User Reviews

8it shines for NYC food discovery with strong community vibes and curated picks, plus easy-to-use visuals. However, it relies on a password gated onboarding (via Instagram DM) that many users find confusing or untrustworthy, and its coverage is limited mostly to NYC/LA. Outside those markets, options are sparse and results can be non-local or repetitive. Until expansion and onboarding are streamlined, its value remains strongest for NYC and similar major cities.

Pros

Strong NYC-focused appeal for discovering food and pop-ups in the city
Effective curation of top options and under-the-radar dishes
Community-driven vibe with passionate food lovers and active social presence
Easy-to-use interface with appealing food photos that aid discovery
Useful for finding new and notable dishes and limited-time drops (bangers)

Cons

Requires a password to access the app, often via Instagram DM; onboarding is confusing and sometimes unresponsive
Geographic coverage is limited (primarily NYC and some LA); users outside major cities see few options
Location/search results can be non-local or repetitive (same restaurants across categories) and have small radius limits
Privacy concerns and potential scam vibes due to the password/password-gathering process
Slow or unresponsive customer support regarding onboarding/password issues
