### 5/5 — Great App for Local and Healthy Food!

Maize is an excellent app for finding locally sourced, farm-fresh food and drinks. It has a handy map showing nearby farmers markets, restaurants, and more. I love the easy location change feature, which helps me find great places wherever I go. It’s perfect for supporting local businesses and discovering healthy options. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Maize App is great to find local healthy food.

*2024-09-09*

Maize is a great app that helps the user find healthy and organic food/drinks based on their location. These foods/drinks are coming  from trusted farmers. Also it shows you exactly where the restaurant and market is getting their food from. If desired you can engage with others to find out what recipes they use and you can also share your recipe’s as well. The app is very organized and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to everyone that wants healthy and trustworthy food.

### 5/5 — Farm-Fresh Locally Sourced Map

*2024-09-07*

This app is pretty cool. It has a map that displays verified locally sourced farm-fresh businesses, farmers markets, breweries, wineries, restaurants, and farms within a radius. Where I live there are no farms around, so I chose my closest city that I visit for my results and found some locally sourced places to shop, eat and drink while I'm there. I have friends in other major cities, so I easily changed my search results to their location and found that they have way more results, but the population is way higher. The change of location option is great to plan a trip ahead of time to see where I am going to purchase my food and drinks I can only expect with time and the help of sharing and word of mouth, that this app will only get better with its results.

### 5/5 — Unique farm to table app

*2024-04-25, version 1.19*

You must live in an urban area but has a huge selection of locally sourced and organic produced right at your fingertips

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No Dallas Texas info

*2024-04-30, version 1.19*

I had to pay $1.99 just to discover that there aren’t any local farms or ranches or producers. The closest one were 800+ miles away. Warning to Texas residents!

### 1/5 — Forces a paid subscription just to explore the app

*2024-03-06, version 1.18.16*

I was shown a subscription prompt with no demo or option to explore the app without paying. There was no way around this. To proceed I would have had to agree with the App Store billing popup. Deleted the app immediately.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-03-06, version 1.18.16*

Purchased Lifetime Premium IAP and the app still shows I have the Basic plan. It also continues pushing me to purchase the premium plan. Verified IAP purchase in my account purchase history. If premium is activated and I’m able to use the app, I’ll update my review.

### 2/5 — Small database; USA only

*2024-03-07, version 1.18.16*

Great concept, but not very useful in the USA unless you live in a major city, and even then expect only a fraction of local places to be listed. Outside the USA it is completely useless. The developers need to work harder to add more locations instead of relying on their paying users to add them. I make this negative review in kindness, because I really would like this to be a massive, global database of healthy food, and hope this is helpful criticism.

### 3/5 — Very confusing

*2024-03-10, version 1.18.17*

I got the lifetime subscription. After doing this, it still wanted me to pay for something else. Not acceptable. Deleted the program as I got the lifetime and it still wanted more.

### 3/5 — AppAdvice…

*2024-03-06*

This is no reflection on the use of the app… I’m sure it works well.  This app was featured today, 3/6/24 as free on App Advice. However, despite their “easy” instructions, I cannot figure out! There is supposed to be no charges for the lifetime version but where is that option?  It said to unlock the paywall tap “Unlock Locavore”, “view other plans”.. then select the “Lifetime $0.00” option to redeem… I would like this app but I can’t seem to find these options 🤨

**Developer response:** Hi Shop NB. We are disappointed in an honest, but detrimental testing error that ended up misaligning the AppAdvice instructions with the actual user experience when the promotion first started. It was completely on us. We do believe we have built a really good app that exists behind this mistake, that we have since resolved, and we would love to get another chance at a review from you once you have had a chance to use the app. Could you please  provide your email to info@maize.app so we can manually add you to our "free for life" list? Your feedback is valuable, and we again apologize for the experience you had.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-03-06, version 1.18.16*

Fantastic idea but only two restaurants in my area. I was hoping to find places I could buy locally sourced food like produce and eggs. 

