Bug fixes

Not good

Searching for restaurants doesn’t work and the app is too large to fit on the device screen itself. Seems like a good idea if it worked.

Spinning Wheel of Death

Would be great but the app doesn’t work. Whenever I try to bring up options around me it just spins and stops working :(

This needs to be linked to Google Maps/Yelp!

Plastic Score is what I’ve been looking for for years! I want to support businesses that promote zero waste and use sustainable or compostable materials. I also want to be able to bring my own cup or use a reusable cup/utensils where possible. If this can somehow be linked to Google Maps or Yelp, people can see all the relevant info in one spot, kind of like the carbon emissions rating in Google Flights.

Could be my most important app

But no one uses it in my area.

IMO the solution is simple, make the rating quick and easy. Let ratings be based on user perception instead of objective ratings (just like this 3-star rating I’m giving right now). The only things the user should need to select is dine-in vs take-out and then their own sustainability 1-5 rating. Everything else could be optional for the objective rating.

I love the app idea, but in order to reach critical mass, it needs to be functional to a bigger user base.

Wonderful idea, buggy and terrible app

App crashes, turns white, and is utterly useless. Great concept, terrible execution.
