User Reviews

Sites/services change their APIs, and this app hasn’t been updated since 2016. Therefore, many services no longer work.

Searches for nearby places most often fail on Google Yelp and others. Used to be quit useful. Now hardly worth bothering with
by Um*****, 2020-12-28

Needs updating. This used to be a great app. It’s time for a new version please!
