Great app with great potential! ### 5/5 — Legit local curators make Seek valuable *2022-09-21, version 3.7* Seek uses real people who are true SMEs in their respective fields, making the app way more valuable than other apps that only use AI. ### 5/5 — actually places you want to go to :)) *2022-09-20, version 3.7* fan of seek as their recommendations are made by the people, for the people <33 ### 5/5 — Great recs in one app *2022-09-20, version 3.7* Just love the fact that we get the best recommendations using this app, it is not about reviews, it is about curated suggestions on places to check in NYC. ### 5/5 — For all things NYC *2022-09-20, version 3.7* This is a must have app for anyone who wants to go to the hottest places on NYC- these people know what they are talking about! So many reviews on restaurants, and lots of fun places to go. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Very helpful!! *2022-09-20, version 3.7* This is an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand, very intuitive app! Perfect for people who's tired of googling and reading articles and just want to know hidden gems around NYC from the locals of NYC. ### 5/5 — Love RELEVANT recommendations *2022-09-12, version 3.7* Love that they provide relevant recommendations and when looking for a restaurant don’t offer McDonnalds in the same search for restaurants as a steakhouse (unlike Google). You can follow people whose recommendations you like to learn of new places from people with the same taste as you! ### 5/5 — Perfect Way to Explore the City! *2022-09-10, version 3.6* Seek is a must-have if you want to find the best spots around NYC - from restaurants to events! Every recommendation I’ve gotten from Seek is 10/10 ### 5/5 — So helpful!! *2022-09-10, version 3.6* As someone who lives outside of the city, Seek has been a great app to find exactly what I’m looking for (as a nonlocal). I’ve used the app to find great bars, places for dinner, and even activities while visiting friends in the city. Additionally, I love seeing their honest reviews on social media (TikTok & IG)! :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-09-02, version 3.5* This app is wonderful for people who don’t want to be a typical tourist and find the hidden gems of the city. It is a way to find exactly what you want to do and things that even the locals may not even know about! Highly suggest downloading and using it :) ### 5/5 — Love the curators! *2022-09-02, version 3.5* There are lots of food review/general review apps out there for NYC but I find Seek is able to stand out because of their verified curators. They have such unique niches, many interests I’ve never even thought about. But the curators feel personable and relatable unlike the typical critic ### 5/5 — Great recs & so easy to navigate! *2022-09-02, version 3.5* This was so fun and useful during my most recent trip to New York City. I had a whole day to myself before my other pals arrived and SeekRecs provided truly great recommendations for a solo traveler. I was also incredibly impressed with the interface and app layout as a whole. So easy to navigate through/sort/save different recommendations and not overwhelming at all. This is an extremely user centered and friendly app! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2022-09-01, version 3.4* Very impressed with this app. I’ve seen many “recommendation” apps, but this one seems to be making a lot of smart choices. Relying on vetted curators was a great choice. They continue to expand and refine the app and the suggestions. It’s quickly become a go-to whenever I head to a new neighborhood. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App for Date Spots *2022-09-01, version 3.4* Obviously this app is great for many different events, but finding a strong date spot to fit any vibe is so important in NYC. So I think that’s where it really excels! ### 5/5 — Innovative, authentic and fun *2022-09-01, version 3.4* SEEK is an Awesome app that really focuses on specific user interest. What sets it apart from other apps is that it not only recommends places to go but it targets peoples personal taste and personalities. Not only can you get food recs but you can find the coolest pop ups, gamer event, theater events, very specific food interests, music events and so many other fun things to do in the city. You can even look up by price range, type of crowd, family friendly or date spots. It’s User friendly, a great way to connect and support local businesses. I love that you can even recommend by female owned or minority owned & support small businesses as well! ### 5/5 — Positive Vibes Only! *2022-09-01, version 3.4* I love that Seek is from curators who know their area of expertise, so it’s very specialized. Also, the fact that it’s only places that are recommended, so it’s very upbeat and true. No negativity here, and the secret tips are a hidden gem. ### 5/5 — Love getting UNIQUE recs *2022-09-01, version 3.4* Most articles will push for the popular mainstream spots in NYC. What I love about this app is that they are sourcing recommendations from locals who actually know the secret spots around town that don't make these articles. For those who are not familiar with New York, Seek is a great app to find those local dives, hole in the wall restaurants, and places with fun activities to do that are refreshing and aligned with the true New York lifestyle and vibe. You'll never have to cram in line with a bunch of tourists again! ### 5/5 — Fun App *2022-08-22, version 3.3* New app that I came across on Instagram. Love the concept and layout. Definitely looking forward to using it more and seeing how it develops. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-08-21, version 3.3* I love this spot when looking for good food spots and non-touristy things to do in NYC. The app allows curators to provide their genuine opinion on cool spots in the area and is very user friendly. I really hope they expand to other cities soon!! ### 5/5 — amazing app *2022-08-18, version 3.3* Such a great app! So many amazing recommendations curated by local and micro-influencers. It is constantly being updated and the photos are a great preview of the restaurant, rooftop or activity. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great customer support. *2023-02-21, version 11.8* I’ve lived in New Tork most of my life and thought I knew it all but this fun app always has something new. It’s easy to navigate. Customer service is fast and responsive and I have a reservation at one of their recommendations this weekend. I like that it’s not just restaurant but also it if the box adventures! ### 5/5 — So easy to use & helpful! *2023-02-12, version 11.7* So easy to find great recs for eating out and activities! ### 5/5 — Best place to find hidden gems *2022-12-28, version 11.3* Absolutely love this app, you can get amazing recs that are super hard to find elsewhere, and they’re all recommended by tastemakers who have expertise in a certain area.
