Major Highlights of the Week

Limited Coverage
The app's restaurant database is heavily concentrated in major cities, leaving users in smaller or rural areas with few or no options. This limits the app's utility for a significant portion of potential users.
I live in a rural area and the nearest restaurant could be 50 miles away, making the app useless for me.
Subscription Transparency
Users are frustrated by the lack of upfront disclosure about the app's subscription requirement, feeling misled after completing lengthy onboarding processes only to discover a paywall. This creates a negative initial user experience and erodes trust.
I went through all the setup steps only to find out I have to pay to access anything.
Data Collection Concerns
The app requires users to provide extensive personal information during setup, which raises privacy concerns, especially when combined with the subscription model. Users are wary of how their data might be used or sold.
The app asks for a lot of personal information before even letting you see the map, which is concerning.
Technical Issues
Frequent app crashes and bugs, such as the app not loading or freezing, hinder usability and frustrate users who have paid for a subscription. These technical problems diminish the perceived value of the app.
The app doesn't even open most of the time and just sits on the loading screen.
Inaccurate Information
Users report that the app's restaurant information is often outdated or incorrect, with some restaurants marked as seed oil-free when they are not. This undermines the app's reliability and user trust.
Some restaurants say they are seed oil-free, but users post that this is false.
Customer Support Issues
Users experience difficulty in contacting customer support for subscription issues, such as canceling or obtaining refunds, leading to dissatisfaction and a perception of poor service.
I tried to request a refund but couldn't get in touch with anyone for help.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

While it promises to find places that don't use seed oils, it seems to focus on areas in California and other large areas. There were little to none in areas outside of big cities.

Reading information from the community members is very helpful. For example, some people have emailed restaurants and then share the answer with the app even with screenshots. Hopefully the community can grow and keep going.

I had to go through a bunch of questions including providing my age and gender (you can’t skip this question). After jumping through all the hoops I found out that this 'free' app requires payment. So it’s not free. Why can’t you tell me that upfront instead of wasting my time? So mad
