The link to send me there just sends me to the Niantic website to recruit me to work for them. ### 3/5 — Cool, can’t get it to work *2024-03-29* It’s a cool idea, and i think it could be something cool but all I can find in the app is them wanting me to work for them. Just a word of warning. ### 5/5 — So fun! *2023-05-29* truffle has been so helpful to find new places in my city love it!! ### 5/5 — Makes me love my city *2023-05-16* As a new Austinite, this app is great for helping me make the most of my new home. The city itself is a bit overwhelming but having this app help guide me around to try new things and find my new favorite eats, work spots and entertainment not only helps me but when I have friends and family visit too! ### 5/5 — SUCH a cool app *2023-05-15* Honestly been looking for something like this for a while.

LOVE. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-05-15* As a lifelong Austinite, I love having the ability to share recommendations on the coolest spots to go and learning about new spots from others. Highly recommend downloading and using this one 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great App for Cool Finds *2023-05-15* I was recommended this app by a friend for discovering new restaurants around ATX, and it has been soo helpful.

It shows you all of your friends favorite spots and new restaurants/hikes/shops to check out ### 5/5 — Interesting Concept! *2023-05-15* Love the concept of this app. It’s a great take on typical social media app that helps me to find some of those hidden gems and austin classics ### 5/5 — Great!
