Ratings and reviews

It's great to find restaurants near you. However, you have to get a different app to order from these restaurants. Someone who is American and who wants to get in touch with their roots may have trouble trusting the restaurants provided since you have to go somewhere else to order. For me I'm just staring at these restaurants that I will probably never eat at because it is still not accessible.

Nice concept. App has some tech bugs that need to be fixed. Here are the ones I've encountered so far. When clicking on any restaurant links or more info for events, the app crashes & closes. App does not open the intended links. When creating a Collection list, the drop down for Public versus Private does not let you select Private because the drop down lays on top of the input Collection Name text box, so it only let's you click inside the text box and not select the Private option.

Disappointed with this app. I didn't find it very useful. Seeing food options are great, but not useful without a menu, a hyperlink to the different websites, something more than what it offers. I would have to leave the app to retrieve that information. Not much here but names and reviews. Simply not enough. Good luck with the app. I love what you were trying to do.
