I could not find that feature anymore! :( ### 2/5 — What happened to the map view *2025-09-30, version 4.2.0* I can no longer see local businesses. Where did the map view go? ### 3/5 — A change? *2025-08-25, version 4.2.0* Where has the map gone? When visiting new areas or traveling, we would use the map to support conservative bushinesses. ### 3/5 — Was better before. Update ruined it. *2025-08-18, version 4.2.0* So far as I can tell they took away the map feature. Probably because it appears by other reviews that the woke mob found them and started making trouble. Honestly that was about all used it for though. I found several local businesses to support here and there. Now can’t find more. Don’t fear the woke mob!! Give us back the map feature! I’m not much of an online shopper, and options are sadly minimal still so never pulled the trigger on the frivolous expense items in my cart because they aren’t yet in our budget. Love the idea though! ### 3/5 — Ok…but *2025-08-16, version 4.2.0* The app does not give me lists of local businesses near me. It’s not even close. I have tried to enter my zip code, but it keeps giving me the names of businesses in Wisconsin!! ### 1/5 — Good to know *2025-07-03, version 4.2.0* It’s great to know where not to shop. Thanks for highlighting them. ### 1/5 — Great for finding businesses to avoid *2025-06-26, version 4.2.0* I highly recommend this app to identify businesses in your area that dehumanize tax-paying Americans and vote against their own people. Do you hate MAGA? Then this is the app for you. Use your cash power to avoid these toxic business owners who only care about themselves and their profits. FDT ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-06-18, version 4.2.0* Not only does customer service take forever to respond but their app is pretty useless. They have removed their best features for whatever reason. What’s the point of this app? ### 1/5 — Great! Helps me avoid maga *2025-06-14, version 4.2.0* This is amazing! Helps me avoid giving maga any of my money. I hate accidentally supporting fascists. This really helps make it easy! ### 2/5 — Disappointed With My First Order *2025-06-12* I placed my very first order through Public Square for Taylor Made Organics foundation and brow pencil. The package arrived and the foundation lid wasn’t on, but no big deal. I used one pump of the foundation to try it. I liked the brow pencil but not the foundation, so I contacted Taylor Made Organic’s to return it. They refused because I had “opened” it. I’m just disappointed. I know public square is just the middle man, but with other platforms I have never had a problem with returns. Guess I’ll stick with the other online shopping platforms that are more accommodating. It makes it hard to try new things when you have no option to return something. They claim they have sample sizes on Public Square but I didn’t see them before I ordered. **Developer response:** Hey there! Thank you so much for providing this feedback, and we are sorry to hear your first order experience was not what you hoped. Please reach out to us at support@publicsq.com and reference this review; we would love to make this right! ### 1/5 — Love this app *2025-06-11, version 4.2.0* Let me know where to not spend my money. Thx!!!! ### 2/5 — no dark mode *2025-06-09, version 4.2.0* still no dark mode ### 1/5 — So glitchy *2025-06-08, version 4.2.0* Please do better. It’s not hard to have a functioning app these days. The “near me” function is so glitchy at best, at worse, it just flat out doesn’t respond or work. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-06-03, version 4.1.0* The app works great for purchasing products; however, it would be wonderful to see the product search abilities improved. For instance, looking up mens’s dress shirts populate women’s dress tops, men’s shoes, insoles, and an assortment of hoodies and t-shirts. Not really anything close to the desired results. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No More Map?! *2025-11-28, version 4.5.0* As much as I love that this app backfired on the bigots, I really wish you would keep the map up so we could continue avoiding the businesses listed! Say it with your chest, guys!! What’s the matter?! ### 1/5 — Great App! *2025-11-01, version 4.5.0* This is such a fantastic app to know what businesses I need to avoid spending any of my money at!

Thanks for making it easy for me to avoid MAGA run businesses. ### 1/5 — no dark mode *2025-11-01, version 4.5.0* those of us with vision problems are once again left out ### 1/5 — Tells me where not to shop *2025-10-11, version 4.2.0* I love this app because it keeps me informed on exactly where not to spend my money and helps me avoid conservative owned businesses 💙 ### 1/5 — Support fascist businesses! *2025-10-07, version 4.2.0* This is a great app to help you find fascist businesses who support destroying the constitution and defeating democracy in America. It’s also a great tool to use if you would like to avoid shopping at these businesses. It helps you locate local fascists so that you can avoid giving them money and you can plan future protests! ### 1/5 — Thank you! *2025-09-21, version 4.2.0* So glad to know where not to shop! Thanks! ### 1/5 — Where’s the map? *2025-09-16, version 4.2.0* It really helped to know what businesses around me are MAGA. Without the map, the app is useless. ### 1/5 — Cain’t find anything *2025-08-25, version 4.2.0* I’ve been searching for local businesses and it just keeps taking me to greeting cards and magnets to buy online. I don’t want to order online - I want to know brick and mortars here at home or what city I’m in at the time ### 1/5 — Where is the map *2025-08-24, version 4.2.0* Where did the math teacher go? It’s now hard for me to businesses in my area ### 1/5 — Great boycott list of businesses *2025-07-11, version 4.2.0* Muchas gracias for compiling a list of pro-fascist/anti-democracy businesses. It’s wonderful standing up for life, liberty, and family by never stepping foot into any of these establishments! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saw on Tucker Carlson *2025-09-15, version 4.2.0* The fact that I see lefties hating on this app, encourages me to spend more money through the app. The hate from the from the hypocrisy in the left backfires again. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-14, version 4.2.0* Wonderful app with so many great services! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-24, version 4.2.0* Great to find local and non local business that support my values.

Now I, as well as my friends and family, can easily find local businesses to NEVER go to or to purchase anything from. I’m 73 and have lots of $$$. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
