I don’t know if it’s because it’s a new app or if it just really isn’t that great. No matter what category I end up rolling I click on “I’m hangry” and it doesn’t even show food near me. The closest restaurant is usually 100mi away or more. I checked to make sure I’m sharing my location and it knows where I am. Also no matter what food type/category I land on it shows all the exact same restaurants every single time. Will not be using until this is fixed.EDIT: Changed to four stars because it’s still not useful to me but their customer service is really great

Hi Andrew - We’re only a small team of 3 people running the NYC & LA area. It sounds like you're not in those areas, but we’re expanding soon so we can add your city to the list of places we'll expand to next! We are only in BETA. Your 1-star review really hurts our chance at success, and we're just trying our best 🙏 I hope you'll reconsider the 1-star rating and invite you to email me directly if you have any other feedback: steve@8itapp.com
Looks good

The app is very interesting, I’m always looking for new places to enjoy and with this app I’m hoping to find some. My only disappointment is that it’s new and doesn’t cover a lot of New Jersey. I’ve seen some but they mostly are NYC. I’ll give it some time to build up the numbers. The concept is really great for a foodie like me. Good luck in future.
amazing app!

i was in LA for the first time and had no idea where to go. yelp had a thousand reviews and left me confused. every restaurant had good and bad reviews where i didn't know if the restaurant was worth my time. i heard about this app and it totally saved my life! real critics gave me great reviews AND recommendations. didnt have a bad meal the entire trip. so glad i downloaded this and can't wait till it comes to my city!!
MUST HAVE IN NYC 🤤

Let me tell you, if you don’t have the 8it app while embarking on a food tour in NYC you may fall victim to the Hardrock cafes and miss out on the hidden gems. This app single handedly curates the most delectable dishes with food porn photos that are nothing short of drool worthy. They’ll bring the food to you or scoop you up and take you there. I can’t wait until they’re global‼️
