## What is Flint Eats?

Flint Eats is a mobile application that was designed by researchers at Michigan State University and residents in Flint, Michigan. The app was designed with four goals in mind: 

1) To provide Flint residents with a way to share information about the quality and cost of food available from Local Food Retailers;

2) To provide Flint residents with a way to share knowledge about food preparation and nutritional value;

3) To provide Flint retailers with an opportunity to advertise affordable, healthy food to Flint residents;

4) To create incentives for food retailers in Flint to provide healthy, high quality food in safe, friendly, accessible environments.

The app provides a map-based interface, indicating where all Local Food Retailers are located (including farmer’s markets and corner stores), and a social feed  where people can create and discuss different types of food related content, including deals and tips, and in subsequent releases, reviews and recipes. The app also includes a reference library where people can learn about foods and retailers in Flint.

### 5/5 — Game Changing

*2023-03-20*

The amount of people I can share this with is insane! My current household uses it and we all love it. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

### 5/5 — Amazing Updates

*2022-10-02*

I love all of the amazing updates produced in the Flint Eats app. 2022 has been a great year for Flint Innovative Solutions new development teams.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2019-05-06*

I am hopeful that this app can be further developed and utilized by the Flint community. There are stores listed that don’t sale food at all such as car washes, liquor stores, etc. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of smiling tomato’s that I stopped looking for grocery stores nearby. If there was a filter I could better understand what was on the screen. This app would be a perfect way to find out about deals and tips for eating healthy, however, it seems like it is still in the early developmental stages. I am hoping this is not an abandoned project and I hope the creators see this review.
