The only way to get out is to close the entire app and start over. ### 5/5 — Favorite Restaurant *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* 5 Stars ### 1/5 — Irritating *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Login process was super annoying. Signup via email in the browser, but I can’t see reviews unless I download this app. Couldn’t log on through the app after two tries so I’m giving up and deleting! Can’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Website sucks and useless ### 5/5 — Great Dinning Experience *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Drew was an amazing server who provided excellent service and great recommendations that were on point… Thanks Drew ### 5/5 — Grateful for Yelp *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Although not always a grand slam with Yelper’s reviews it is a great starting point for trying to find great food locally. I’ve tried many restaurants with a 1,2 or 3 rating to be amazing vs a restaurant ranking 4 or 5 nothing to write home about. I dare not pass judgement cause everyone has different tastes so what’s good for me may not be good for you and vice versa ### 5/5 — Ashes in the ocean *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* The Captain was absolutely amazing. He was exactly I needed to have that closure for my spreading of the ashes. He is very intuitive, very progressional and very patient. I’m so happy that I found someone that treated us very well and the closure. One thing that I have to had, he said, “It will take a millennial for your father now to travel all around the world. Which my dad loved to travel. Thank you Captain!

Really?! And I can go to a real golf course and pay a little more and get real service? I’m like ok? It’s a gimmick. Can’t wait until they get bought out and put under, which is in the making. Managers and the rest are done. ### 1/5 — Horrible pizza *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Ordered garden pizza yesterday and they made very bad cheez pizza. No traces of veggies there. They used to be good don’t know what happened. Ordered regular and got thin crust. Waste of money. May be ordered online thats the reason ### 1/5 — Oh well *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Wanted to try it but I went in at 7:35. When I walked in a woman came out from the back and told me that they were 30 minutes out and they close at 8 o’clock. I was waiting for someone and I said ok. She reiterated that they close at 8 o’clock. Pretty much let me know that it was better that I not wait. I think if you want to be gone by 8 o’clock, you should close by 7:30. ### 1/5 — Minimum 85 characters nonsense. *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* There’s no reason to require 85 characters to any legitimate review! Here’s my review of Keene’s Chophouse in NYC with minimal characters: Delicious! Sit at the bar. Great service! 39 characters ### 1/5 — Terrible for Small Businesses *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* As a small business owner, I’m extremely disappointed with Yelp. Their review system makes no sense. Real customers can leave genuine 5-star reviews and Yelp hides them as “Not Recommended,” while negative reviews can remain visible and affect the business rating. Small businesses work hard to earn their reputation. A platform should reflect genuine customer experiences instead of hiding legitimate reviews behind an algorithm nobody can understand or challenge. Yelp needs to seriously rethink its review policy. Until then, I cannot recommend this platform to other business owners. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Forcing people to install app to continue reading a review rather than staying on the web browser is such a low move by yelp to get fake app install metrics. Earning yourself a bad review. ### 1/5 — ⭐ 1 Star — Very Frustrating for Business Owners *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* As a longtime small business owner, my experience with Yelp has become increasingly frustrating. The frequency of sales calls trying to get me to purchase advertising has been excessive, even after making it clear that I’m not interested. I’ve also watched legitimate positive reviews from real customers get moved into the “not currently recommended” section, where they no longer contribute to the visible rating. At the same time, less flattering customer photos can be given prominent placement, while much better photos that accurately represent the business and its work are pushed further back. More recently, I’ve noticed my business has become extremely difficult to find in searches for services that are directly relevant to what I do. Any one of these things might be understandable on its own. But when you combine aggressive advertising calls, positive reviews being filtered, unfavorable photo placement, and reduced search visibility, it’s difficult not to become frustrated with the platform. Small businesses depend heavily on their online reputations. Yelp needs to provide greater transparency and give business owners a fairer experience without making them feel pressured to purchase advertising. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-08-24, version 26.34.0* I like reviewing ### 5/5 — FIRE *2026-08-24, version 26.34.0* Delicious ### 5/5 — Super Kyuramen Las Vegas *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* With lovely and beautiful wifey (Jen) exploring this newly opened Japanese Resto in LV, Nv. “Super Kyuramen” 🥢🍣😋 Enjoyed our private dining experience with our very accommodating server “Yenny” and OMG!

The lentil soup is amazingly delicious with lots of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff super friendly. I highly recommend. In ### 5/5 — My new favorite place! *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* This is my favorite place to eat in Cape May! Love the noodle bowls, fruit bowl of watermelon cantaloupe & feta! Love the fresh herbs they use. (Cilantro & mint) when you pickle the red onions you know what you’re doing. The service has been 5 stars. Keep up the good work 😎 ### 5/5 — Royal Deli Cross Market *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* I picked up soup, salad and sandwich for lunch. Everything was excellent. Very impressed with the polite quick service. Even though there were several in line, it seemed very quick to get my lunch. Extremely impressed overall! ### 5/5 — One of the best in the business *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* This is a 2nd generation family owned and operated business! They are well versed in suits and the fashion industry as a whole. To the extent that they even came out with their own line of suits! Phenomenal, clean cut, nice fabrics, polished, and different designs for every occasion. I have been doing business with Homan and his family for decades. I definitely recommend Giorgio Rossi Italian Men’s Clothing! Not just for their suit selection but for their family experience as well. The suits are a secondary bonus next to their customer service and experience. This keeps me coming back from halfway across the country! Thank you Rossi family for always taking care of me. With love from Colorado! ### 5/5 — Great crew *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* Great customer service, and the staff are pleasant and professional. ### 5/5 — Who’s Bakery *2026-08-23, version 26.34.0* It’s an authentic Japanese Bakery, all of the items are delicious, right amount of sweetness that’s how I remembered living there for almost 20 years 🥹! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
