### 5/5 — Hope this app sticks around forever

*2025-04-13*

I use this app to track and log cool restaurants. It’s super simple, and though it’s quiet, I love the apple map feature and the ability to see where I’ve been and what I’ve eaten so easily. I really can’t imagine food logging without it. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-12-20*

I travel a lot and use Jimo to keep track of places I’ve been and enjoyed. I love using it and find it so fun and rewarding to log new places. I only wish you could post multiple photos to a review—I usually post food photos but I’d love to post photos of the atmospheres too.

### 5/5 — Great app, great concept

*2022-06-09*

I recommend to my friends

### 5/5 — Quality app quality team

*2022-05-21*

Hopped on the app off a Tik tok rec. Very cool concept basically giving more life to Instagram locations, giving you both recommendations from others and a sense of pride in seeing the places you’ve been able to go. Think this is set to blow up once word of mouth starts taking hold, and even if it doesn’t it’s still enjoyable to use and a novel concept. The team is also engaged with the community, and it is appreciated

### 5/5 — Awesome concept

*2022-05-03*

This is an amazing concept of an app for any foodie or travel guru. Once there are more users and the app grows it will only get better

### 5/5 — YES FINALLY

*2022-04-16*

This app is great! Functions really well and solves a problem I’ve had for a while. I’ve been making lists in my Notes and Maps apps to remember places I’ve been that I loved and places that have been recommended to me. A v clunky method but no more! I luv Jimo

### 5/5 — Unreal. So many things you can do!

*2022-04-02*

Been waiting for an app like this. Have had it from the start and as it grows it gets better and better. So many possibilities with what you can do with this. But love the concept of sharing my recs with friends in a consolidated space

### 1/5 — Beware: they give out your number

*2022-03-29*

After downloading this app I started getting onslaught with spam text messages like “your package can’t be delivered, click here” “your PayPal account has be charged 9.99; click here within 24 hours to dispute,” both linking to nefarious scam sites as a phishing attempt.

No app is worth this level of spam.

Bottom-line: they don’t protect their users.

**Developer response:** Hey, we do not give your phone number, or any of your personal information, out to anyone. Please reach out at support@jimoapp.com if you would like to further discuss your concerns.

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign Up

*2022-03-27*

I saw this app on Tiktok and thought it was an incredible idea so I decided to download it immediately! Unfortunately I have not been able to use it because it won’t let me sign up! To sign up, you have to input your phone number and you will get a verification code. I kept trying to add my phone number in and I never got a verification code. Then after waiting a couple of minutes, inputting the number again the app said that my number was an “invalid phone number”. Sadly, I can not access the app although I think it is an incredible idea and would love to enjoy it :/ Please fix this issue so I can use it with my friends!! :)

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry you’re having trouble signing in! Please email us at support@jimoapp.com and we will get this fixed for you as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Great idea!!

*2022-03-27*

I saw this app from a tiktok and I absolutely love the idea. I just got everything set up and I’m loving adding places! SO cute. 

One rec:
I love the categories but maybe make it so you can add your own? I’d love to add one for “outdoors” and “study spots” bc I feel like they should get their own categories
