I had to delete the app simce I couldn’t get it running. ### 2/5 — Disappointed – Hope They Invest in Improvements *2025-07-18, version 11.7.1* 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the app in several cities and was surprised to find that almost every link I clicked on led to a broken website or outdated info.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. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-05-29, version 11.7.1* Very few websites are viewable ### 1/5 — Subscription didn’t work *2025-04-26, version 11.7* 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 ### 1/5 — First Step - Bug *2025-04-22, version 11.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Immediate error entering location, app unusable *2025-04-17, version 11.7* Downloaded app and allowed access to location. Typed in address, city, every single imaginable combination of my current location and get “invalid address” error. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-04-10, version 11.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-04-09, version 11.7* 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. ### 1/5 — App is still NOT functional *2025-04-04, version 11.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Paid only app now *2025-04-01, version 11.7* This app you can’t even use without signing up and paying. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-03-13, version 11.7* Frustrated. TRIED to cancel trial, no way to contact support. Great concept, $50, disappointing. ### 1/5 — Unusable. *2025-03-10, version 11.7* Can’t even get into app without providing payment info. No thanks. ### 1/5 — How Do I contact Customer Service? *2025-03-08, version 11.7* Is there no way to contact customer support? I’m not tech illiterate, this seems intentional. ### 1/5 — Upfront information *2024-12-29, version 11.5* The app is not upfront with their price. It looks like a good app; but, I am going to delete app. After I downloaded the app, I discovered that the screen freezes until you pay $2.99/ month or annual fee. If I knew there was a price attached, prior to download, I probably would have paid for the first month to try it out. This makes me wonder what else they are hiding. Good luck. ### 1/5 — Dishonest about pricing *2024-12-29, version 11.5* Not sure why it says the app is free when it’s not. Just put the price of the subscription up front so people can decide to download or not the app. ### 2/5 — Who to contact *2024-12-11, version 11.0* Love the app and thought was free if you don’t use the visual map, wouldn’t let me exit the pop up for free trial which I don’t actually wanna click but was tryna make it disappear and now accidentally bought the subscription which I don’t want ### 1/5 — Subscription didn’t work *2024-11-11, version 11.0* 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 ### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK *2024-10-18, version 11.0* horrible app, literally does nothing. Can’t put an address in or use location services. very disappointing the lack of care put into this ### 1/5 — Don’t download this *2024-10-17, version 11.0* App only worked first 3 days of downloading, and after paying the annual subscription, the app is not functional at all!! It’s stuck on a black page of the address, can’t detect my location or when I type my address is says it’s invalid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Empty app; “No products in this category” *2026-07-22, version 12.0* No matter what location I put there are “No products in this category” like ?? Thought it was just all of Southern California but nope, it’s an entirely empty app no matter what the address is, what’s the point? ### 1/5 — Buggy and Wrong *2026-04-05, version 11.8* 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2026-02-23, version 11.8* 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. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-13, version 11.8* 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 ### 1/5 — Impractical price *2025-07-30, version 11.7.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Paywalled garbage. *2025-06-29, version 11.7.1* Paywalled garbage. 40/year is a steep price to pay. ### 1/5 — Useless now *2025-06-24, version 11.7.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-14, version 11.7.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t get pass the the address screen *2025-06-13, version 11.7.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Address error *2025-06-12, version 11.7.1* Won’t let the location populate which makes the app unusable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So convenient! *2026-05-14, version 12.0* Love being able to use this app to get connected to local farmers for produce without having to go to a farmers market. Such a good idea!! ### 5/5 — Great Idea! *2024-03-18, version 10.1* I love this app and can’t wait to use it more! ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2023-09-06, version 9.9* Never knew they were such an app! Welcome edition on my phone. Will share with everyone.💛😉 ### 5/5 — Great idea - Needs work *2023-08-30, version 9.9* The HUGE area that invites farmers to list their farms takes up most of the screen. And it wouldn’t go away. The links to the farms worked, but I didn’t find much info. I have a new Apple phone. Maybe the app works better on android? ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-04-08, version 8.7* Great app for local food. Straight from the hands and animal that made it. ### 5/5 — Didn’t expect to see elk as an option, but why isn’t venison? *2021-04-30, version 6.3* Would also like to see mushrooms and maybe the seafood category could be split into a few less general options. ### 5/5 — Thanks for putting this together. *2020-12-03, version 6.0* Just downloaded and spent 45 minutes on the app (and looking at websites of local farms.) This is a great idea and resource! I’m in central California and had no idea there were these types of farms here. Might have to start my own... ### 5/5 — Fabulous!! *2020-12-02, version 6.0* What a great app! It’s wonderful to find nearby farms & to have items delivered is wonderful, too! ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2020-10-10, version 5.1* Can’t believe nobody has done this before, very helpful and makes supporting local agriculture less of a chore! ### 5/5 — Super Great App! *2020-10-03, version 4.0* So far, I really love not only this app but also the leading ideas behind it. I want to thank the creator for making such a great program and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
