But I don’t have more than 5 people I know. So this app isn’t usable for me. I had to delete it. Because you guys insisted on 5 friends. Not everyone has a big friend group or a huge family. ### 2/5 — Sorry but this rlly frustrated me *2026-06-03, version 1.322* It won’t let me actually see the places or access the app unless I invite 5 friends?? ### 5/5 — YUM *2026-04-25* This apps been showing me some new spots and giving me a reason to big back over some food. Basically an IG for food spots ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-05, version 1.312* What's not to love about free stuff and rewards!!!! ### 5/5 — Taste :) *2026-04-05, version 1.312* Great reliable and easy to use app ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-04-04, version 1.311* great app to find new food places ### 5/5 — cute little shop *2026-03-29, version 1.310* super cute and tasty fruit tea!! ### 5/5 — good service *2026-03-29, version 1.310* easy fast good tea service and delicious drinks ### 5/5 — Drink review *2026-03-29, version 1.310* Very tasty drink ### 5/5 — Free drink *2026-03-29, version 1.310* The drink is so good!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-15, version 1.306* Love it! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-15, version 1.306* Love it ### 5/5 — Froyo *2026-03-15, version 1.306* Love the froyo- well priced ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t use without invites *2026-06-07, version 1.322* It’s really obnoxious how you HAVE to invite 5 people in order to use the app. I instantly deleted it when I couldn’t bypass this stage. I don’t want to have to spam my friends just to use an app that I was going to use for MYSELF ### 1/5 — Requires you to invite ppl *2026-06-05, version 1.322* Requiring you to invite 5 people to actually use the app is very very very dumb. You are losing more users, like me, than you’re gaining. ### 1/5 — what’s the point? *2026-05-21* the app is practically unusable if you aren’t in a MAJOR city like NYC or LA. the map feature doesn’t work or show nearby places, you can’t search for nearby places, and you can’t create a list unless you’re adding places from large cities. if you try to add a place from your own town, it’ll say “failure, try again.” not to mention, you have to invite 5 people to the app just to be able to use it. good idea, but just awful execution. ### 1/5 — 5 Invites are mandatory *2026-05-19, version 1.319* I wanted to see what this app is like to look at food places around my area. But I can’t bypass inviting 5 friends on the app. Wish there was a skip button for now just to see the full potential of the app. ### 1/5 — Not good at all! *2026-04-27, version 1.315* It constantly claims to give away free things, but when I went to try it out for the first time—unfortunately—at the place called Nuar, they told me that the items they had advertised as free had run out. It was a total disappointment; unfortunately, this app is completely pointless! ### 1/5 — … *2026-04-26, version 1.315* it’s literally just a copy of beli… ### 1/5 — confusing to use *2026-04-01, version 1.310* don’t know wth this is but it’s a weird app ### 1/5 — Can’t open without invites *2026-02-26, version 1.301* Couldn’t even open the app before inviting 5 friends, no way around it. I don’t have friends in the area I just want coffee. ### 1/5 — don’t waste your time *2026-02-06, version 1.926* requires you to invite 5 people to the app before you can do anything. absolute worst dark design pattern the product managers should be so so so ashamed for creating something so enraging and putrid. don’t worry you’re not missing out on anything. if they don’t believe in their own product enough to let you use it without inviting friends, it’s not worth downloading. ### 1/5 — app gatekeeps functionality until you invite *2026-01-28, version 1.293* can’t use app without inviting 5 people.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No more “what should we eat?” *2026-08-24* Me and my friends go-to app when we are looking for good food to eat. Super fun way to keep track of where my friends have been!!!! ### 5/5 — Fire app *2026-07-11, version 1.328* Great stuff ### 5/5 — Run club *2026-07-11, version 1.327* So funnnn ### 5/5 — banger app *2026-07-11, version 1.328* lick me! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-11, version 1.328* This app helped me explore so many restaurants I never even knew existed and I met new people too! ### 5/5 — Fun app and fun people! *2026-07-07* Loved doing the taste run club and using the app to find places to go with my friends! I’ve also really liked the shared lists + events recently!!! Oh and I love the calendar!!! And the shirts are so cute! ### 5/5 — MY FAVORITE APP *2026-06-05* i love this app, i use it everyday!!! honestly i like how the features are all available and i don’t have to unlock any of them. i think the friend group feature is cool and love using it with my friends🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Woah *2026-05-08* The app is pretty cool, but I couldn’t even use it it forces You to add five people from your contacts if you add your contacts to the app. Definitely only a 1/5 ### 5/5 — Heck ya! *2026-04-26, version 1.315* Such a cool app with great benefits ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2026-04-25, version 1.315* Amazing and cute !!!😍😍love the flavors!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
