### 3/5 — Good, but requires pics

*2025-06-16, version 1.10.8*

The app seems good, but I don’t want to take pics of every meal

### 4/5 — Great app! Only one complaint

*2024-07-15*

I love the concept of the app, it’s exactly everything I wanted. However, I do have one complaint. 

I just downloaded the app today and was going through and logging a bunch of restaurants I’ve been to in the past year and when I go into the map mode and click on a restaurant, even if I’ve been there multiples times and have uploaded multiple posts, the “check out the times you were here before…” all show today’s date (the date that I added the post) not when I was there.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thanks so much for your feedback and enjoyment of the app. To respond to your concern, our app takes the time stamp from the photo and post them accordingly. Hence, it has the ability to backdate posts. However, if your photos were transferred from other devices or tampered impacting the timestamp, they would reflect date as photos. Hope this helps. Hope you have Yummi meals everyday. :)

### 4/5 — Social media app!!!

*2024-06-28*

This app i thought would help me kerp tabs on the places i eat, but its more of a sharing and rate app.  There is no place to put my personal notes on what to try in the future or what i need to watch out for.  Not crazy about everything written is posted online, even the notes i make to myself. Kinda irritating, as im not a social media person.  It had potential.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We are a bit perplexed as all the functions built are primarily focused on helping you log and index your meals. The sharing and rate functions are secondary and optional. Please feel free to email us info@yummi.me if need help on how to use app to journal your meal experiences.

### 3/5 — iPad app

*2024-05-07, version 1.10.8*

iPad app needs a landscape component.

### 4/5 — Great but not perfect

*2024-01-05, version 1.10.6*

I really love this app and compared to other restaurant tracking apps, find it the most easy to use. 

I would love for there to be more feedback mechanisms to continue to improve the app. I wish there were a paid version to remove ads. In addition, I wish there was the ability to see how many times you have visited a restaurant when you click on the restaurant itself.

### 4/5 — I love this app

*2023-11-11, version 1.10.6*

I love This app and everything about it. I really don’t know what to say this app is just amazing.

### 2/5 — Difficult to search

*2023-10-15, version 1.10.6*

Too difficult to find the places.  It searcher world wide.  Make the life difficult.  Please improve it.

### 3/5 — Did not work for me as I hoped

*2023-08-04, version 1.10.6*

Was looking for a restaurant logging app and this app just wasn’t exactly what I wanted.

### 2/5 — Old reviews been deleted?

*2023-07-30, version 1.10.6*

Was enjoying the app and logging food regularly but it seems my older posts have been deleted? Shame

### 4/5 — Great

*2023-07-28*

Love the simplicity of it yet has many features to look back on certain places. Only reason app didn’t get 5 stars is because I wish it had a section to make lists of restaurants I want to visit in the future

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying our app. We’re just getting started. More exciting features are coming. Thank you for your support.

### 5/5 — Perfect food logging app

*2023-06-12*

For the longest time I’ve been looking for an app that allows me to easily log all the restaurants and cafes that I’ve been to. Yummi isn’t the prettiest app UI-wise, but it’s very simple and intuitive to use. I absolutely love it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the all and getting all the benefits from it. We appreciate you!

### 3/5 — Not populated enough. Annoying character limit when adding places

*2023-04-22, version 1.10.4*

I tried searching Steve’s Original Diner. Didn’t come up. Tried adding the name and it had a character limit that stopped me at “Steve’s Original Din”. Other than that It serves the advertised purpose

### 5/5 — The Food App I’ve Always Longed For!

*2023-04-19*

I’ve lived on the road full-time for seven years traveling the US in an RV and it never fails that when I return to an area I don’t remember what I ate and loved the last time I was there. This app solves that problem! It is also well laid out and user-friendly. I’m hooked!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the all and getting all the benefits from it. We appreciate you!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2023-03-19, version 1.10.3*

Nice app but some issues: photo loading g is very slow and there should be more logical feaures, like maintaining a wishlist of restaurants, creating "dining circles" with others and things like that. Hopefully in an update!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2025-08-20, version 1.10.9*

What is the point of this app if you cannot see the restaurant on google maps via the app. 
If you cannot find the restaurants, I would have to upload everything my self, even the name of the restaurant. 
Pointless!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-10-15, version 1.10.8*

App doesn’t work. It searches for restaurants in other states not near me or near my location. I searched 3 popular restaurants in Norfolk VA and they don’t even populate. I wanted to like this app as I’ve been looking for something like it to track my favs. But even the most basic function does not work. Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have my city

*2024-05-12, version 1.10.8*

I’m sure the app is fine if you live in a supported city, but it doesn’t appear that any restaurants appear in St. Louis. They need some way to at least warn users if their location isn’t supported. Severely limits the usefulness of the app. Will be deleting. I’d like to delete my account, but that doesn’t appear to be possible, which violates Apple’s guidelines.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-01-15, version 1.10.6*

I thought this would be a good app to track and rate restaurants we eat at.  It isn’t.

