Ratings and reviews

A foodie friend recommended it. I want to love it, but don't see how it differs enough from Google Maps and I don't have enough friends using this to make the switch worth it. hard to convince them too if I'm unconvinced. Setup is a chore. Would be much nicer if I could import existing my Google Maps lists & reviews as "been" vs only importing lists I want to go to. (If there IS a way, I couldn't figure it out.) Also, the app isn't loading on 1/26/25 - hopefully just a temporary server issue.

I like having recommendations, ratings, notes and wishlists all in one app, and being able to mark which dishes you tried and liked. I don't like the mandatory ranking system. It's slow and inconvenient to do multiple pairwise comparisons every time I add a new place, and I don't find the resulting ranking very helpful when all I want to know is whether I would go back or maybe how it compares to other similar places. Please change this somehow!! (Also the leaderboard feels like clutter)

Requires that you invite others or add people from your contacts for access to the app, which immediately raises a flag. I want to see if I even like the app and I don't want to share my contacts with you. That just seems like a bad business practice to me. Also, when you are in the process of creating an account it doesn't even let you go back to your home screen. All phone buttons are unavailable and you cannot get out of it without jumping through hoops or restarting. Do not recommend.
