### 3/5 — Needs work.

*2021-03-26*

This is a great idea. However you will need to offer a cheaper price for advertising to get businesses involved in this and to get the word out there that the app exists. Advertising through it at the moment with limited usage from the public is way too expensive. 

It was only by chance that I came across the app and I find it not very useful as there isn’t much on the app but believe with getting more businesses involved and getting the word out there it will be very successful in the future.

### 4/5 — Great for locals

*2020-12-11*

Whilst the app is a great idea, it is still quite new so it will take a while for business to embrace it but so far I love it.
The app caters for a wide range of services and information which will only improve with time and more people using it.

### 1/5 — Zero content

*2020-12-08*

No information in the app

### 1/5 — Lack of store information

*2020-10-21*

I looked up where I could buy a computer and there was only one store option ... where are the other major computer retailers in port Macquarie. If your theme is to support local then you need to have all the local businesses. I also find the app to be quite slow.
