Ratings and reviews

This app is the epitome of the little app which couldn't. I've been waiting for a decade to see if they can make this app user friendly but am disappointed every year. Sure, it helps but it's severely limited. The search is inconsistent. Some foods come up and others don't. So they are clearly not indexing all the menus. If you search for a specific place you'll get several results, some of the results give you an option to save to favorites, others do not. why do I need 2-3 results?

There's not a lot to interact with on the App. Not able to star locations on the map to remember the places you wanted to stop. When reviewing New Foods, it doesn't even give you the Vendor name, let alone the location, without opening the website link. No way to open those in the map within the app. It doesn't help you with a quick glance at your map location when you're there and want to quickly see what is nearby that you wanted to try!

Unfortunately this app has less functionality than the older version. There's no way to view your favorites on the map which leaves me thinking a paper version might just be easier this year. The new food listings don't show any information about vendor location. And for some reason if I add the app to my home screen the icon disappears and I'm left with just a gray circle.