The app needs work too. Words are truncated and sometimes unreadable because they start off the screen along with some of the graphics that do the same. iPhone 13pro

### 3/5 — Disappointed that there’s no Georgia info

*2023-10-20*

Had high hopes but disappointed that this app doesn’t seem to cover many areas. Would have been nice to know ahead of time in a “not free” app. Lol, big city like Atlanta GA isn’t even a choice. Don’t know who hurt you from there. Seriously, maybe this will eventually be a great app that includes more areas, just not yet. Look forward to you covering more areas

**Developer response:** We apologize for the significant oversight of Atlanta, GA missing from the city list. Thanks for bringing that to our attention and for providing honest feedback to help us make the app better. This morning we added Atlanta to the list, and immediately began research and verification for Georgia. We have added 20 businesses so far in various categories. We will continue to add more! Our company is only a few months old and we intend to continue to fill the map up across the country. We are launching a significant update soon that will include new features and a premium experience, which we will offer to you free for life if you could provide us your email address that you used to register for the app. Please send that info to info@maize.app. We will continue to work to improve your experience with Maize, and we hope we will have the opportunity for an improved review.

### 4/5 — Very nice app

*2024-04-11, version 1.18.17*

I really like the images on this app, they’re gorgeous and well executed. Also, I like to see what options there are here in Hawaii for farm to table. Nice, sustainable idea.

### 5/5 — Farmers Markets Best Friend

*2025-07-16, version 1.40*

Great to find small local farmers markets, especially for ones that don’t have a huge online presence!

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great finds!

*2025-07-08*

I’ve been really enjoying this app a ton. It’s becoming a go to tool for finding farm fresh ingredients and discovering new spots focused on healthy living. The design is clean, it’s simple to use, and getting started took barely any time. One of my favorite parts is how it connects me to local food places I hadn’t heard before, which means I get to support small, local businesses while making better food choices. I’ve even started chatting with other users about recipes and local hidden gems. It’s more than just an app, it’s like a little community for people who care about what they eat.

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-06-30*

Maize looks like an essential app for anyone serious about eating well and supporting local. With a strong 4.6-star rating and focused on 'Organic Local & Healthy' food, it immediately signals quality. The recent update with 'discovery UI improvements' and a 'new food facts view' sounds incredibly helpful for finding exactly what you need. For natural foodies looking for grass-fed or pastured options, this app seems to be the ultimate guide. It’s great to see a dedicated app for conscious eating!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-04-03*

Maize is a fantastic app for finding local farms and healthy food options! I love how easy it is to discover fresh, organic produce and support local farmers. The app’s interface is simple to use, and the search feature makes it effortless to find nearby markets and farm-to-table options. It’s great for anyone who values fresh, healthy eating and wants to make better food choices. If you’re looking for a convenient way to access local, high-quality food, Maize is perfect.

### 5/5 — Great App for local food lovers

*2025-03-30, version 1.35*

Maize makes it so easy to find farm fresh healthy ingredients from local sources. The interface is smooth and I love how it connects me with fresh seasonal options nearby definitely must have for anyone who cares about their food and where it comes from..

### 5/5 — App

*2025-03-26, version 1.35*

Good app, shows you a map of local vegetables

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2025-03-24*

Wow.  This app is great.  I though it would be just another app that I’d end up deleting, because it would either cost to much, or not be what it claims to be.  But so far I love it.  The set-up was easy and quick, so I was able to create an account and start checking it out right away.  It has so much to offer.  I have found new health places to eat and buy my food from, which are all local so I’m helping to support small businesses from going out of business, which is really important to me.   I’m able to migrate through the app easily. Most of all, I love having the ability to meet and talk to people that love eating health too.  I’ve been comparing and sharing recipes, and even for some local healthy eateries I never knew about.  There is a lot more I could say about this amazing  app but I can sum it up easily AMAZING.

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-03-23, version 1.33*

I recently tried the Maize Taste Local app, and it’s such a hidden gem! It offers a fantastic variety of authentic local maize-based recipes that you won’t easily find elsewhere. The app is well-designed and easy to navigate, making it simple to explore different traditional dishes.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-03-17, version 1.33*

I’ve been using Maize for a while, and it’s an amazing tool for discovering local, organic, and sustainable food sources. The interactive map makes it easy to find restaurants, farmers' markets, and stores that focus on healthy eating.

### 5/5 — A great app to access organic and local goodness

*2025-03-14*

Maize is a great app that allows me to get access to organic and locally sourced food.  One of the features that stood out to me is that Maize focuses on farm-fresh foods which are healthier compared to mass-produced foods. The app also has a great interface that is quite easy to navigate. Maize is a great app for those who prioritize healthy eating.
