Feels slow can’t find some places

I think this can be helpful sometimes. I don’t understand their scoring thing yet. But easy to understand the reports and why the way they grade them. Some places I looked didn’t come up and I think food trucks aren’t here. I hope they add them.

Response from developer

Thanks. Food trucks are on the roadmap. The Karen Score blends the health score with violation severity, recency, and pest history. Tap it for the breakdown.

Game changing app

This little app has transformed the way I choose restaurants. It’s even more useful to me than Yelp. After being sick from foodborne illness more than a few times, I am mindful of where I eat. It’s great having an ally in the search for healthy and safe dining options. It’s great to have a resource that goes way beyond health department scores for a fuller picture of the situation.
