Good suggestions but the map app is awful
The app has lots of good places to go and eat/ do something different but the map mode in the app is terrible and crashes all the time. I like to browse places by area/ location so the maps and neighbourhood guides have lots of potential but really need to be developed to a point where they don’t crash/ get updated regularly.

Like the idea but not very easy to use
Many details about the app just make it so frustrating - eg, no easy way to go back after viewing a long article: no direct link to Google map and cannot copy and paste the name either; some bugs when I do searching; the events recommended were always sold out...
Amazing but please add clubs
Amazing restaurants and bars please add clubs and nightlife
Search
How can you search the Nudge? I want to find the best burger in London! The Nudge has a burger review article but I cannot search for it instead having to trawl through the database. Please make the app searchable And also why do I need a nickname to send a review??
Not what it once was
Many years ago The nudge was a way to genuinely be on the pulse of london from people in the know. It’s now heavily diluted and I’ve lost confidence in the curatorial quality control. So many of the offerings are massively oversold - so much so I thought it was just restaurant PR teams feeding the information (I’ve since been corrected by the Nudge).
The entity is either listed on the platform, or it’s not, with no nuance in the rating. I think this is a mistake - Restaurants/bars etc that launch 5 years ago can lose their sheen - chefs leave, get taken over, franchised, menus get stale etc. and that’s not taken into account - what was listed 8 years ago remains on the list. Also, when searching on a map view you’re inundated with choice making it hard to choose.
And it’s not that it’s fully comprehensive either - many of the best established “institutions” (subjective, but even just for italian spots I’d think Montpeliano, and Cecconi’s in Mayfair ought to make the cut) and new restaurants in london (ie The Fat badger, goldbourne rd) are missing off their list. So they’re stuck between having lots of pins on a map (making it hard to search by area and gauge relative quality on different dimensions) and not being fully comprehensive.
Yes, there are some “50% off” offers for members, but they’re hard to get and mostly soft launches where kinks are still being worked out in service and food. If you’re lucky enough to know the people behind a new restaurant, these soft launches are typically free.
I’ve been using the service for many years but have decided to cancel my membership
