Early bugs squashed - looks great now! I've enjoyed scrolling through the BBQ trails noting many old friends, a number of new faces, and a bunch of places I've been meaning to visit. I foresee this app helping me finally get around to it! Advice for the developers - after clicking on a restaurant to view the details, when I click back out to the list I came from, it would be helpful if the list remembered how far down I was scrolled before I clicked. Minor nitpick.
has great potential. they might want to consider hiring a professional to develop the app though. the amateurish technical glitches are annoying and keep me from using this appvery often. i hope it gets fixed because the information and look are stellar. check in, distance from restaurant, jumping back to beginning of list are ready fixes but probably can't be done by communications staff.
I tried creating an account, but it said I already had one (I don't). Then I tried to "Continue as Guest", and when I denied access to my phone's location it just shut down and went back to Play Store. I immediately uninstalled. Guess the 2.9 ⭐ overall rating was actually a bit too high.
To the devs: I'm going to keep using this, but the location services in the app seem to think I'm in the middle of the Sudan...telling me I'm 6500 miles away from a BBQ restaurant that is 2 miles away. Of course Google maps is working properly. Might want to check into this on your end.
A really cool way to see the BBQ selection in Kansas City that highlights well known and smaller restaurants. I dig the badge system and links to menus and related information.
All restaurants are apparently over 6000 miles from my current location (which is no big deal since I know better) but the big issue in my opinion is that you can't check in to restaurants that you have already been to and many of them I don't wish to revisit.
The fist BBQ location (Q39 South) I tried to check into and the App would not let me. I tried to let them know in the App but it would not let me do that either.
This app has potential. I can't check in to any resturants. It also will not let me look up (search) any restaurants. Disappointing.
Crashes when you click on Find and then try to switch to map view. Look forward to using once fixed.
Not allowing to log in and no content is loading. Just get intro screen and everything else is blank
Wanted to locate new joints but every "trail" is locked. Sad. Guess I'll just keep searching through Google
Closes when you click anything. You should probably test your app before releasing it🤷♂️
Looks nice but wouldn't let me check in at Jack Stack Lee's Summit.
Not able to check off places I have already been to. Uninstalled
Buttons don't work in Google Pixel. Can't sign up with Facebook. If you want more people to use this I recommend focusing on the user and not forcing "trails". some examples are you really need a check-in button on the home page at the top. You might also want add the closetest location on this page. people want share with their friends, this app makes it hard to so.
