After leaving the original review I submitted a request for my account to be deleted because the app was not working for me. It wasn’t pulling up my destination location on the map. I immediately received a developer response via email with instructions on using the app off WiFi and everything worked great for me. I’m excited to see the benefits of using the app moving forward and hopefully I will be able to leave reviews on a new location soon

Our sincerest apologies for the issue you’re experiencing. Rest assured, we’ll get to the bottom of it.Upgrading to a Platinum Green Book Holder is completely optional and for those who want to invest in the success of the app. As a standard user, you still have full access to all social features and all reviews for North America (U.S., Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean), which includes thousands of reviews. You also get access to the most recent reviews in other countries. I would love it if you could please email us at admin@greenbookglobal.com with more details related to your issue —we’re happy to help resolve this.It’s also important to note that our destination reviews are 100% user-generated and not pulled from Google another source. If a location isn’t returned, it means we haven’t received a review for it yet from a community member. This sounds like what you may have encountered but would love to chat to be certain. If no review exists for a destination, you’ll see a prompt inviting you to be the first to add a review for that location. Our community plays a key role in building this resource, and we appreciate every contribution. Our community plays a key role in building this resource, and we appreciate every contribution.Lastly, the $30 cost to upgrade to Platinum is actually returned to you as a $30 travel credit, which is automatically added to your account. You also get higher cash back, enhanced access to tools, review bonuses and much more! Again, would love to help you resolve your North America issue. If you are up for it, please email us at admin@greenbookglobal.com.
This app is the TRUTH!!!👏🏾

Green Book Global is THAT app 👏🏽 As a Black traveler, safety is everything, and this app makes planning trips feel so much easier and more secure. I love that I can book hotels, flights, and activities all in one place AND get insights from other Black travelers.Plus earning cashback with brands like Marriott, Priceline, Viator, and Expedia? Say less 😍 It really feels like a travel app made for us.
Maybe a bug (UPDATE)
Meeeeeeeesz
I was finally able to download the app!! I looked around for a bit and it’s quite impressive. I’m excited to use the app for my upcoming trip.After I answer all the questions and get to the last part “what city are you in” it will NOT let me continue. I had high hopes of using this app since I am a black woman who travels very often. I want to ensure that I’m on the safest route possible when traveling with my daughter.

Hi there! We had a bug where our Google API, which identifies your hometown, exceeded its usage limit due to the high volume of downloads. We've since released an update that removes it, so you shouldn't have any issues now.Please try again—I'm confident it will work! 😊 If it does, we would really appreciate it if you could update your review. Thanks!
