Pointless
Can’t actually see any menus. What a waste of time
Doesn’t cover the biggest intolerance.
Hi. As everyone is allergic to weedkiller and toxic industrial chemicals. Would it be possible to add ‘certified organic’ to the intolerances search filter thanks.
Great app
It’s easy to use and works fine. Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. You just need to understand the difference between types of gluten and gluten free. All the info is there and readily available - what more could anyone possibly ask for!? Just learn how to use the app. It’s not difficult. And choosing where to eat is very easy. Honestly - I’ll be more likely to visit these pubs on the strength of this app as it makes planning much easier.

Not useful for allergies
This app needs a redesign to cater for customers with allergies. For example, if you choose to filter by no gluten (coeliac) you see loads of possible venues.
Happy days, yes?
No.
You then need to tap through each category; mains, desserts, specials etc to find there is nothing on the menu for you. Why does the app show locations that cannot fulfil any of the requirements?

No good for gluten free
Unfortunately the gluten free filter doesn’t take into account food that’s fried in the same fryer as gluten containing food. The restaurant I chose using the app informed me of this resulting in very little I could order. No chips, no mashed potato bizarrely.
Not that useful
I was interested to see an app. that would help those of us with food allergies. However, you’re limited to what they consider an allergy.
I’m vegetarian but also allergic to garlic and mushrooms. As you can imagine, this is problematic as a vegetarian. I’m surprised that it’s not possible to list garlic. It might not be that common as an allergy (?) but it’s certainly common as an intolerance.

Good idea but…
Doesn’t take into account those on a low FODMAP diet. Even with the Gluten Free filter selection you still get the option of onion loaf.
Doesn’t fill me with confidence
I applaud the idea, but the execution is appalling. It’s hard to navigate, the food details don’t load and you don’t know if this is because the filter is working or if the app is just buggy. No detail on where the allergen is in the meal so you could ask to swap or omit something from the meal. It’s taken me 30mins to navigate a harvester menu. I’d rather just have it on the menu or speak to someone. This is just an poor dining experience to have to go through.

No help if onion intolerant!
I had hoped that an app with onion in the name would include a filter, or ingredients reference, for onions. Without this, the app is of limited use for me.
Menus don’t necessarily relate to real life
Trying to establish allergen information for the menu at a Vintage Inn seemed to indicate that all possible menu choices, particularly Specials, had been listed with no reference at all to their actual availability. In other words, this app just gave us a very long list to navigate and it would have been more conveniently and better presented to put the allergens on the local menu. Time to go back to basics?

Have to allow app to access your location
You have to allow the app access to your location for it to work. It does not need to know your location to show dietary information for a chain such as Harvester. This is clearly a data mining app and should be banned. Download at your own peril.
Filter
Filter is nice - but I would like it to show the opposite. Ie show which menu items do contain the allergen - so that these can be avoided...... or to highlight the menu items with the allergen
Great concept, but confused
Love the idea, especially as my wife is celiac. However, I get a different result when filtering “Gluten Free” under Dietary (0 dishes) from the one I get when filtering Gluten (and all variants) from the Allergen filter.
Gluten Free filter does not work
Used this App a couple of times recently. The biggest problem is that if you use the Gluten Free filter no food options show at all. You don’t know this until you have tried every food category, so it is very time consuming and frustrating.
If the Gluten Free filter showed a list of all the available GF menu options straight away this would be a massive improvement.
We had to search through every menu option (there were about 20 of them) and read the allergens before realising there were only about 3 available gluten free choices.
It would have been far better to simply have GF next to the gluten free items on the menu.

Very useful - but no way to contact them about errors
I am gluten intolerant, so I am finding this app very useful.
I would have given it 5 stars but there is no way to contact them regarding errors. When you are dealing with intolerances that can badly affect people there really needs to be a contact option to correct mistakes.
Lucky the error I wanted to correct is not to do with alergins, it is to do with photos. They have used the same photo for two different pubs, the Mill in Kingston and O’Neils in Wimbledon.

Brilliant app
Love this app, great for when I am looking for a local restaurant but especially great for when I am away from home and need to find a restaurant. Easy to use too!!
Limited benefit
Was hoping that this app might have full nutritional information, or at least calories/fat/saturated/carbs/sugars/protein/salt like the Smartchef website has.
Trying to find “Heart Healthy” dishes when eating out in restaurants is so difficult and this info would enable consumers to make choices for them and be sensitive to their guests who may otherwise decline dinner invitations because it’s simply too difficult to find meals which they are able to eat.
It would be great if such a big corporate could do a tie in with British Heart Foundation to make it even easier to choose dishes that might follow the BHF suggestions for nutritionally balanced meals - these dishes do already exist! Finding them can be very difficult!

Pretty good but not perfect
This app is pretty good but it isn’t always that accurate. I love the filter system which enables you to tick the specific allergens you need to avoid. However, we tested it on a pub which we know does have its own very good filter system on the menu and at which we have eaten. This app showed nothing on their menu for someone trying to avoid dairy/milk and gluten. We know there are at least a couple of options on the menu which exclude these allergens but the app reported that there was nothing. This leads us to question whether a nil result (very common) for other eateries is accurate.

Fabulous app
Great app for collating all that you need to know in one place, able to narrow choices down to make it easier and faster to choose where to eat out when you’re alone or part of a bigger party. Great for when I’m in unfamiliar territory and don’t the area. Highly recommended 👌🏻
Fantastic and so easy to use
The concept behind this app is brilliant. It is so easy to use and makes eating out so much easier when you have allergies/ intolerances.
This is how EVERY restaurant should do it.
