Lifesaver!!!

Since becoming vegan a year and a half ago this app has literally been a lifesaver for me. I am literally the only vegan I know so I have had no source of information when it comes to places to eat so in the beginning had to do a lot of googling this app takes away any hassle. Then finding out it works abroad ! Just Amazing ! I’ve been on holiday twice and would have massively struggles if not for this app. And I love how you can add any new finds. So easy to use and love the reviews aspect. I can officially say this is my favourite app of all time - thank you!

Great app … but

So this app is brilliant for finding places to eat when you’re visiting somewhere new. However, in an ideal world I would only eat in fully vegan establishments.. in practice this is not generally possible. Historically the app has listings for vegan and non- vegan places but now you can’t add reviews for new non vegan places. This means that the data isn’t current, you could be visiting a place that has no fully vegan places and you are only given previously listed non vegan places… meaning any new non vegan places that have great options and reviews aren’t located.

I am super fussy about non vegan places I visit so on a recent holiday with limited fully vegan places to visit I ended up using the app and visiting mediocre non vegan places with average vegan offerings. Then when I did find a non vegan place that wasn’t on the app with a great menu I couldn’t write about it in the app…. This could mean that a business who has made the effort to put together an exciting vegan menu could be overlooked by visiting vegans and end up reducing or removing their vegan menu

Hello Kristin, Nothing has changed regarding our submission process, we still list businesses which are not vegan but have vegan options,.... it's only that the queue is HUGE due to Summer traffic and the wait on new listings to be added which aren't vegan will take much longer. Please let us know if you're being told otherwise somewhere. Email: ios@happycow.net

Best Vegan Food Resource!

Like yelp for Vegans! It’s a great resource for wherever my partner and I travel to find plant based food. Happy Cow is monitored by actual people meaning that they verify each listing, unlike Yelp, and Trip Advisor where every listing states ‘vegan options’ when in fact they have zero! The more everyone contributes to the resource the more awesome it becomes.
