Can’t get started

I like the concept, so I downloaded the app. On opening it and searching for my nearby farms, I keep getting an “invalid address” error and the spinner keeps spinning trying to search. I had to delete the app simce I couldn’t get it running.

Buggy and Wrong

I tried putting in my address and location multiple times and it did not work. I clicked add my farm in the upper left as a test and it took me to a chat site that did NOT seem to be abt farming at all. Like someone bought the web address and made their own site that had nothing to do with farming. This is a great concept I’m honestly upset it’s not working

Doesn’t do anything

I love the idea of this app, but it opens up the Home Screen to type in your location and no matter how you type it in, it says “invalid address.” It never lets me get past that page. Deleted it and got a different app.

Scam

Wouldn’t even load after the input for the address. So it felt broken but also the link that you can click to add your farm sends you to a fake website not even related to farming in the slightest

Impractical price

Was a useful app a couple of years ago. I know the dev has to make money, but they totally lost the plot with the $50 annual fee. The first Google search result for the app name is a Reddit post by the dev last year claiming “100% free, no ads, no registration”. I know that’s not sustainable, but what an about face. I’m happy to chip in a few bucks for a useful app, but they’ll have to workshop the price here

thanks for the feedback. The app is under new ownership and we're making some changes in the next couple months. Hang tight for now, we'd love to hear your feedback after the changes.

Disappointed – Hope They Invest in Improvements

I really wanted to love this app. The concept—connecting users with local market stands and fresh product producers—is fantastic, especially for those of us who care about fresh fruit, veggies, meats, and dairy. Unfortunately, the execution just isn’t there.

I tried the app in several cities and was surprised to find that almost every link I clicked on led to a broken website or outdated info. Even worse, I couldn’t locate a single fruit or veggie stand, which was my main goal for using the app in the first place.

I’ll take some responsibility—I forgot to cancel before the 3-day trial ended, and now I’m out $50. Lesson learned. Still, I really hope the developers use that money to invest in meaningful updates. The idea is solid. The app just isn’t ready for primetime yet.

Thanks for the feedback. App is under new ownership and we've listened to a lot of our users feedback. Changes are coming in the next couple of months, hang tight and hopefully we'll get to a point where you enjoy the concept again.

Paywalled garbage.

Paywalled garbage. 40/year is a steep price to pay.

Useless now

I loved the concept and had the app from the very early days (I believe it was still being developed when the creator posted on reddit). I came back to it now and can't even SEE if farms exist around me before having to start a trial? That's absolutely ridiculous, I'll never give them money like that.

Doesn’t work

The app doesn’t work. It worked the 1st and hasn’t worked since. It’s an expensive app, this shouldn’t happen. I have to delete it and I hope I get my refund.

Can’t get pass the the address screen

Was excited to use this app but the current location feature doesn’t work and when I went to type my address in as the USPS has my address it said invalid address and won’t let me do anything

Address error

Won’t let the location populate which makes the app unusable

Bugs

Very few websites are viewable

Subscription didn’t work

I paid 35 bucks for this and it seems like the app name changed or something so it doesn’t think I paid for it. It keeps asking me to do a free trial and there is no opportunity to login. Something went wrong, I’m upset I lost 35 bucks

First Step - Bug

Tried to enter my location on the first screen, but not one of the 5 entries I tried returned anything but an “Invalid address. Try Again” message. Very frustrating.

Immediate error entering location, app unusable

Downloaded app and allowed access to location. Typed in address, city, every single imaginable combination of my current location and get “invalid address” error.

Disappointed

I did the trial and loved it, but once I purchased the pro it stopped working. Tells me invalid address no matter what I put in.

Doesn’t work

When inputting address it says invalid address. Cannot get past this page. Even when allowing app to use exact location it still stays on the homepage.

App is still NOT functional

I cannot use this app because it will not move past the location. It asks for my location. I’ve tried ZIP Code. I’ve tried city and state. I’ve tried allowing it to use my current location… none of them work. I see a review from a year ago with the same issues where somebody uninstalled and reinstalled just as I did and the app owner claims to have fixed it a year ago, but I’m here to tell you it’s not fixed. This app is worthless.

Paid only app now

This app you can’t even use without signing up and paying.

Disappointed

Frustrated. TRIED to cancel trial, no way to contact support. Great concept, $50, disappointing.
