black esthetician in RVA and would like to sign up.

Allow users to add businesses!

The idea is definitely there! This app would be 10x better if users were able to add black owned businesses that they know of in their area that can be reviewed by whoever runs the app. Bc right now on the app I only see a few businesses in my area when I know there are several others than listed.
