## Review summary

Users are drawn to the app’s mission to elevate Black-owned businesses and praise its clean UI, but consistent technical instability and questionable listings undermine the experience. Repeated reports of crashes, white/black screens, and other bugs disrupt browsing. Many reviews point to inaccurate or non-Black-owned businesses appearing in results, with calls for better verification. Features like search and easy nomination/editing of listings are missing or underdeveloped, and signup verification can be slow or fail. Overall, strong concept with high potential, but data quality and reliability need improvement.

- Appealing, intuitive UI.
- Positive initial enthusiasm from new users.
- Clear mission with potential to make a real impact.

### Cons

- Frequent bugs and crashes; blank or black screens.
- Listings often include non-Black-owned businesses; accuracy and verification are a concern.
- Missing essential features like search and a simple way to nominate or correct listings.
- Signup/phone verification issues and delays.
