Sympathetically respond to this message so we can get everything rolling. Kind regard
2023-03-19	Edward Nagurny		Installs without authorization across google accounts. Doesn't uninstall across your chrome platform. Trash app.
2022-08-04	Zundfolge		Several flaws: 1) it works off of your location, so since I use a VPN it thinks I'm half way across the country from where I actually am (should give us the option of manually entering location). 2) Doesn't seem to be a search function, so all I can do is browse. 3) Doesn't allow me to click on a store's name and then have it give me the physical address so I can go there in the physical world and buy the item (or just shop for similar items they might not have listed). So yeah, this is nothing like "Amazon for local businesses".

2021-08-04	Ben B		It's a good concept, but it's pretty difficult to use. The extension window is small and if you open any of the links or click off the extension it closes it completely and you have to start over from the beginning.
2021-08-04	Benjamin Kaupp		This vendor uses duplicitous advertising practices, buying accounts on Reddit to spam their product. You will also notice that most of their 5-star reviews follow the same formula of one sentence about the great product and the next sentence about begging more vendors to sign up.
2021-06-15	Joey Tanny		Great initiative! Way to support local businesses.
2021-05-26	Jim Crutcher		I love the concept, but am not seeing the kind of things I'm looking for. An example would bicycle shops in my area. Gardening is another interest. When I clicked on "Want to see your favorite small business on Sook? Tell us about it HERE", in order to suggest these, it wanted to know how I wanted to open this. I'm hoping this will develop into a more robust platform for buying local.
2021-03-22	mark cohen		Hi! I'm sure you're already aware that we need a way to manually set our location on devices without gps or using a vpn. The IP 'guess' for my desktop is off by ~4.5 miles. My son's vpn is about 70. Like the idea. Hope this works out, and you can expand it to other types of retailers and services. TIL: Apparently, there are people stupid enough to shell out $337 for a plain white tee shirt.
2021-03-18	David Ryan		Great way to shop local! Love this!
