### 3/5 — Nice idea - needs a lot

*2026-01-12*

I love the idea of this app, especially the ability to follow curators. The reason why I think it needs work is there needs to be richer filters, and a way for users and curators to leave some kind of rating or review of step locations. Just because the location was stepped doesn’t mean it’s actually worth checking out.

### 2/5 — Good idea, poor execution

*2025-09-01*

This could be a sort of “Goodreads/Letterboxd for food” where you can follow influential critics etc and see recommendations - what it actually is is just a list of restaurants that the people you follow (some at a cost) have ticked, with no context, rating, ranking or review attached. You also pay a monthly subscription for certain people (eg. Topjaw) only to access substantially less information than in their free video content elsewhere. Their online info about cancelling payments is also still incorrect as per the previous commenter here.

### 1/5 — Can’t unsubscribe

*2025-01-07*

I have emailed six times, looked everywhere I can and they keep debiting me a fee. I’ve had to resort to cancelling my credit card and reporting them to consumer affairs to stop their charges. Do not recommend. Do not subscribe

### 1/5 — Clunky, slow, buggy

*2025-01-05*

Can’t report all the issues through the app because..I don’t know why. One of many things that have drove me to give up on this app. Can’t search for anything, nothing loads, doesn’t show me anything in new locations, and if anything does load, it takes an obscene amount of time.

### 1/5 — Very slow loading time

*2025-01-05*

I like the idea of this app but it always takes so long to load, I updated to the latest version and the problem still persists. Also it’s difficult to find places e.g. show only most popular coffee or brunch places, or specify search e.g. by specialty coffee or only brunch.

### 1/5 — Cool idea poor execution

*2025-01-05*

Cool concept but app doesn’t work well. Incredibly slow. Makes it a pain to use.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-04, version 1.16*

Downloaded this app to follow the recommendations of a YouTuber I love.  I selected sign in using AppleID.  Log in is extremely slow on both iPad and iPhone; when logged in, the content loads slowly or not at all; my Profile won;t load.  Clearly something many others don’t suffer, but not a good experience either.  Unusually at the moment.

### 1/5 — Scam charges

*2024-12-27, version 1.16*

Being charged for this every month. Not on my Apple subscription list and no way to cancel the subscription. I don’t like that app and isn’t easy to use IMHO! The fact they charge you and you can’t cancel seems like a scam.

### 4/5 — Esthétique

*2024-12-22*

Concept intéressant. Est ce qu’il serait possible de changer le tag des endroits sauvés soi même, sans que l’app le définisse automatiquement ?

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-11-20, version 1.15*

The up isn’t working. Take again to download the data the it shows error message

### 1/5 — Great idea, scammy execution

*2024-11-04*

- the subscription charges do not come under Apple subscriptions and the process to unsubscribe is buggy - you press unsubscribe but button remains visible unsubscribed. - I followed TOPJAW but honestly their lists are just crammed with numerous random restaurants, I got it for NY but after reviewing London list I realised it’s not at all a refined list of places, half of them are extremely average at best. You will be better off checking out eg Opinionated About Dining ranking which is free and much better vetted

### 1/5 — Test it before releasing

*2024-10-10*

The number of bugs is disappointing. 4 out of 5 tabs are not loading. Uninstalling

**Developer response:** Hi! So sorry you faced this issue - we had really high traffic at that point so app loading was slower than usual. We have solved for this and you should have this issue moving forward. Appreciate your feedback!

### 1/5 — Subscriptions Can’t cancel from Apple Subscriptions

*2024-08-08*

Just a caution which I didn’t realise when I downloaded this app. Once you start following individuals you might pay subscriptions for the people you follow however you can’t cancel this from your normal place in Apple where you can cancel your other subscriptions. It doesn’t give you a lot of detail about payment in the app basically you need to Unfollow the person or group and then only you can unsubscribe, so just be cautious and how many you subscribe to because you can’t cancel directly from your Apple and I only realised when I got a payment email.

### 1/5 — Won’t add steps

*2024-07-20*

Try to add steps in Asuncion, Paraguay, it just doesn’t do it. 
What’s wrong? Do you need to support the city? 
Please fix. 
Thank you 🙏🏼

**Developer response:** We are adding new cities every week - we have now added this! :) Thanks for your feedback.

### 1/5 — Great concept but missing key feature

*2024-05-20*

I love the concept of this app as I’m very foodie and love to find new places to share. However my city (Plymouth) doesn’t register as a city it just comes up as ‘All the rest’ which is verging on offensive 😂 There’s no way to rename guides to fit what you want, and no way to do e.g. ‘North Devon’. You need to be able to create and name your own guides for this app to make any sense !!!!

