Complete game changer

HappyCow makes it possible to thrive as a vegan traveler. I use it all the time and it’s such a fantastic addition to my life—it’s honestly the biggest reason I don’t get a “dumb” phone!

Would be 5 stars if I could give 5 stars

App would be so much better if I could give non vegetarian/vegan exclusive restaurants 5 stars.

Sad vegan

While I find this app useful as a longtime vegan to find restaurants, especially in unfamiliar areas. I realize that they only allow a 4 star max rating review to restaurants that are not 100% vegetarian or vegan. Most of the restaurants that I frequent offer vegan options, but certainly aren’t 100%. That said, I have time and time again glossed over restaurants due to their lower rating. I recently ate the best meal ever at Nanyea Ethiopian in a conservative white town thanks to a second opinion from Google. As I spoke with the owner, she struggles to get customers through the door, but once they do, they are lifers. I am now too! However, I almost missed this opportunity because of the weighted lower rating from a handful of customers. Not only is this a disservice to those of us that eat within this framework, but it hurts small business owners, especially those that already have a disadvantage.

They removed countries visited

Bet there’s been a decline in use now and people won’t bother updating their travel food. What a stupid marketing mistake from this company.

An amazing resource I’ve used for 20 years!

I love Happy Cow and am so happy to have it. The app works well, and is a constant lifesaver - especially when traveling.

The best

We have been using the Happy Cow app for 20+ years and even in the most remote places, it has helped us find delicious vegan meals. Thank you to the folks at Happy Cow for all their hard work to keep vegans around the world happy and well-fed!

Necessity when travelling

I have been travelling in Canada and would be lost without HappyCow, especially in Quebec and Montreal.

Best app

A+

Happy Cow Is The Best!!!

Thankful for this guide…

Meat everywhere

This is a pitiful selection of restaurants that serve mostly meat but have a $12 boring salad at the bottom of the menu. Worthless to me.

Reliable

Very handy!

Where to eat if you don’t want meat

The best. The only. If you’re a veggie or a vegan or if you’re trying to find somewhere to eat with your veggie or vegan friends there is simply no better app to use.

Helpful

Very helpful app, especially when traveling.
Great community of contributors

HappyCow is great!

Loved the app and all the places it’s taken us all over US and the world. It’s been a huge blessing to find places to eat especially in areas where vegan is not common. One of my favorite apps!!!!

My bread and vegan butter for places to go

No complaints

Dig my Happy Cow

Still loved by Vegetarians …. I miss posting pictures , especially internationally as they are vegetarian dishes and not vegan but I understand the commitment and am proud of everyone . Love having my own place to look it up ….. Go Happy Cow 🆒

No support

Very unhappy that I’ve had no support when logging in. Keep changing the password and I’m still not able to have full access to the app. Will be asking for my money back if I’m not ignored.

Closed restaurants and overcharged

The App Store indicated the app was 4.99, fine, but then I was charged over $38, WTAF. I started using it and one of the first restaurants on the list has been closed for years with another restaurant in its place, so I’m assuming at least in my area this is useless. What a rip off
