This is a thinly-veiled, half-baked attempt at gathering even more personal data while offering than shiny trinkets in return. ### 1/5 — You have to share phone location to view anything *2026-04-23* 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 **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Meldungsflut und kaum Inhalt *2025-06-26, version 1.3.1* Man kann zwar die Karte anzeigen, für die essenziellen Funktionen nervt aber ständig die Meldung, dass man einen Account erstellen soll - da könnte man mehr Funktionen ohne Accountzwang anbieten. Zudem hat die App so gut wie null Restaurant-Bewertungen, was das ganze Konzept etwas nutzlos macht. Ich gebe der App aber nochmal eine Chance und schaue in so einem halben Jahr nochmal rein. Vielleicht gibt es dann mehr Inhalt. ### 1/5 — Nicht nützlich *2025-06-26, version 1.3.1* Diese App bringt einen überhaupt nicht weiter. Spart euch den Download. ### 2/5 — No use *2025-06-11* Some promise. Location access and login are required. It’s really just a personal ranking app, there are no social features and you don’t see anyone else’s rating. Also the location bubble is too small, I live very close to my city center but it just keeps asking me to rank my neighborhood taco trucks, chains, and gas stations. No way to expand my bubble to include the restaurants I visit. It feels like I’m feeding data into a machine rather than getting any discovery benefits or recommendations. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback! 🙏 We hear you on the location bubble and discovery features. Your input has been noted and we're actively working to improve the experience. Vota Team ### 3/5 — Good idea but implementation needs refining *2025-09-10* As other reviews stated, it is an interesting idea but registration is needed unlike what the dev says, and there is still some work to be done regarding the interface and how it works. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback! 🙏 Registration concerns and UI improvements have been noted. We're actively working on refining the experience. Vota Team ### 5/5 — Finally an app for restaurant lovers *2026-02-20* So tired of BS reviews on other apps. This is the real deal **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the love! We're thrilled you're finding Vota authentic reviews 🙌 That's exactly what we're going for. Keep rating and helping the community grow! 😊 Vota Team ### 5/5 — Five stars *2025-12-15* But please make a version which doesn't require me to sign-in with my Apple ID. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the love! 🙌 We hear you on the Apple ID requirement. We are looking into adding new ways of signing in 😊 Vota Team ### 5/5 — Super cool :) *2025-12-15* Hot or not for restaurants definitely wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card. I like it! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the love! 😄 We're thrilled the hot or not concept resonates with you. Your feedback makes our day! Keep rating and enjoy discovering your next favorite spot 🍽️✨also check our latest version, major upgrade! Vota Team ### 5/5 — There is great simplicity in simply saying "which restaurant is better ignoring price". *2025-12-12* I will say the voting process with this app is interactive and kind of fun compared to the standard five-star ratings with Yelp and other apps. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! 🙌 We love that you're enjoying the voting concept - it really does make rating restaurants way more fun and engaging. Your feedback means the world to us! 😊 Vota Team ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It relies on people actually voting *2025-12-01* In cities where few users contribute,the list naturally takes a bit longer to mature. But when it works. It just works. And I’m glad it’s independent, and not just another TripAdvisor **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! 🙌 You've nailed it - our community-driven approach is what makes Vota special. We're grateful for users like you who contribute and help build authentic, independent ratings. Keep voting! 🗳️ Vota Team ### 5/5 — It’s actually fun to review *2025-06-13* I love the rating system. It is fun, interesting and brings a new spin to an industry where the current review process is no longer relevant. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! 🙌 So glad you're enjoying the Vota rating experience. That's exactly what we were going for! Vota Team ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App, clean design and intuitive experience *2025-05-31, version 1.1.3* For anyone looking to explore restaurants in their area this is awesome. From someone who‘s only used google maps so far, I love the simplicity. The rating system one of the highlights. Its super quick to rate and for sure way more fun and interactive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
