Urbanspoon - Restaurant & Food Reviews 4+

I am an original Urban Spoon user and loved that app. Each upgrade of Zomato has been more disappointing than the last. The emphasis seems to have shifted from finding restaurants to creating social media trends. The location feature is a mess; it pulls from neighboring towns but not a place down the street. If you mistype anything in the name you get zero matches, it has no logic to find a close match. I have grumbled every time I’ve visited a new city and ended up using Apple maps to find local places. Today I’m deleting the app. It just doesn’t work well enough to be useful. Please bring back Urban Spoon.

As a frequent traveler I really appreciate a restaurant locator app that is simple & easy to use, accurate & up to date. Zomato WAS the best app ever for finding restaurants but ever since being bought out by Urbanspoon it’s now almost completely worthless, hence the cumulative 1.5 star rating from everyone. Why would you buy a successful company to just destroy it? I would gladly pay for a good app but until it’s proven by a free edition trial I’m not wasting my time or money & you shouldn’t either. Until they realize this & dump Urbanspoon all together & go back to the original Zomato format stay away, far, far away...

The original UrbanSpoon was awesome! The rating system was far better than Yelp. AppleMaps is getting closer to a similar rating system.

And on days like today when you can’t think of what you want to eat, I think of the original UrbanSpoon app and wish there was something out there that could bring up some great suggestions. Go back to the original, and this UrbanSpoon would be doing so much better than it is now
