### 5/5 — R.Fuchs

*2023-06-27*

Super 😘

### 5/5 — Great app for searching local businesses

*2022-06-04, version 9.10.4*

Useful for searching businesses.  Better used in French as the English option doesn’t always have the translations. 

Also useful is caller ID to prevent call centres. 

Good job!

### 5/5 — Pas mal

*2021-05-10*

Dommage que depuis l’avant dernière mise à jour iOS 14 la mise à jour antispam ne se fasse plus, l’onglet soit ouvert ( dans réglages téléphone et blocage d’appels et identification ) la mise à jour des spams doit se faire manuellement

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2021-01-05, version 9.8.7*

I entered the correct name and address of a local business and the app wasn’t able to provide its phone number. Pathetic.

### 5/5 — Doctor

*2020-09-02, version 9.8.3*

It's simply magic. How do they do it?

### 2/5 — Scomoda!

*2020-02-29, version 9.7.1*

Non si può cercare dalla mappa!! Troppo scomoda!! Nella versione precedente lo si poteva fare!

### 1/5 — Grosse déception du groupe Fnac

*2019-09-26*

Bonjour , désagréablement surprise de voir que la Fnac , en tant que fidèle cliente mais qu’à ce jour je me dois de « boycotter » pour la simple et unique raison que le groupe invite une personne comme Magalie Berdah pour une séance de dédicaces , personne malhonnête qui non seulement par le biais de ses « influenceurs » vend et vole le peuple à travers des placements de produits douteux(provenant de chine , AliExpress et pour certains qui se sont avérés dangereux ) à des prix exorbitants. Mais qui en plus , soutient malgré son pseudo démenti un parti politique islamophobe . Je le retire de la Fnac .

### 5/5 — +++

### 5/5 — Applicazione fantastica

*2018-12-06, version 9.2.4*
