### 4/5 — Best way to find cool spots faster

*2024-03-27, version 2.9.5*

Looking forward to more software updates to make this app better . Love that there’s no ads

### 5/5 — So funnnn

*2023-04-24, version 2.9.5*

Great app for finding cute spots! Love being aesthetic. Recommend to all of my friends!!

### 5/5 — Great places to hit up

*2022-10-12, version 2.9.4*

So great to have all the best places in the city all in one place!

### 4/5 — More cities needed

*2022-09-28, version 2.9.4*

I really like this idea of having recommendations for restaurants and other eateries exclusively in one place. I like how specific users are encouraged to be and the pictures. I would like to see San Antonio, TX on the app. Small towns like Rockport and Fredericksburg, TX would be great, too! My username is katiemartinez.

### 1/5 — Really poor suggestion almost cost me my life

*2022-07-28, version 2.9.1*

I went to a recommended bar in venice and was approached by an old male who clearly had some development issues, considering that I was aggressively touched very inappropriately. Do not ever consider this apps reccomendations ever. It will get you raped.

### 5/5 — New and cool

*2022-04-04, version 2.8.2*

Really liking this app. Excited to see how much it grows.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2022-03-22, version 2.8.2*

I downloaded this app after hearing it on a podcast and I’m so excited to use it when I go on vacation! I would love to see my city of Charlotte on there as well!!

### 5/5 — Growing “hot scene” app

*2022-03-12, version 2.8.2*

Finally, I don’t have to remember to text people, “where do the locals actually go?” I feel like I’m on the inside circle, and I don’t have to worry about inconsistent Yelp reviews. Travelling a lot, this works great for the major cities, but can’t wait for it to come to Naples, Florida! A small, but highly rated restaurant city, with amazing seafood and cocktails.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

I would love to see northwest Arkansas on Skorch and my username is sjmoore00. I am moving to Nashville soon so I love to see the recommendations for that city. Trendy fun place are easy to find on this app!!

### 5/5 — love it!

*2022-03-11, version 2.8.2*
