Great idea!
I own Corrado Cutlery an historic Chicago area brick and mortar and think this is a great idea. Hats off to you guys. I just signed so we will see how it goes.
Crash
Fix the app soon. Crashes after being open for 30 seconds
I hope
To the developers:
Needs to search the descriptions since the name of a business does always contain the right keyword.
This app has tons of potential, don't give up on it, make it great.

Great Idea - But
The concept of local people recommending local owner owned businesses that they like is great. The app really fails to provide anything useful and figuring out how to work it or add to it is painful.
Skip this version.

Very disappointed
Love the idea, love and have recommended the 3/50 project, but the app just plain doesn't work right. I've opened the app 3 times, waited for it to load each time, and then watched it crash - only once giving me a too-quick look at a list first.
Great Concept, Not good App
The idea and premise behind the 3/50 project is good. Surprised that it is called look local, not 3/50 project like its creator. The part that is surprising is how slow the app runs. This is not because of the phone or network, it is an app issue. If you can straighten out the slowness issues this might be a good app. Taking more than five minutes to search for a local company is not cool.

Great idea
This is exactly the kind of thing this country needs more of. A great way to help people support their local economy and community. Look forward to seeing the listings grow!
Nice try, but stick to public speaking...
I'm sorry - I'm a HUGE fan of the 3/50 project and Cinda Baxter. But, I have ti say that I'm getting tired of sub-standard apps brought to market by people/companies/personalities that should stick to what they are good at…
I'll come hear Cinda speak anytime, and I'll keep my 3/50 sticker in the window, but - well, this app leaves a lot to be desired. Very few businesses in our area, poor navigation, etc…
I'm glad the app is free, but I seriously can't understand how/why any business would pay to advertise in it??? Even with the huge push on Facebook a month ago - there are only 13 reviews or downloads?
I know Cinda doesn't like anybody to say anything bad about anything ever, but… Well, these are just my two cents...

This app. is AWESOME! Very nice, easy to navigate layout! Can't wait to put it to great use next time I'm out and about! Excited to easily be able to find the "little guys" wherever I might be! Thank you for creating this app, I'll be sharing it with all my friends!
Great resource!
I LOVE the app, and your entire program (I'm a customer and fan of buying local, not a brick & mortar myself).
Looking forward to more listings as they come (and I'm sure they will, many of my favorite local spots have 3/50 signs prominently displayed). I will definitely use this both at home, and when traveling to a new city..... I'd much rather seek out the local flavor for shopping or eating options. Thanks for this!

a national initiative promoting local ?
I run a local app promoting local businesses and events and object to a national initiative coming to our market to tell us to promote local! How about throwing your support to the local apps! They are all over the U.S. - locals in communities running little tech social media sites. How about educating the local institutions who give locavore lip service to use local media instead of YELP , or .....Look Local!

Sweet!
I love how easy this app is to navigate. I have already used it while on my trip to Houston. Kudos to Cinda Baxter and her 3/50 Project. They just keep getting better and better!
Finally...a location based app that
I am so happy this app has been made. I am sick of all the other apps that don't provide the "hidden gems" of the world that only the locals know about. I know this app is new and the developer says more listings are coming but I already found 3 shops and 1 restaurant that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. I am excited to learn about new local businesses in my area or wherever I may travel. THE BEST LOCATION BASED APP ever!

Great app!
Fantastic app and sorely needed for shoppers to support their locally owned businesses! I'm telling all of my favorite local businesses to get listed with the 3/50 Project so that more can be added to this app. Love it!
Thank you
This is not only a great app, but a great idea. As a small independent business I greatly appreciate the support. We each need to not complain that there's to few, but work towards there being many more. I know I will.
Thank you Cinda.
Thank you Cinda.
Great App for a Great idea!
I like the fact that as 3/50 grows, so will the list of local businesses in each area. I hate Corp restaurants when we travel, so this comes in handy for locating the lesser known's in the area. Good job!
Another Giant Leap!! Hurray! ★★★★★
I installed the app on my iPad too (which I take almost everywhere). I travel a lot and I'm always seeking out local haunts (who wants to shop at Macy's when you can do that anywhere?) Very easy to navigate & I already have 'my favorites' marked with that bid ole ❤ Touche!
Love it!
I love this app! It enables me to find unique small businesses! Can't wait to keep using it as more small businesses get themselves listed. It is a wonderful way to find and support the small brick and mortars upon which this country was built. I love knowing that by shopping small business, I am helping my local economy and local jobs--and this app makes it happen!

I aprove!
such a good idea!
Promising, but too few listings
This app might be ok if it included a larger directory of local businesses. Even in the NYC area, which probably has the highest density of locally owned stores around, there are very few listings. Not sure I see how this app does much more than your standard yellow pages app does...
