Not helpful, even in Istanbul

Weird design for an app. I can’t look up a restaurant by food item or location or even meal offering. The location part of the app doesn’t link to any map app so it’s hard to find the restaurants. Not worth the price and I won’t recommend.

Broken app

App repeatedly fails to load Mexico City map and still charged me for the download. Needs serious work.

Outdated

The reviews would be excellent, if even half of the restaurants reviewed still existed. Was great for Istanbul, absolutely awful for Shanghai.

Way better than trip advisor etc.

Best restaurants I went to in Istanbul were found in this app. The highly reviewed spots that you’d find on other apps were not often good, or were too crowded. Love this app. Will try for other cities from now on.
