### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-28*

This is a really good app, yes you pay a subscription but it’s not expensive. It means I can keep a record of all the restaurants I visit which is my hobby

I spend way more on a night out than the subscription 

Great app so impressed thank you

### 1/5 — Not free at all

*2026-01-23, version 12.0*

Requires a subscription. Cant believe I gave them my phone number.

### 1/5 — Cannot sign up

*2026-01-05, version 12.0*

I put in my cell (some thing I use for everything else) and I never receive a text notification with the code. So I can’t even sign up for an account.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-11-10, version 11.8*

Indispensable app for NYC foodies

### 1/5 — Paywall? No thanks!

*2025-10-22, version 11.8*

Why did I go through the process of adding all of the restaurants I've visited only to hit a paywall on the next page? Why not get popular first and THEN offer premium features behind a paywall? This model is garbage and doesn't work.

### 1/5 — App takes you through 90% of setup before paywall

*2025-09-14*

Had I known the app wasn’t free I wouldn’t have confirmed my phone number, integrated apple pay, and all that other information

### 1/5 — Code not being sent

*2025-09-13, version 11.7*

There is no way to even look at the app’s features because it requires you to put in your phone number and send you a code to get started. The code never gets sent. 
Looks like others are having same issue and developers are not responding. 😕

### 3/5 — Code not sending

*2025-09-04, version 11.7*

I’m not sure how else to report this issue, but I can’t get the app to send me a verification code.

### 1/5 — Paywalled to use the app

*2025-06-25, version 11.7*

Should have been a freemium model

### 5/5 — Straightforward, clean, and easy to use

*2025-05-18*

I love this! I love that there are no unnecessary things you have to do to “unlock” features. 10/10.
