### 3/5 — Sign in broken

*2023-01-29, version 1.7.7*

Can’t register or sign in, which is required to save events/destinations.

### 4/5 — Bad user experience

*2019-03-07, version 1.6.1*

I like the look and feel of the interface but am annoyed by the full-screen pop-up ads that come back every time I switch to a different page. I was hoping that the app doesn’t have to rely on advertising financially but even it does, why can’t it find a more native/less intrusive way to place ads? (could be ‘sponsored posts’, smaller/swipeable banners, or at least ads with some frequency capping so that the same ad doesn’t show more than necessary ...)

### 4/5 — Great app, some small issues

*2018-12-25, version 1.6.0*

Quality of life issues need fixing, like how hard it is to swipe between items / register a tap on small button like heart.

### 3/5 — Mixed emotions

*2017-12-03, version 1.0.4*

I like the set up and its features, and I also like what it has to offer. BUT! If it takes forever to load when you have strong WiFi I’m not likely going to use it just based out of lack of patience, plenty of other sources with identical information.

### 4/5 — Great idea! Needs polished...

*2017-06-05, version 1.0.1*

Love the idea and format of this app! Will be visiting L.A. For E3 next week and was hoping to find a good companion app to explore the area while I was down there. Nothing is loading as of this moment, and the "events" page crashes the app completely when you go to open it.

### 1/5 — Terrible functionality

*2025-03-19, version 1.7.10*

This app is a disappointment and clunky.

### 1/5 — No customer service?

*2020-02-02, version 1.7.2*

I have a bunch of questions about my account, the app, ect. I can’t find a customer service number or email.

### 1/5 — Discover LA

*2019-12-28, version 1.7.1*

Not feasible

### 1/5 — How many people have to complain about not being able to login and save places before you fix it???

*2019-07-10, version 1.7.0*

How many people have to complain about not being able to login and save places before you fix it???

How about..... fix it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — Clumsy app

*2018-12-25, version 1.6.0*

Clumsy app. Doesn’t allow me to sign up. You would think it would be better. Much better. They should take this down and start over.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2018-05-24, version 1.5.1*

First it wouldn’t let me make an account so I could save my favorites. Then once I finally made an account it wouldn’t let me actually save a favorite.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-04-03, version 1.0.5*

Is app does not do anything it’s terrible it doesn’t even help you navigate Los Angeles it’s just a bunch of ads it should be taken down it’s not worthy to be an app that represents Los Angeles

### 2/5 — Ok

*2019-02-06, version 1.6.0*

Hard to navigate

### 2/5 — Seems ok can’t login

*2018-12-29, version 1.6.0*

The app seems interesting but I can’t login to save anything.  During the sign up process I kept getting an error notice but on their desktop site it seems that the sign up worked.  When I came back to the app I still cannot log in.  This is not helping me.

### 2/5 — Design is great, but loads very slow

*2017-07-14, version 1.0.2*

Design is great, but loads very slow

### 5/5 — Easy to find events

*2019-05-10, version 1.7.0*

Like it

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2019-02-21, version 1.6.1*

:)

### 5/5 — ¡Love it!

*2018-12-23, version 1.6.0*

This app is very reliable and useful for discovering new places in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is my favorite city, and I love how this app hooks me up with all the places throughout LA. This is the best app I downloaded.

### 5/5 — friendly

*2018-04-20, version 1.0.5*

This is a great app

### 5/5 — Beautiful Design

*2017-08-13, version 1.0.3*

Stunningly designed app.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2017-08-06, version 1.0.3*

This has opened a whole new world in the city. Highly recommend for people who are touristing and people who have lived in LA their whole life

### 5/5 — Discover LA app actually lets LA discover you.

*2017-07-28, version 1.0.3*

This app actually provides a highly contextual experience. I originally thought I would use this app as a map to get around the city and find attractions but it is much more! The content is highly curated with guides spanning niche topics such as "top places to find cold noodles" to "waffles across the city."

The events component is also very nice and gives you a flavor of the diversity of current and upcoming events that range from popular shows at the Staples Center to intimate acts at local venues.

I'd definitely recommend that you let this app put the flavors of Los Angeles in your mouth, sites of Los Angeles in your eyes, the sounds of Los Angeles in your ears and the city of Los Angeles in your palms.

### 5/5 — Seems like a brand new cool discovery app!

*2017-07-01, version 1.0.2*

Wow! From first seconds felt in love with this app, nice and fast way to find something cool and interesting about my lovely city.👍😊

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-06-23, version 1.0.2*

Cutting-edge app for a travel-based platform. Great interesting idea and very helpful in finding new places to visit in this world-class city of Los Angeles.

### 5/5 — Love it 🔥🔥

*2017-06-02, version 1.0*

Great App!
