User reviews

This app keeps crashing

I wasn’t able to use it and I don’t think it’s still being updated.

I used to love Spot...

... it is is next to useless to me. Last year I flagged to support that when one tries to create a new list it is impossible to progress as the keyboard does not dock and the Next button is just a narrow line that cannot be used.
You promised to look into it.

Won’t let me do anything

This app won’t even let me create an account, it keeps giving some stupid error message no matter what I do or how I try to create an account. Only makes me want to throw my dam phone out of frustration. Do not get.

Why do you need my location???

I want an app to search for things to do while traveling without having to allow the app to track my location. This is not that app. I couldn’t do anything without allowing location tracking!

Getting there

There’s a lot to like about the app but there are some important features missing. While the app is a great tool for finding cool bars and restaurants, it would be nice to be able to distinguish between spots you like and spots you’re saving for future visits. Also, a map view when viewing spots by city would be very helpful.
