Fix that. ### 1/5 — Filters *2024-02-28* What happened to the ability to filter on neighborhoods? I tried searching for River North and nothing came up!??!? Also, the continue as guest button just brings you to a log-in screen. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. As we are a relatively new app, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Based on the wording of your review - it sounds like you have used Empo for more than a few weeks. The ability to filter by neighborhood has not been removed - it is under the same filter icon to the right of the search bar, just as in the previous version you may be accustomed to. Our "Continue as guest" button, while indeed reroutes to a login page, does not prevent you from browsing the app as expected. You can simply change tabs over to the Home page and utilize the app without an account. We are constantly working on improving our user experience and greatly appreciate your review, will will be taking your feedback into account for our next release! ### 1/5 — 🍅🤡 *2023-11-16* The creator is in favor of a genocide, not inclusive to all Chicagoans, only focuses on the north side ofc. 🤡🍅 ### 1/5 — Meh *2023-07-07* Oh darn! I was looking forward to this. There are not enough neighborhoods on the list & its not easy to use ### 1/5 — This is not at all inclusive *2023-06-13* Most things on this app are up North and all around the same area. This app does not have anything south of the loop. The fact that over half of Chicago is simply being overlooked is ridiculous. ### 5/5 — Best App in Chicago *2026-08-14* I don’t know how I would leave my house without Empo. They always have the best deals, best restaurants, and best ideas for a night out. ### 5/5 — Changing how I experience the city *2026-05-12* Showed me new places, events, and activities I’ve never seen, highly recommend ### 5/5 — Amazing for Date night ideas *2026-01-21* Love this app, my girlfriend and I have been finding such great spots and specials for date night! Also love the map & for you feed, so useful ### 5/5 — Late Night *2025-11-13* App has a late night list I love this when visiting Chicago ### 5/5 — Great discovery tool *2024-04-01* Used countless times to find new things around me, helps me discover my city more than ever before ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Happy Hour finder *2023-09-09* Great app for finding deals and what is going on around you. I’ve been searching for something like this for years. ### 5/5 — Making my life easier *2023-09-01* There’s a ton of things happening, i really appreciate seeing all the things that are going on near me, especially the happy hours when I’m off of work ### 5/5 — Empo is the best! *2023-07-11* I love this app! Great for finding fun things near by! It’s also awesome to see what specials are going on to save a buck or two!! ### 5/5 — Super easy to use and helpful for finding nearby Chicago places *2023-02-10* My favorite feature is how it shows you the lunch/dinner/happy hour specials closest to you. Saving so much money! ### 5/5 — The_best *2023-02-06* It is the best for finding good places and restaurants --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