### 1/5 — Zero of my favorite restaurants

*2023-08-04, version 1.10.6*

I typed in 8 of our favorite restaurants to get started and not one was found. This will be more work than I wanted it to be.

Update. Wasn’t trying to use it for discovery. Was just trying to journal where we’ve been.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-08-01, version 1.10.6*

Really wanted to like it, a good idea, but the app lost all my information! It was also bad at adding pictures. Now all the notes and pictures I made about all my eats, both good and bad, are gone. I will not be using this app again.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2022-04-19, version 1.9.11*

Was really looking forward to logging all my previous restaurant visits with this app, but when I search for anything it’s all based in America? Feels like nothing has been added to the UK.

Maybe I’m several years too late to use this app. Why is it so difficult to find a decent restaurant tracker?

### 1/5 — Requires you to make an account or link

*2021-07-04, version 1.9.9.1*

Just wanted an app to write little reviews of restaurants I go to, keep track. 

This app does not allow me to use it without making an account - linking with face book etc. 

Makes it a no go for me. I don’t want to see the word Facebook *ever* with an external app.  Just want it on my phone not some account.

### 1/5 — Spamming

*2018-10-22, version 1.8.8*

This app feels like everything in it is fake it’s hard to get a sense of what supposed to be done here. If you allowed to send you notifications it will send you notifications on random users activity which is really annoying

### 1/5 — Utterly useless and confusing.

*2016-09-24, version 1.0.7*

Crazy amounts of useless notifications. Can't even get into the app without walking through what seems like endless "tutorial" pop ups that don't make any sense. So unbelievably confusing. This is just a Instagram copy that's limited to just food. The extra features are useless. The food tinder feature is more useless than using actual tinder to find myself a real boyfriend. Save yourself the phone memory, this app doesn't add anything to my food exploring arsenal.

*2026-04-27*

I’ve lived on the road full-time for seven years traveling the US in an RV and it never fails that when I return to an area I don’t remember what I ate and loved the last time I was there. This app solves that problem! It is also well laid out and user-friendly. I’m hooked!

### 5/5 — Yummi is fun

*2025-05-24, version 1.10.8*

If you like to review restaurants and fun places this is the app for you.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-01-26, version 1.10.8*

I don’t remember what I have had at a restaurant in the past and this helps me immensely when going back.

### 5/5 — Great Food Journaling App

*2025-01-17*

This app is so easy to use. Love how it keeps track of the number of cities, cuisine, footprints  and fans if you have any. You can keep Your food log private or public, it’s nice to see what others write regarding restaurants. The calendar view is awesome. The map feature is awesome as well. It shows all restaurants visited during that month. I have so many past entries to create and it’s very easy to do. I totally recommend this app if you need an innovative and easy way to log your restaurants along with your experiences. Love the fact that you can upload photos and the app geo tags them so your visits are in order. Highly recommend. I’m not sure why this app doesn’t have thousands and thousands of followers. Its actually better organized then Yelp. This is an awesome app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your support. We love to know that we're making a difference and helping users like yourself to easily keep track of your food adventures. Lots of more features and benefits are in the plan.

Thank you! Great pizza and great delivery!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-28, version 1.10.6*

Love this app, great way to keep track of places I’ve eaten

### 5/5 — Fantastic Food Visual experience

*2023-12-22, version 1.10.6*

Love the yummi app! Great way to tag photos of food that you have eaten, seen , tried or perhaps even want to avoid. I like how it automatically clocks when the dining experience took place and where it took place. It's a pretty great way to keep a journal of your culinary adventure.

### 5/5 — Great App! Exactly what I was looking for

*2023-07-22*

Last night when my husband and I were having dinner, I told him I wish there was an app that would keep up with all the restaurants we visit. I have a terrible memory since having brain surgery last year and rarely leave my house of the doctor visits. We have to travel out of town for my doctor visits so when we go to a restaurant, it’s usually in a different town and I remember the restaurant light but then get in there and can’t remember what I ordered that I loved, and have to scroll through months worth of pictures to find the photo of the meal that I liked. Last night, I googled app to log restaurants and came up with this app. I started locking the meals we had before my and love that it’s able to use the Geo data from my photos to find the restaurant. I was really bad about remembering what sushi items I liked it restaurants as what is a Texas role at one place that I really love may be not the same ingredients of another restaurants Texas roll.. This also gives me the ability to create my notes but most importantly lets my family see what I like and where I’ve been. I saw that I had the opportunity to follow other people and I’ve asked my family members to join as well as we typically share photos of our food on a group chat. This has everything that I need. I did notice some latency in loading. On the app but I wanna head and give it five stars because it’s exactly what I was looking for.

**Developer response:** So happy you’re enjoying our app and are getting the benefits from all the features we build. More exciting functions are coming. Thank you for your support.
