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.

Helpful in a new place

As I am an intern living in a city I have never lived in behavior, Spot has been insanely helpful for finding great places in San Francisco. My friends and I all use this app to help plan our weekend activities! Love the UI and over all feel of the app too!

Diverse recommendations

Bite-sized weekly newsletter for discovering new places, really convenient and user friendly

Great app

Love that I can discover new places for food and exploration

Excellent UI and Guides

Spot offers beautiful guides to virtually any type of exploration one wants to pursue in a city. Every location is accompanied by excellent high-quality pictures and the guides really do provide the best experiences for an area.

Great for making plans with friends

My girl friends and I do dinner once a month and always try to go somewhere new. It used to be a mess picking a place. Now we have a list in Spot that we share and add places to. It makes it so easy to pick a place and collaborate together.

Super helpful

Great to have an app like this. I like the social layer.

Easy to use and always improving

Spot is really user-friendly, making it simple to discover new awesome places on vacation or in your home city. Creators are always putting out new versions with fresh updates to make it even better and listen to feedback from users. Highly recommend downloading and using!

Hello trip planner 😎

One of my favorite parts about the app is the awesome UX and easy access search for new places. I use this a lot while booking travel to generate ideas for new restaurants, sights, and cool places. I used to use Instagram for "hip" travel ideas but Spot is quickly replacing that given that I can see photos of each place (a HUGE pro in my book) and see both friends and professional reviews. Love it and can't wait to see what features they launch next!

Great way to share recommendations with friends!

Just did a trip to Europe and this was awesome

Essential for travel

Fun way to discover new cool spots and also to capture and share where you've been.

Personal concierge service

When you land in a new city Spot is your personal guide and concierge you can trust to have your back. Like minded friends and family list and share places that they know and you know will make you feel like a local. The more you use it the more it works for you. Great app!!

Beautiful app

I use the app to look at pictures of the spots around the areas I frequent. The app is gorgeous to look at!

Reviews with stories & emotions, no stars

Love the fact that Spot focuses more on the overall experience of each location, with an emphasis on stories, pictures and emotions rather than "3.8 stars"

Great app for frequent travelers

This is an amazing app for those who those who travel frequently. Avoid the paid search results from a simple google search and find what are the true hot spots and local favorites in any city. The interface is attractive and easy to navigate. I find myself using it for recommendations even in my home city.

Love the direction Spot is going

I love this app. I was getting sick of Yelp's sales-heavy UX and this was a breath of fresh air. I love that Spot gets better every time I use it. I hope they keep up the pace of shipping new features.
