Inspection reports aren’t up to date

This was a great app but I can’t find Information for Alameda County or city. Often inspections aren’t listed so I have to go to the county site anyway

Orange County better

Orange County actually goes in depth and lets you know what the facility did wrong. Contra costa has a lot of work to do but overall the app is still wet af kinda

Helpful

Nice to be able to check the restaurant I want to go to. I wish the color coded circles (green and yellow) were explained somewhere and that the violations were more descriptive. All in all every restaurant has its problems occasionally. We just have to have some trust and use this app as a precaution.

Works fine

I just wish it could Include more detail of violations places get. Your able to fine all any restaurant in California!

Better than Nothing

It is what it is. I like having this tool to check out local restaurants. At the end of the day, though, one never really knows when there will be a problem with food consumed in restaurants. It just takes a day for something to go terribly wrong and you end up with food poisoning. I like Dr. Oz's guidelines to avoid certain foods and always check the rest room (if they don't care about cleaning what people DO see, what must the kitchen be like?).
