I highly recommend trying this out as it could help you find your new favorite foods! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-18, version 1.0* Pretty cool take on a restaurant picking app. I definitely like the mass of options in the filter and more options than type of food. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2017-02-18, version 1.0* They've thought of everything with this app! Finally something to help with that dreaded question, "Where do you wanna eat!" Brilliant! ### 5/5 — Food Genie really WORKS!! *2017-02-17, version 1.0* Such a simple concept, but I've never seen anything like it. Takes the tedium out of picking place to eat and actually makes it feel like a cool game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-11-06, version 1.2.2* Same few choices over and over constantly repeating itself. Very disappointed **Developer response:** Thank you for reviewing. The results are based on what is around you. If there is not much try looking at filters. Expand your search area. Hope that helps and if so please review again. ### 1/5 — I just had to review this app *2018-09-01, version 1.2.2* Loved the idea, it’s like restaurant roulette. I spun the wheel probably 10x and every time me I got 1 of 3 restaurants! Three places that are just “Eh...”. Wish there was some way to exclude them. Also it seems that whatever “random” algorithm they use is definitely not random. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review. Much of the choices available are based on your location. Nothing can be done about that. However, we are working to add features that you will find helpful. Please also try using the filters which will help. It may be that you need to broaden your search area. ### 2/5 — not opened *2024-07-22* the first spin was a restaurant has been closed for 2 years **Developer response:** It pulls info from Yelp. Try changing your filters to get better results. Hope that helps. ### 2/5 — Seems rigged *2018-08-12, version 1.2.2* Seems to always land on the same restaurants. Doesn’t save your filters. Too many food variations to redo filters every time. **Developer response:** We promise it isn’t rigged. If so, then it would be a free app with advertisements. We are working to improve the filters to make it easier to change them. Thanks for the feedback. ### 2/5 — Okay, app. *2018-06-14, version 1.2* I wish there could be an option to see the restaurants near you and add them into the wheel. It’s more of a the wheel chooses restaurants and you spin situation. Maybe it’s where I live that plays apart of it. Although I do think the choosing of which restaurants would be a good option. And the main review for restaurants that pop up on yelp are all horrible ones!! **Developer response:** I am looking to add that feature soon. Also don’t forget to try the filters to help you with your decision. I hope you’ll come back after I add the feature to review Food Genie again. ### 3/5 — Need ability to move restaurants off list *2017-03-23, version 1.0* I have some restaurants that I really don't like. There should be a way for me to rate them and take them off the most so they're never on my wheel. **Developer response:** This will be coming in a future update. Thank you for your suggestion. ### 3/5 — It has potential :) *2017-03-04, version 1.0* If I was able to use zip code as an alternative to using gps location. Once that's an option I can give a more through review. Let me know when this is a possibility. Three stars only because I want to see the app to continue to be developed. ### 4/5 — International coverage *2017-02-20, version 1.0* I work in a major European city, and did not believe this app would work here. To my surprise, it's great. I especially like the distance setting- our city is huge. If the app just listed everything without regard for distance, it would be useless. Great job. ### 5/5 — Decision made! *2019-08-14, version 1.3* Great app. Easy to use. Found a great little restaurant near us that we had no clue was there. Helps me and my wife decide where to eat. Plain and simple. ### 5/5 — Food Genie granted our food wishes *2018-11-06, version 1.2.2* The omnivores dilemma is that when the options are endless the choice is complex. Not so with food genie. We consider him our unbiased third party and decision maker! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nifty app for foodies with smart phones *2018-09-30, version 1.2.2* Used in South Bay Los Angeles and Nashville. Picks winners and haven’t been disappointed yet- except when I DIDN’T use it! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. There is more to come so keep an eye out. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-06-03, version 1.2* It does it’s job well. I even found a great restaurant nearby while on vacation. ### 5/5 — Game changer!! *2018-06-03, version 1.2* Deciding where to go eat can be interesting and a pain at times in our household. Well not any more. Now when we can’t decide I ask my husband to ask Food Genie. Highly recommend this for any relationship. It’s a game changer. ### 5/5 — Great for finding your new favorite spot! *2017-11-21, version 1.1.1* I wanted to find somewhere new to eat, so I checked out Food Genie for assistance. I utilized the wheel and was navigated to a new spot that I had never visited but that is now one of my new favorite places! Keep making this app better! ### 5/5 — Poof! Works great! *2017-06-06, version 1.1* Super useful app! ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-04-17, version 1.0* Takes the pain out of deciding where to eat! If it's a third party making the decision then no one can get mad! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-04-05, version 1.0* Where do you want to eat?? Here's the answer... I love this app! ### 5/5 — Urban Eats *2017-02-25, version 1.0* I live in the most diverse city in the USA. (Houston, Tx) All of the filtering options for specific types of food are really helpful. It is a fun way to discover unexpected options. ps. The wheel of choice can also be used to entertain a toddler, according to my grandson. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
