Great app!
Not accurate
Response from developer
Hi! OpenKitchen shows inspection records exactly as released by health departments. If a record looks off, please report in the app or email support@openkitchen.app. We take accuracy seriously. (Note for restaurant owners: corrections to inspection records are handled by your health department only. Once updated there, the app reflects it.)
Scummy forced payments
Edit (response to developers): A lot of people usually think an app that's free to download is free, maybe with ads, maybe with optional in app purchases, but even the apps that do try to force subscriptions usually have some way of letting you use it for free. I understand the server costs thing though, but it would be a lot less deceptive if the app itself costed money instead of being free to download in my opinion.

Hey, OpenKitchen includes a free trial, after which continued access requires a subscription. Pricing and renewal terms are shown before confirmation through Apple. Subscriptions support the ongoing collection and maintenance of millions of restaurant inspection records. We hope you'll give it a try and find it worth the subscription!
Potential but not ready, especially not for the price
Response from developer
We now cover all the major US cities and are actively expanding to new places every week.

Let's make OpenKitchen better together! Please give it another try!
Has Potential, Very Inaccurate Though
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. Accuracy is our top priority. We do NOT rely only on the overall inspection score. We also consider the specific violations found during the inspection, including whether they are administrative issues or actual health concerns, such as mice or pest activity. We are improving the app to show clearer explanations behind each rating. If you notice anything that seems incorrect, please report it on the restaurant page. Let's make OpenKitchen better together!
