### 5/5 — Just What I Was Looking For

*2025-03-09, version 1.0.1*

This app is just what I was looking for!  I had started to track my oysters in my notes app and thought that there must be an app that does this better, and here it is. My only suggestion is that it would be cool if you could see a map of all of the oysters you’d tracked. Otherwise, this app rules!

### 5/5 — So happy I found TOJ

*2024-08-17, version 1.0.1*

This app has been such an amazing tool. I am expanding my repertoire on all things oysters. It’s helpful to read other entries, learning how users describe their tasting experience. I am working up the nerve to add to the community. Until then I get to follow along and see how many of the same varieties I can try. I want to see if my palette develops a taste similar to my peers. Thanks for welcoming me TOJ family! 🦪🍸

### 5/5 — Oyster count!

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

It feels like a game to see your oyster count rise.  Excited for the app to get more photos of the oysters so I can compare what I’m eating to the photos. Can’t wait to see how the app grows.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-05-16, version 1.0*

Super fun, and informative. Almost like a Pokémon game. Gotta catch ‘em all.

### 5/5 — Love it

As an oyster and shell fish connoisseur this was the exact app that was missing in my life. Easy to navigate, sleek design, and interactive community, what more is there to ask for?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-04-22, version 1.0*

If you’re an oyster lover, this is a great place to take note of your favorite places and learn about new ones from the oyster community

### 5/5 — Finally!!!

*2024-04-22*

I've been waiting on this app for awhile! Started following them about a year ago, so I'm excited it's finally here. i love the that it tracks by variety AND location. You can also submit to oysters which is different from the other apps out there. Can't wait to see my oyster count grow.

**Developer response:** We can't wait to provide more for the community in the future. Thanks for following our journey and taking time to leave a review.   🦪
