Good, but needs a map

The app worked for me, helping to find good restaurants on my iPad without crashing. On the other hand, the massive missing piece is that you can't browse a map of the area you're interested in visiting to find restaurants. Without that element, the app is hobbled and nearly unusable.

Forgot to make it work.

It's a good idea to develop an app that actually works. This one crashes before any results can be shown. Just to make sure it wasn't my device, I reset the phone before using. The app still crashes. Oh well.

Works fine for me

Find this app to be quite useful in locating good places to eat with reviews that are from a reputable source.

Crashes everytime you search

I've tried to search for restaurants a few different ways but it crashes everytime I hit 'find'. Haven't seen one come up yet. I'll wait to put it back on my phone when this is fixed. Good idea though.
