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 — Shows non-food stuff *2020-11-06, version 2.0* I can’t eat cigars and vape. Won’t let me filter them out. ### 3/5 — Not enough restaurants *2020-08-20, version 1.8.2* App worked like it said but it doesn’t put most chain restaurants like McDonald’s or Taco Bell. Was going to use this when my wife won’t make up her mind on where to eat but without the main fast food chains I don’t really see a point to this. ### 2/5 — Honest opinion *2020-08-11* I am sad to leave this review... but this application provided me with no help what so ever in choosing a restaurant which appealed to my certain needs. The idea which brought to light this revolutionary app sadly failed. I have high hopes that my review will change the future of this app. Ps it would help if it actually showed restaurants in my area... or at all. ### 4/5 — Does not show all the restaurants *2020-08-09, version 1.8.2* Confused why many restaurants don’t show up. ### 1/5 — Worthless. *2020-02-16, version 1.8.1* I wanted to try and discover one new place to eat, and somehow in a 20 mile radius where there’s at least 200 restaurants it gives me 22 results. None of which are a single place I’ve heard of. Why are the normal chains not popping up in this too? Out of the normal 15-20 places we frequent (Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, tucanos, Denny’s, ihop, Buffalo Wild Wings, red Robin) none of them appeared in the search even though they should. I expected to see all of those normal results PLUS new discoveries. Instead you suggested coffee shacks and hole in the walls, with nothing else included. If I wanted to make a list of all the restaurants in the area myself I could do that without this app. I don’t usually leave reviews but just to save you the download, this app is weak af. ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-02-02, version 1.7.1* Works but is really ugly to look at :/ ### 1/5 — Just for the ads *2019-12-21, version 1.6* This app not only allows you the maximum number of restaurants around you to only 50. The “roulette” simulation doesn’t work because I got the same restaurant back to back to back. Probably just some people who made this app to be bought by yelp and then to live on their lives as partial millionaires in a condo in La. sad. App could be so much better ### 4/5 — Better than flipping a coin *2019-11-15, version 1.5.9* Awesome app! I LOVE the “Add My Own Restaurant” feature. It would be ideal if that list can be saved though, so I don’t have to re-enter them each time. The reality is that the family has their favorites and those are the places we want to in the roulette pool. ### 4/5 — Save Option *2019-06-21, version 1.3.2* Would be nice to save a built list of places to eat. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t understand location *2019-05-02, version 1.3.2* I added 3 mile location search and it’s pulling back places 25 miles away. Fail. Defeats the purpose. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2019-03-16, version 1.3.2* You should consider times of operation before using it as part of the picks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Kept asking to give review *2022-08-05, version 2.5* Haven’t the app long enough to formulate an opinion but it spams me every time I use it to review it ### 1/5 — was cool for literally one second *2020-12-12, version 2.4* I used it once and ever since then it will not load restaurants or work period. Very disappointed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Scammed! *2024-07-02, version 2.6* No longer works! Scammed $1 for nothing! ### 5/5 — Love app, wish it could include food trucks *2022-08-14, version 2.5* Food trucks are huge up here in Antelope Valley, I’d love to have them be included in the roulette! ### 5/5 — This App Saved My Marriage *2020-02-17, version 1.8.1* The app design is incredible. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Saving *2019-07-22, version 1.5.2* Still can’t save restaurants. ### 5/5 — Finding restraints *2018-09-06, version 1.1* I can finally decide where to eat ### 5/5 — Hungry no more! *2018-08-28, version 1.0* I’m hungry for a less amount of time now! Why let your spouse’s or group of friends’ indecision make you wait?! Plus, now I’ll try restaurants I’ve never thought of visiting before 😋 ### 4/5 — Missing some options *2023-03-21, version 2.5* I found that it would be useful if their was an option for delivery. Additionally your random number generator needs to be fixed. When re-spinning from the beginning I get the same restaurants in order as before. What this tells me about the random number generator is that it is using the same seed over and over. The seed should be randomized so that the spins are different every time the spinner is reset from the start. ### 4/5 — Mostly great! *2022-04-06, version 2.5* I like this app, and find it helpful when we can’t decide where to go to eat. I have a “Master List” which has everything from high end to burgers. Another called “The 10 places we always go“ because we already know the price point and favorite menu item, but can’t decide what we are hungry for. I didn’t give the app 5 stars because as others have said, it doesn’t find chain restaurants. It also seems to find surprising number of gelato and cookie places. Recently, I have been putting together a list of trendy bars that I have read about and want to remember to check out. They are listed on Yelp, but I guess they don’t fit the criteria for the app. My list building workaround has been to add the name, or cut and paste the bar’s URL into the app. ### 4/5 — Many things to love *2021-04-29, version 2.4* I was searching for something like this and was happy to find such a great app. I use it for meal planning for the week. To remove ads is $0.99 which I thought was a great price. Happy to pay. I have a couple of feature requests: can you add more filters for things like delivery, outdoor seating, groups, and food for kids? These usually available in Yelp. Also - major bonus points if the saved list can be tied to my collections lists in Yelp. I build out a lot of lists in there like “Places to try” or “Favorites” or “with guests” and being able to roulette those lists is my big hope. Perhaps we can just enter URL to a list? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
