Despite that, the app itself would not even load the tips for any of the given locations. I logged off and back on multiple times and then waited a day in between to try again. Same issue: I tap on a place and it will simply never load. Super cool idea, just wish the app actually carried that idea out:/ ### 5/5 — The Local Info *2020-02-14, version 3.94.1* I’ve used Like a Local in Madrid, Naples, Cagliari, Rome, London... in every case, I find something or someone interesting and amazing, off the tourist radar. I even made friends with a guide! Before I travel, I first plug in my city on this app. Love it! ### 1/5 — Racist and Pathetic *2019-07-09, version 3.94.1* The developers allow a user to post that black people are somehow genetically predisposed to understanding fried chicken. When notified, the developers claim they have no control over what’s posted on THEIR app, and leaves it to users to police each other. ### 5/5 — Every time I travel! *2019-01-17, version 3.94.1* This little app is powerful! It has great secret tips and free information on cities around the globe. I use it every time I travel. Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Ho Chi Minh are all worth it! ### 3/5 — Great concept, but needs better curation *2018-02-26, version 3.71.0* I love the idea of local-submitted listings and offline use, but many listings in my own city, Disneyland and Universal Studios for example, don’t meet my criteria for “non-touristy”, so I don’t really trust the listings in other cities either. I downloaded the app because I wanted to feel like I was getting some insider knowledge when I travel, so it’s disappointing to see sites that are literally among the world’s top tourist attractions listed. Needs some kind of stronger criteria. ### 2/5 — Website is better. *2018-01-29, version 3.71.0* I actually do like the website and think it’s handy... but as far as the APP rating in itself, is much lower. I’m traveling to Mexico soon and there’s a limited list of cities on the app. I can find everything on the desktop website but not on the app. There’s only 68 cities worldwide on the app and when I explore, I can’t find a way back into the main menu so have to close the app on my phone and re-open to get to main menu. Still have to go to the website to find what I want though. The website in itself would be a much higher rating but...app is not recommended. Please update the app to include all cities in your main database! My home (the capitol of Texas) isn’t even on there, even though I’ve left multiple recommendations on the actual desktop website, trying to help others- thinking it would even show up on the app...but it doesn’t. ### 4/5 — good but buggy *2017-08-02, version 3.3.1* great app but crashes when i click on "local experience" event using it to go to brussels [edit] tips doesn't crash click local exp anymore allow removing entries from the general list,... annoying to scroll everything unable to [remove] an item from the lists page, can only do it by "unsaving" from the general list allow marking something "done" ### 4/5 — Very useful, where it can be used *2017-06-07, version 3.23* This app helped me find all kinds of interesting places in Munich. On the other hand, Nurnburg isn't even on here. That pretty much sums it up--going to a major-major city? Totally awesome app. Going into the country or even a just-major city? Not helpful at all. ### 5/5 — 10/10 must have for backpackers and travelers *2017-05-26, version 3.23* Me and my girlfriend used this app during our month long trip across Europe. I cannot recommend it enough - it allowed us to find so many things we otherwise would not have. It truly lives up to its name for allowing you to explore a city and see the local things that most people won't get to see. Best part is - almost none of it is behind a paywall. I barely know how they're making money! ### 3/5 — Just major cities in Europe *2016-12-13, version 3.6* Only major cities in Europe. None in Asia.
