User reviews

Love the vibes

I love the recommendations and what not but I wish that the app would let you set a location as the feed you want rather than just…all the feeds. Like I love Chicago, but I live in New York and I don’t want to see fun things in Chicago I can’t do.

A gem for finding local gems

Great, scrappy app for finding local gems. I know it’s a bunch of students with no money building this, and I don’t expect a Google experience, but y’all are really onto something. This community is a real gem.

Could be way more helpful

I love the concept of this app- I love finding unique places, but it's so hard to filter locations in this app. I'll search for something in Boston but it'll show me a place in NYC which isn't helpful whatsoever. This app could be so much better with some work.

Missing filtering options

The idea is great, and I was excited to download the app, but it’s essentially unusable? I put in my town, Austin, and then it auto fills in the search bar with “Austin, Chicago, Illinois, United States”??? And then when it finally does just stay on “austin” it shows me stuff for places hundreds of miles away. There needs to be a filter for distance.

Response from developer

Hi Fel - thanks for expressing your concern. We are working to make the search more clear and to restrict the filtering to a certain radius. Currently, it shows the closest places to the location you search for. If no posts have been made in that area yet, it will show you posts closest to it. Sometimes these can be miles away and not necessarily helpful. We're working to change that and will have an update soon. Please be patient as Unfound is a student run app with $0 in funding. Regardless, we're working hard to push changes quickly!

Ok

Okay so the idea is pretty cool. I scrolled through and found some cool spots already but I forgot that this app isn’t that big so there’s not a lot on it for my city (I live in a big city)… seem to run out of results pretty fast if it’s not food. Some people post shops as a google review?? Like idk what shop they’re even talking about until I google what it is

Response from developer

Yes we only launched in March 2021. We're also a student run startup. This means we don't have the millions in funding that our competitors have to market the app or to pay people to populate it. Everything you see is organic growth from users around the world. We plan to include more info about places in the future so you won't need to look them up in Google! Thanks for your review. Means a lot to get feedback :)
