User Reviews

User reviews praise Bon App! for helping discover new Shanghai restaurants and its strong map-based browsing, easy-to-use design, and credible real-user reviews. Repeated drawbacks include outdated content, intrusive marketing and sign-in requirements, stability and login issues, and weak discovery/search capabilities.

Pros

Excellent for discovering new and authentic restaurants in Shanghai and staying updated on the evolving dining scene.
Very strong map/near-me feature; for many users, map view is the best part and helps locate places easily.
Easy-to-use, sleek design with helpful recommendation lists; intuitive navigation.
Trusted reviews from real people; many users consider Bon App among the better dining apps in China.
Broad coverage of dining options, including hidden gems and popular spots; useful for planning.

Cons

Content is frequently outdated; many restaurants show no new reviews for years and hours can be wrong.
Intrusive marketing and social features: forced sign-in for Connect, push notifications, and location sharing prompts.
Stability issues: frequent crashes and freezes, especially after updates.
Login/account access problems: trouble signing in via WeChat/Facebook or creating accounts.
Weak search and discovery: hard to find restaurants unless you type exact names, with limited recommendations.

Recent reviews

While there are lots of current restaurants found here, the culinary landscape in Shanghai changes quickly and has changed even more drastically since 2019. About half of the restaurants I looked at in my neighborhood (Xujiahui) have no new reviews since 2018 or 2019 and I’m 99% sure they aren’t there anymore, which makes it a waste of time to read about them. Perhaps app managers should do some research to clean up outdated content.

I have a subscription to the magazine I am on Facebook and I can’t make an account on this app. What the heck is wrong with it what a crappy app. I was looking forward to this I used to get bon appétit magazine before. I guess this will be the last subscription I will ever have if this can’t be fixed. Do you have a nice day and heads up everybody this app is crabby
