User reviews

More Confidence in Where We Eat

Sterling has genuinely made us feel more confident about where we choose to eat. I love being able to check a restaurant’s health score and get a better sense of things like food quality, hygiene, and the quality checks they go through before deciding where to dine. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of choosing a restaurant and gives us that extra peace of mind, especially when trying somewhere new. Such a helpful app for making more informed dining choices!

A game changer for eating out

Really easy to navigate and use. Great interface and helpful when dining out. I never realize how much I need to know what goes on behind the kitchen doors until I start using this app. I can check a restaurant's safety record in seconds before booking a table. It is eye-opening, incredibly helpful and has honestly saved my stomach more than once. If you care about what you eat and where it comes from, download this immediately!
