Features & Capabilities

AroundMe helps you quickly identify your position and locate nearby services across categories like gas stations, banks, bars, hospitals, hotels, theatres, restaurants, supermarkets, and taxis. It lists all businesses in the selected category with distances and offers map view, routing, and options to save locations to your contacts or email information.

The Nearby listing also provides Wikipedia information about places around you. Fast, easy, and a handy day-to-day companion. Note: When the Weather push feature is active the app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which can decrease device battery life.

User Reviews

Users praise the clean design and the concept of AroundMe as a quick, simple reference with a handy compass for nearby attractions. However, the majority report outdated, inaccurate data and closed businesses, poor listing quality, and occasional crashes or unresponsive behavior. Coverage gaps and missing categories further hamper usefulness. Some features like movie listings have disappeared. To regain reliability, the app needs frequent, accurate updates, better data curation, and stable performance, along with an option to integrate with maps for easy routing.
Pros
  • Clear design and listings with an intuitive interface
  • Compass/nearby guidance helps you walk or drive to the nearest attraction
  • Simple, user-friendly app that has been a handy reference for years
  • Useful as a quick reference during emergencies
Cons
  • Data is outdated and not regularly updated; many places have closed or moved
  • Listings are inaccurate or not selective (e.g., wrong types or outdated businesses)
  • App reliability issues such as crashes, freezes, and server errors
  • Incomplete/narrow coverage with missing nearby places and categories
  • Certain features (like movie showtimes) have disappeared or stopped working

Clear design and listings. The compass needle next to each attraction lets me walk or drive to the nearest one. Thank you. It has not been updated since 2021; hope that it can be updated in the future. But I do not want to search for each item separately to find where it is. Please link to Apple Maps or Google Maps to provide a map showing attractions.

This was a go-to app for so many years and just recently it quit working. The categories come up but as soon as I tap on a category, instead of a list of places I see a tiny icon and then it locks up from there. Location services are on when using app. What happened?
