### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2026-02-22, version 2.6*

This is a perfect app for my wife and I because it’s stops arguing.

### 1/5 — Not random selected

*2025-03-13, version 2.6*

Not a roulette, doesn’t choose for you. My first option wasn’t even a restaurant but a supplement store… FAIL

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2025-01-11, version 2.6*

i would give this 0 stars if I could. I was trying to find a restaurant with my friends, unfortunately, using this so-called restaurant Roulette the only place that showed us was hookah bars, snowcone, places, and places where all they serve with wine. And not to mention the place where there's only pin ball machines. If you want to eat our restaurant, just google the closest McDonald's and eat there, because I just wasted all this time and money on the stupid app. Super frustrated and upset.

### 3/5 — I used to love this app, but it no longer shows restaurants

*2024-08-21, version 2.6*

This app used to work perfectly and was a great way to choose where to eat when my husband and I couldn’t decide. It was also great for discovering new restaurants. 

However, recently the app is listing businesses that aren’t restaurants. I don’t even see dining options anymore. 

I’m hoping this is just a bug that the app developers can fix. I’ll give them a little bit of time to address this. If it doesn’t get fixed, I’m deleting and switching to a new restaurant roulette app.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-08-20, version 2.6*

In a five mile radius of a downtown city area, the app only recommended non-food places like hair salons, florists, and tattoo shops.

### 1/5 — Great if you like eating at mattress stores, vape shops, and gas stations

*2024-08-12, version 2.6*

Not sure why nearly half of the options aren’t actually restaurants. Seems like it would be a simple fix.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-06, version 2.6*

When the app pulls up a list of “restaurants” the list contains every kind of business from salons to dry cleaners to clothing stores. And, yes, I can go through and edit those out before I use the tool, but between that and an ad that you have to deal with every time you want to spin an additional time, you end up wasting more time than you save.

### 1/5 — Potential, but not ready

*2024-07-29, version 2.6*

This app has the potential to be great, but it’s not quite there. When I get the results it gives me jewelers, massage parlors and other things that are not restaurants. 

I really wanted to like it, but it doesn’t perform its basic function appropriately.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend

*2024-07-25, version 2.6*

Tried this out and it brought up office supply stores, florists and salons.

### 1/5 — Didn’t list any restaurants

*2024-07-25, version 2.6*

Put in my location and expanded my radius to 15 miles. Everything listed was anything but a restaurant. And there are plenty of restaurants near us. Wasn’t very helpful.
