This used to work great and I was able to find most restaurants I searched for. But, recently it completely stopped working as if it can't pull data. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail. Unfortunate.

Useless - can't find any of the Contra Costa county restaurants that I searched for by name, and can't find any nearby even when I'm in the parking lot. I'm using a Galaxy S7.
