Terrible

If you live in china stay away from this. Horrible interface and search features

A bit outdated

While there are lots of current restaurants found here, the culinary landscape in Shanghai changes quickly and has changed even more drastically since 2019. About half of the restaurants I looked at in my neighborhood (Xujiahui) have no new reviews since 2018 or 2019 and I’m 99% sure they aren’t there anymore, which makes it a waste of time to read about them. Perhaps app managers should do some research to clean up outdated content.

A slow and now final death

Over the past few years this app has been spiralling into decay with each update. From May this year (2023) it finally was laid to rest and no longer works.
