User Reviews

Overall, Falling Fruit is praised for its promising crowdsourced concept and occasional usable functionality, showing local edible locations on a map. However, reliability issues are frequent: login/registration crashes, location/map failures, and outdated data. Payment and subscription confusion add to frustration. Users also want better filtering and safety features. The app’s value depends on maintenance, current listings, and stable maps; without fixes, reviews describe it as unreliable despite strong potential for urban foragers.
Pros
  • Strong, appealing concept for crowdsourcing edible/location data for foragers.
  • When it works, it provides useful local edible locations on a map and allows area-specific searches for edibles.
  • Some reviewers report that the app can work well and be valuable for urban foragers.
  • The concept and potential have lasting value for the foraging community despite maintenance gaps.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and sign-in/registration issues, including crashes before login.
  • Location/Map problems: GPS not working, map often stuck on Boulder CO, location services nonfunctional, data not loading.
  • Outdated data with many listings from 2013–2014, indicating poor maintenance and relevance.
  • Payment/subscription problems: unexpected charges, unclear cancellation, and billing confusion.
  • Lack of useful filtering and safety controls (e.g., filtering out unsafe postings or unwanted plant types) and need for better search filters.

I loved the concept but wasn’t ever able to get the original app to load properly on my phone. If you’ve tried falling fruit before and given up or if you’re scared by the bad reviews, give it another shot!

Your app was so useful and easy to navigate. Today, I opened it and it’s completely different than before. Now it’s a nightmare to navigate! What on earth were you thinking? Please change it back!
