Major Drawback
Very useful app when navigating a new city with great filtered suggestions and non of the spam. Unfortunately some of the bara on here have been closed months or years ago and there is no way to report this to the developer.
Essential travel app
Absolutely beautiful. Love the human curation. I find myself depending on it with travel as well as locally. In a sea of sameness among travel apps, this has to be the best one.
Dark-Pattern App That Should Never Have Passed App Store Review
Yet another app on the App Store that should never have been approved.
You cannot use it unless you purchase an annual membership. You cannot even see a glimpse of what the service actually is.
And you only discover this after the app has already extracted most of your personal details.
This is a textbook example of a dark-pattern onboarding flow: force the user to surrender personal data first, reveal the paywall later.
Relevant rule (App Store Review Guidelines)
The practice conflicts with the spirit of:
• App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1 – Data Collection and Storage
Apps should only request user data that is necessary for the app’s functionality and should do so transparently.
• Guideline 3.1.2 – Subscriptions
The value of a subscription must be clearly explained before asking the user to subscribe.
Requiring personal information before showing the core service or its value proposition is generally considered misleading onboarding and a form of dark pattern design.

Gets sensitive info > hard paywall
They paid for the app to get built, now they want the money back from you.
Hmmm
Some really terrible selections, very awkward interface, way too long set up and no option to delete your profile.
Real good app
What’re we talking about. This is obviously the best app to find great places.
Membership is mandatory
You can’t use anything in this app unless you pay for the yearly subscription. I don’t see the point of that.

Someone should please send me an invite code. Thank you
Not useful
What a pretentious app!
Download this right now
I actually use this app everyday. You need to find a cool place to eat? Something exciting to do? Want to find some culture in a new place? Or looking for a last minute reservation? This is the place to find it. Everything on the app is curated and recommended by professionals, you will only have good experiences at the places it recommends. You can also see where your friends go, save places you look or want to go, and create a digital archive of all the places you go on life’s journey!

Data collection galore
This app asks for all your info upfront such as date of birth, phone number, email, full name location, contacts etc. only for the last page to be a prompt for a full paid subscription! Unbelievable, this sort of business practice should not be allowed anymore.
Waste of money
Don’t do it. You feel special for getting approved (after several months) but after $$$$$$ most of the time no real connections. Save your time and money.
Racist and discriminatory
Self explanatory title.
No Real Curation
In my city, the app lists a hotel that’s been closed for *six years* as a top pick — alongside an outpost of a mediocre chain bakery. Clearly no one has reviewed any of these places with any depth or thought!
Umm
Can’t even open the app. The devs have given up on making a functional product it seems.
Steal all my information first before paywall, got it.
Absolute scum of the earth developers. They take all your personal information and right before you enter the app it won’t let you in unless you pay. Scam. Reviews are probably fake too.
useless
insane to take all of my information and THEN tell me I need an invite or to buy a membership.
Didn’t know I needed it
Honestly the best app for travel—and doing it well. Has helped me find incredible new spots and share my favorites. Use it regularly and there’s no going back.
Not work on new phone
I have changed my IPhone and now they ask me for invite code or to pay but my previous account was a lifetime free account and I can’t login on it again now. Please fix it

Sexy places for sexy people
