## Review summary

Users view Yelp as a go-to tool for discovering new dining options and rely on it for planning experiences and reading reviews. However, multiple reviews highlight serious downsides: apparent removal of valid reviews, ongoing app reliability bugs, and annoying push notifications. Usability issues and a sense of privacy risk from data sharing are also mentioned. Overall, the app is valued for discovery and reviews, but performance, moderation practices, and notification/privacy concerns undermine the experience for several users.

### Pros

- Helps users discover new restaurants and experiences.
- Acts as a cornerstone/planning resource for trying new places.
- Trusted source for recommendations and reviews.
- Encourages users to share reviews after visits.

### Cons

- Perceived censorship/removal of valid reviews and manipulation concerns.
- App reliability and performance issues (crashes, not returning to search, etc.).
- Usability/navigation friction (difficulty moving between screens or needing to go to a primary site).
- Push notifications are persistent and annoying.
- Privacy concerns about data sharing and spam from third-party contacts.
