### 3/5 — Does it cost money to have this?

*2022-10-27, version 2.1.30*

The app isn’t working. It says to update in App Store but it is already updated. Does this app cost money now? It used to be free. I won’t reinstall if I have to pay for this. It’s basically a concentrated google.

### 4/5 — Customer service

*2021-01-08, version 2.1.6*

Customer service is good.

### 3/5 — Good app! but slow, and hard In small towns.

*2020-01-09, version 1.14.9*

I’m aware most small areas don’t have many places to go besides Walmart, so be aware that this probably won’t work for you if you’re in a relatively small area. But my main concern is how slow it is. It takes on average 2-5 mins to load a simple messages screen and to load my places to go to. The app seems fun but it won’t load enough for me to even enjoy it.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2020-01-09, version 1.14.9*

I’m not usually the type of person to leave a review but for the sake of everyone, I believe this app is a waste of time. When signing up, it will not log you in through email. Only on a social media platform such as Facebook and Instagram. So I signed in through Facebook but I live in one of the most urban areas of Dallas. However, it would take a great amount of time for the app to suggest me anything at all. In the end, the app is slow and selective when it comes to what you are signing in through.

### 3/5 — useful concept

*2020-01-06, version 1.14.8*

i really like the concept of this app, however i feel like it falls a bit flat for my area. 
i saw this app on tiktok, and was hoping that it would help me find more things to do in the area around me, however, there aren’t very many places listed for my area.
not being able to add places i know in my area for other people to see defeats the point of the app a bit. you can only add comments for existing locations on the app.
aside from that whole deal, the app is made pretty well. it reminds me a lot of pinterest. would be super useful if it had more locations on it.

### 3/5 — wish there was an option to add new locations

*2020-01-06, version 1.14.8*

my city doesn’t come up on the search bar because there are too few grabbd places, im assuming. i tried to grabb a restaurant, but it didn’t come up in the search result. a good feature would be allowing users to add new restaurants, or perhaps something that connects with google maps.

### 3/5 — Interesting Concept

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

I would like to give this app more stars but I can’t for a few reasons. When I try to add or grabb a place I’ve been it sometimes does not show up like it’s not in the database or something. I want to add places I’ve been that I love but I can’t when it says they don’t exist. Another reason is the about section at places aren’t too helpful and don’t describe what the place is.

### 3/5 — This app doesn’t work?

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

It runs slow, I cannot click or chose anything. It is a poorly made software

### 2/5 — Sad

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

I logged in with fb and ig but unfortunately it bugged out and didn’t let me log in. This app looked super cool sad I couldn’t see what it was about

### 2/5 — Slow

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

I admire this app but it is extremely slow. I thought it was my WiFi or date but it is just the app. Please fix this so I can use the app more

### 2/5 — Slow

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

I’ve downloaded and re downloaded the app a few times because it takes forever to load every page. It also can’t locate what city I’m in. Love the idea but unfortunately I got rid of it because I’m not about to wait 10 minutes for each page I click on to load

### 3/5 — good idea but development needs some work

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

really wanted to love this app but it was so slow and nothing was loading (and yes I was on wifi with location sharing on) - that I found myself not even being able to navigate through it. also, seemed to be some bugs with creating an account with facebook. could be really good one day though.

### 1/5 — yikes

*2021-09-21, version 2.1.18*

awful organisation, doesn’t show you everything in your area despite selecting to sort by distance, will only show you the biggest city in your state’s things to do🙃 never thought an app sucked so much

### 1/5 — Was not helpful

*2021-02-14, version 2.1.7*

I live in Tacoma, Washington and there are plenty of things to do near me. Moreover, I was looking for hidden gems and places I haven’t been before. However, the app had Taco Bell and mainstream restaurants; not, hidden gems or even great small business’ like Melon Seed and T-town Cafe. Grabbd also tried referring me ALL the way in Seattle, which is not close at all. For example, Federal Way is way closer and has a bunch of hidden gems like Ezell’s and Sub Zero ice cream. This app was not worth it and DEFINITELY a one star rating.

### 1/5 — Delete Account

*2020-01-20, version 1.14.9*

How do I delete my account?

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-01-11, version 1.14.9*

Won’t let me change my location so so stupid wish it would so I can plan out my future trips better!!! Don’t find the point of making an account and why u had to in the first place

### 1/5 — not good

*2020-01-10, version 1.14.9*

it’s not very useful to find places where you actually stay.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2020-01-09, version 1.14.9*

Super annoying to set up, doesn’t really work when you make an account then later try to connect Instagram. Wouldn’t let me update my location manually.

