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. ### 5/5 — Personal concierge service *2017-06-19* 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!! ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2017-06-19, version 1.37* I use the app to look at pictures of the spots around the areas I frequent. The app is gorgeous to look at! ### 5/5 — Reviews with stories & emotions, no stars *2017-06-17, version 1.37* 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" ### 5/5 — Great app for frequent travelers *2017-06-17* 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. ### 5/5 — Love the direction Spot is going *2017-06-17, version 1.37* 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. ### 5/5 — well designed location discovery app *2017-06-16, version 1.36* i love the utility of spot to discover new spots and add my own faves, and also see recommendations from my friends and experts. good stuff. ### 5/5 — Immersive and experiential 🎯 *2017-06-16* Finally you can share city lists. This is the killer feature I've been waiting for -- now every time someone visits SF and asks me what they should do I just share my SF Must Do list. Look forward to using all over the world. ### 5/5 — Super clean design! *2017-06-16, version 1.37* Great utility, and love the images. Really helpful app! ### 5/5 — Love Spot *2017-06-16, version 1.37* I particularly like the list making feature, makes it super easy to plan a trip with your friends. ### 5/5 — Best travel and locally discovery app *2017-04-05, version 1.33* When I travel there is no other app I trust to help me find great new experiences. This app's recommendations are always spot on. ### 5/5 — Newest version is 👌🏻 *2017-01-02, version 1.30* I love how easy Spot makes it to find great restaurants and bars, and see what my friends and experts think. The latest version is the simplest yet — fun and easy to use. ### 5/5 — New version even better *2016-12-24, version 1.30* The new version has better social recommendations and is even easier to use. Awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app keeps crashing *2020-01-15* I wasn’t able to use it and I don’t think it’s still being updated. ### 1/5 — I used to love Spot... *2019-10-24* ... 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. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me do anything *2019-06-30* 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. ### 1/5 — Why do you need my location??? *2019-05-29* 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! ### 1/5 — "Fetching location..." *2017-04-01, version 1.33* Tic-tock... Tic-tock... Tic-tock... My GPS apps ALL NAIL my location! ### 1/5 — Spot off *2016-12-18, version 1.29* This app has a great concept but is the worst. I deleted after 5 minutes. Fix it!!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-12-15, version 1.29* Great concept but app was a fail. Wouldn't stay open when tried to use. Deleted app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-04-02, version 1.4* Heard so many good things about this app but never had the chance to experience it myself cause the app takes forever signing in ### 1/5 — No thanks *2016-03-20, version 1.4* Deleted before my first use. I have no problem setting up an account and signing in for apps I use and like. I will not do so just to see if an app works. ### 1/5 — I would love to give more stars but... *2016-03-20, version 1.4* I try to log in and it just continuously loads. Can't get into the app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful in a new place *2017-06-29* 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! ### 5/5 — Diverse recommendations *2017-06-29, version 1.37* Bite-sized weekly newsletter for discovering new places, really convenient and user friendly ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-06-27, version 1.37* Love that I can discover new places for food and exploration ### 5/5 — Excellent UI and Guides *2017-06-23, version 1.37* 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. ### 5/5 — Great for making plans with friends *2017-06-23* 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. ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2017-06-23, version 1.37* Great to have an app like this. I like the social layer. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and always improving *2017-06-19* 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! ### 5/5 — Hello trip planner 😎 *2017-06-19* 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! ### 5/5 — Great way to share recommendations with friends! *2017-06-19, version 1.37* Just did a trip to Europe and this was awesome ### 5/5 — Essential for travel *2017-06-19, version 1.37* Fun way to discover new cool spots and also to capture and share where you've been. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
