User reviews

Unoriginal and inaccurate

Thinks my local chippy is a pub. The ratings mean nothing and it’s probably all AI generated.

AI Slop.

I didn’t even make it into the app. A full screen card denies access to the app unless location access is granted, while spinning a carousel of poorly generated AI images.

This is a thinly-veiled, half-baked attempt at gathering even more personal data while offering than shiny trinkets in return.

Great concept

I’ve always struggled to review a restaurant due to many factors. The way this app allows me to simply say if one place is better than another makes this really easy. As the user base grows it could become a great way to find hidden gems etc.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! 🙌 Love that the comparison approach clicks for you. You're spot on about hidden gems — that's exactly where we're headed! Vota Team

You have to share phone location to view anything

Can’t view anything or pick location on map, you have to be in the area, and allow this app to view your location. Sketchy

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. The premise of Vota is about looking at restaurants near you and location is required to do so. That said we hear you, and we're actively working on improving location flexibility in the app. 📍 Your feedback is helping us make Vota better for everyone. Vota Team

Finally an app for restaurant lovers

So tired of BS reviews on other apps. This is the real deal

Response from developer
