### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2023-01-20, version 2.5*

I was really excited when I found this app but after realizing I can’t change my location, I was pretty disappointed and unfortunately probably won’t end up using it much. I live in a smaller town near a larger city (Portland) and we go into the city for dinner most weekends. I don’t want to have to drive to Portland just to use the app and even if I set it at the max distance, I still get flooded with restaurants in areas I’m not interested in instead. Bummer. 
Seems like a great app for people who are physically in the area they are searching though.

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2022-01-28, version 2.0.9*

Literally one of the worst apps ive ever used. I didnt think listing restaurant could be so complicated but here we are. Do not download. Infuriating

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2021-11-28, version 2.0.9*

Too vague. Doesn’t show most restaurants around your location.

### 1/5 — It’s just a shell for Yelp. Uninstalled.

*2021-09-06, version 2.0.9*

All the reviews are just a link to Yelp, which require a privacy-violating account to view. Deleted.

### 1/5 — App crashed when browsing restaurants

*2021-08-15, version 2.0.9*

App crashed when browsing restaurants

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-04-25, version 2.0.9*

I live in West Virginia. The only restaurant it would suggest was a good pizza hut in Florida.

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2020-10-10, version 2.0.8*

Really helpful for finding locations while traveling and getting out of a rut at home!

### 5/5 — No more dinner debates!

*2020-06-23, version 2.0.8*

This app makes choosing between restaurants so easy. I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before! This is great for vacations, spouses, and hanging out with friends.

### 3/5 — Latest version...meh

*2020-01-18, version 2.0.5*

Used to be a great, simple app which helped find new places to eat. But then it was “upgraded” and now only shows the same 6 or 8 restaurants. What used to be a fun and perfectly functional app no longer works the way it did. Too bad they fixed what wasn’t broken. I’d pay for the old version.

### 5/5 — PERFECT APP

*2020-01-16, version 2.0.5*

I have 5 kids and this app helps us so much when we need to pick where to eat. Great app!! Highly recommend!