### 1/5 — Update the bugs on this app - for everyone’s sake

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

1.) This app is INSANELY slow and sometimes unresponsive. I checked my internet because I thought it may be me, nope. What about it is slow? Just about everything. Profile picture won’t upload, pictures for restaurants don’t show, and when they do, it takes a hot minute. I shared a link with my friends, very cool! Except the pictures for the restaurants WON’T LOAD.

2.) Pictures sometimes won’t load, and I have to individually tap on each restaurant to see if there are any pictures.

3.) The gray filler pictures are confusing. You’ll never know if there’s a second, or third photo provided for the restaurant, or if it just won’t load. 

4.) The concept of this app is very cool and easy to navigate, but it’s frustrating to use. 

Thanks, ciao

### 1/5 — Does Nothing?

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

The app has an option to sign up using an email, except once you enter your email and press continue it doesn’t actually take you anywhere. The email option isn’t an actual option because the only way you can make an account is by logging into one of your socials. Definitely don’t like that. #2, the app keeps crashing on me, every page is blank and when I try to press anything else the app immediately crashes. Saw this app oh a tik tok but it was probably just a paid advertisement because this app does nothing I guess.

### 1/5 — loading screen

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

it has super cute loading screens, i love going on to find places to go and being greeted with loading screen after loading screen! the design of the loading screen really helps distract from the fact that that is the only feature!

### 1/5 — Deceptive and unscrupulous

*2017-12-20, version 1.11.10*

BEWARE: The only way to use this app is through inter-app connectivity. You are forced to sign up through either your Facebook or Instagram account. If any users have used Tinder then you should already know unlimited access of your private and personal information is granted to the app developer(s) and then sold to third parties.

### 5/5 — Cute and handy for food and travel!

*2021-07-27, version 2.1.14*

This app is great for planning future trips since you can explore areas with the map and create lists of the places you want to try! I also use it to keep track of places that I have already been to and whether I like them or not

### 5/5 — Best travel app

*2020-12-04, version 2.1.5*

This app is so great for planning trip itineraries or even looking for something to do in your own city! You get to feel like a local while on vacation and find out all the secret spots! I love it!!

### 5/5 — A great way to organize list of the beat places all over the world

*2020-11-11, version 2.1.5*

I love Grabb app and have been using for quite awhile already. For me its easy to organize list of places I want to try, places I loved from all over the world that I can suggest for my friends, all the amazing  places I’ve been in the city I live and somehow support this business, specially now that we are living a time where those from food, entertainment and retail industry need all support possible. I’m happy to be part of it and share this with everyone.

### 5/5 — Love Grabbd

*2020-11-10, version 2.1.5*

I use Grabbd to track all the places/restaurants I want to visit and mark off those I loved. Grabbd makes it super easy to keep track of everywhere I want to visit and review them after. Great tool for the foodie or traveler!

### 5/5 — well organized + remarkable concept!

*2020-11-10, version 2.1.5*

I’ve been a grabbd user for about six months now. In that time, I’ve had plenty of time to use other apps, and can attest grabbd is the best. It combines the best features of many apps into one, especially the map function, which allows me to group locations when traveling to. The team is highly open to feedback, and works extremely hard on improving their services for all users!

### 5/5 — please add?

*2020-01-26, version 1.14.10*

ok can i just say i freaking love this app? i spend hours organizing dream vacations and places to go with friends, and i even got them hooked! there are some things i’d like to see tho:
- an option that allows us to submit a place that we can’t already find on the app
- an option that allows us to submit information (location, hours, etc.) about a location w/o any
- an option that recommends people to follow in your area
- another option that recommends new places in our area
- an option that allows us to submit places into categories (vegan, outdoors, dessert) that aren’t already shown in them. since I live in a small town, the categories are pretty empty so it’d be sweet to be able to do this. 

tysm!! can’t wait to see what’s in store!

### 5/5 — Ok be honest who’s here from the tiktok

*2020-01-17, version 1.14.9*

😳😳😳

### 5/5 — Amaizing App

*2020-01-15, version 1.14.9*

So much better than Trip Advisor. It is now my go to app for reviews and recommendations.

### 5/5 — Won’t work

*2020-01-05, version 1.14.8*

I’ve deleted and redone loaded this app over three times, and it still won’t work. Everything just keeps freezing and I can’t search anything or do anything that this app offers

### 5/5 — Perfect for finding new spots!

*2017-12-24, version 1.11.10*

Great app for foodies or people who travel. I love how I can create go-to lists and send to friends and family. It also helps by keeping places I want to try or other travel lists organized! I'm always finding a new restaurants to check out. Love using this app!
