HappyCow - Vegan Food Near You

Look no further. This is the app for you. I’ve used it for over 5 years and will use it for life. I check it to find new spots where I live and I always plan out where I want to eat when I travel. It’s so easy to use and super convenient

First there is the issue of not having a lot of useful information in areas that are not that popular, though I do understand that it’s community driven so I can’t complain too much about it. But this app is really not great to use. I zoom in to an area of interest and hit “search here” and it zooms way out to an area that is 100 times larger. Every time when you tap on a place it centers the map there. That is not great, I am typically interested in a particular area and I only want to explore the places there, with this behavior I have to re-center the map all the time. And browsing through the restaurants by sliding left and right the options at the bottom is just terrible, no idea what order they are in (certainly not distance), swipe right and I am now on the other side of Bangkok. I actually take the time to input a range of these places in Google Maps and then it’s usable. In this era of AI coding it should be trivial to make this a more usable experience.
