It is saying though that there is none in Myrtle beach!no matter what I type in, it is saying none,plzzzz fix this **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. This is a growing directory, so if you have suggestions of locations we should add please make sure to tell us at support@theebba.com ### 3/5 — Great idea *2021-10-04, version 1.0.19* I love the idea but there’s nothing listed in my area. The closest thing is over 50 miles and after that it jumps to 200. Hopefully the app creators will reach out to my area and include the local businesses here because 2021 I’m putting what little pocket change I have back into what this app supports. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2021-05-31, version 1.0.10* I love the premise. Unfortunately I’m unable to leave reviews. It doesn’t move smoothly from one line to another. I’m still going to use the app. But it could be better for me **Developer response:** We'd really like to fix this issue for you. Please contact us at support@theebba.com to resolve this issue. Follow-Up: We have resolved this issue. Please let us know if you're still experiencing difficulty reviewing businesses. ### 5/5 — This app is much needed *2021-06-12, version 1.0.14* I love the concept of this app! It would help if you thought about adding a designation for safe-haven/place for black travelers for businesses or establishments in PWC (predominately white cities) for those that may be harassed or need refuge. An additional category black-owned gunshops. Consult with NAAGA(National African-American Gun Association) to list those businesses and also an endorsement. A forum would be great for those traveling to other cities to educate us on what and where is “black friendly” areas. Policing strategies, so we feel safe when traveling. Those are a few suggestions that I would like to see! The platform has colossal potential to become a staple in the community. Keep coming with the updates, and do not give up. Please update the city photos to match the skyline of that city/region. ### 5/5 — A Must-Have! *2021-05-31, version 1.0.10* I am extremely proud to use Ebba. I recently emailed the tech team to ask them to add businesses in my hometown. All I had to do was send them the business information. Andrew added over 50 businesses today and is continuing to add more. I have never experienced such a prompt fulfillment of a request from a platform! Andrew soared over and beyond. Along with sharing my appreciation for the Ebba team, I need to emphasize how essential this service is. This database of diverse Black-owned businesses supports the thriving of Black businesses today and Black communities in the long-term. If I want a good or service, whether I am at home or traveling, I will check Ebba to see if there are any Black-owned businesses who provide it. If everyone were to check Ebba first, Black businesses everywhere would boom, leading to more capital in our communities, which leads to more businesses, and so on. I encourage everyone to download Ebba today! It is also free to list, so be sure to promote your business on Ebba! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Solid Directory- highly recommend! *2021-05-30, version 1.0.9* Easy to use, and stylish- this app for Black owned business will forever come in handy. There is so much to discover and support. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the love. ### 5/5 — FINALLY!! *2021-05-29, version 1.0.9* It’s nice to have an app dedicated to Black owned businesses instead of searching for the Black owned section on an app. I’ll be checking Ebba before Yelp for my next take out experience! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-05-28, version 1.0.9* Great app, easy to use! Made traveling while black stress-free with its recommendations for safe and welcoming places ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2021-05-28, version 1.0.8* I found this app to be extremely useful **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the love! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The future is bright *2021-05-27, version 1.0.8* This app is definitely a game changer! There are tweaks that do need to be fixed that I have noticed. Please add another catagory for Real Estate Agents and Recreational i.e. Fire Arm Dealers. Offer a fourm, or some sort of chat for us to say what "other" services in that aren't black friendly or aren't safe such as basketball courts, terrible policing, to help with overall preparation if visiting other cities that are listed on the app. Have a designation for certain businesses to be a safe haven if they are located in PDW neighborhoods/cities for tourists. I've had interactions where I wish this was an option for me when I visted PDW cities. Overall I'm excited and have reccomended this app to alot of my friends and family to list their businesses on your platform. Keep up the good work and I will continue to be a supporter as long as you’re giving us 100% and never give up! ### 5/5 — Super Sleek *2021-05-14, version 1.0.1* It’s just super easy to navigate and really sleek. I dig it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
