### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-10-13, version 1.2*

There are plenty of apps that give you access to this information. However this app provides by far the best user experience - great design with few clear options!

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-09-23, version 1.2*

This is a really well designed app. Simple but aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Easy to use and not so many sort/search options that you don’t know what you’re doing.

### 5/5 — Excellent app - simple and easy to use

*2017-06-06, version 1.0*

Really good app making it easy to see hygiene ratings for restaurants around me. Also kinda scary to realise some of those I've dined in are not what you might hope or expect!
