### 1/5 — Dead app

*2025-06-02*

Missing locations old checkina don’t have names any longer no updates in a year.

### 1/5 — Forgotten app

*2025-02-28*

Smokehouse locations are missing.

### 1/5 — Poor app, going to delete

*2024-02-09*

The app is buggy, does not save name of restaurant, just date and notes, so very confusing.
EG today, entered Place A as new restaurant/review; last 2 Places app lost names. When I looked at those 2 places and exited, now all 3 were titled as Place A.
Phone is new, iOS is up to date.

### 1/5 — Love KC BarBQue

*2024-01-27*

Love KC BarBQue but app will not open or work on my IOS IPhone

### 1/5 — Can’t even open - crashes immediately

*2023-11-09*

iPhone 15 pro iOS 17.0.3. 
Seems like it would be a cool app for when we’re visiting KC next week but it won’t even open. Brief flash of something and immediately crashes.

### 3/5 — Is this app working?

*2022-04-15*

I am very disappointed that things are remaining locked even though I’ve had three check-in’s, I went to the specific restaurants that are recommended to unlock founders, as seen on Tv, and bucket list yet my app is categories are still locked.  I went to 3 places but only have earned just 2 badges.  what the heck. And I’m still locked!  What a silly concept.  I’m gonna go to one more place then give up.

### 3/5 — Why are trails locked?

*2020-01-29*

It’s not clear how to unlock trails- a pop- up or something with instructions would be helpful.  Very excited to use this app otherwise!!

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2018-12-07*

Some kinks to be worked out still. The “closest” sort option doesn’t work. But I think it will be good once it’s working completely.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. This issue was addressed with release 1.0.6. Please let us know if the problem persists.

### 2/5 — Keep working

*2018-12-05*

Good overall content but the map shows the closest BBQ joint to me in Olathe is 26 miles away in Independence. Not easy to find locations close to where you're at, even when sorting by closest restaurant.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We addressed this issue release 1.0.6. Please let us know if the problem still occurs.