### 1/5 — Useless app and it won’t let you unsubscribe

*2024-05-13, version 1.10*

This all doesn’t really give any value (you can just follow the creators on insta or TikTok and then use Google maps and make lists of the recommendations) and then they make it impossible for you to unsubscribe so it keeps charging you until you email them. Very poor.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2024-05-04, version 1.10*

Guides are guidless - just here's a place, no info about why. App frequently doesn't load places when clicking on map.

### 1/5 — Upgrade Banner always visible

*2026-05-12*

Having a popup asking me to upgrade at all times is the worse. Just let me close your ad

### 1/5 — Impossible to unsubscribe

*2026-04-12*

Doesn’t show up on apps to be able to cancel subscription.  No cancel app option in the app. How is this legal?

### 1/5 — Unimpressed

*2026-02-05, version 1.22.1*

Used to be a great app. Introducing a feature that blocks you from seeing all the restaurants, even from the people you pay to subscribe too is awful. Money grabbing & unnecessary change

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-01-25*

I need pay for everything

### 1/5 — Gros bug sur l’app

*2025-11-22*

L’app ne marche plus de mon côté depuis plusieurs semaines. J’ai contacté le service support et aucune réponse à ce jour

### 1/5 — KVR

*2025-10-17, version 1.20.0*

It won’t tell me how to cancel my subscription anywhere!

### 1/5 — Clunky can’t cancel subscription

*2025-10-06*

This app is really hard to navigate, doesn’t feel intuitive and especially difficult to understand how to cancel a subscription. I had an unexpected charge show up for a subscription I didn’t even realise I had. This doesn’t show as part of your account settings and is cancelled by “unfollowing” people with no indication that they are a pay feature. Feels in violation of app payment and transaction process.

### 1/5 — Cancellation

*2025-09-27*

Got charged for service I’m not using and didn’t realize was on my account. Tried cancelling before the subscription date and not a single person will respond to my emails.

### 1/5 — Lifetime access revoked

*2025-04-22, version 1.18*

Paid for lifetime access to a curators pins, however this was revoked in favour of a monthly subscription model. Total rug pull scam.

### 1/5 — Pro Israel app

*2025-01-18, version 1.17*

Had to delete as they have tel aviv on there. Do better

### 5/5 — Je conseille !

*2025-02-23*

Super application!
Cependant à tendance à avoir des long temps de chargement 
Je conseille fortement pour les amateur de cuisine et ceux qui veulent découvrir de nouvel adresses

### 5/5 — Wowwww!!!!!

*2024-12-13, version 1.16*

Got to see all the places Dua Lipa recommends, I love it!

### 5/5 — So helpful!!!

*2024-12-11, version 1.16*

Honestly exactly what’s been missing for me. Great app for saving my fave places in a social way. 10/10 recommend  💯💯

### 5/5 — Can’t cancel subscription !

*2024-04-11*

Beware, once you subscribe you cannot cancel subscription! Even in the website you cannot!

**Developer response:** Sorry you had this issue. Just click unfollow on the profile you are subscribed to on the Step app to cancel your subscription. You will still have access to this profile and content until your subscription period is over.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-03-30*

Super, bon tips

### 5/5 — Best travel companion 🌍

*2024-03-26*

Honestly don’t know where I’d be without Step when it comes to city breaks and more far flung trips- it’s amazing for finding the best local spots for a glass of wine or more off the beaten track art galleries, swimming spots and seafood shacks 🦐

### 5/5 — Amazing updates!!

*2024-03-22*

I’ve been using step religiously for a few years now but their recent explore page product updates have made it so easy to find great curators to follow and places to visit, its a game changer! Ive now got all my friends on the app too and having all their recommendations in one place makes traveling / exploring so easy!! Couldn't recommend more…

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-02-20, version 1.0.2*

Loving this app! Great to have an app to store all my favourite food spots!

### 5/5 — I’m a stepper

*2022-10-10*

Step is my go to when I want to find a hidden gem in my own city or the best place to eat in a place I’ve never been. So handy when your travelling or planning a trip - 100% would recommend

### 5/5 — Brilliant app I recommend to everyone

*2022-09-12*

Step is a game changer.
Whether I’m abroad and need some good recommendations or in my own city and want to check out somewhere new in my own city, this is a wonderful way of sharing your lists of restaurants, shops and hotels with friends. 
Love it and can’t live without it now ✅
