Australian Good Food Guide 4+

Avoid.

This app is not only clunky but it’s obvious after a minute or two of use that it’s not updated regularly. Places are either closed or incorrectly located when you go by the app listing location or have been closed permanently for years. Relying on users to then call in these errors is just lazy. It’s a shame that map apps have better, more up to date listings than what should be a go-to guide and food guides in general. This Clayton’s food guide shows how far the Australian Good Food Guide has fallen from grace and no longer has the reputation it once did. Otherwise it would invest money and time in an app that is current and correct. A shame it couldn’t care less.

Pretty useless

Sorry, but your app is pretty useless. I downloaded after I found that your website was pretty useless. My use case is "show me Japanese restaurants in Sydney". Nope. "Accommodation" and "Bars" are not types of cuisine. and when I say Sydney, I mean all Sydney suburbs. not just Sydney CBD. Even just being to select my state would have been nice. Ok so I thought I would try and use the map. nope. The only pins dropped are in the centre of my screen. that's probably less than 10% of the map screen real estate. Maybe before you release the next version, you should actually try and use the app and pretend you're a user or something. good luck!

Developer Response ,

Hi vli23, Thank you for your comments. I thought I'd let you know we took your remarks on board and have just released our new app and would love to know if we have addressed your concerns. We worked on new search logic and added filter options to deliver better results. This is the first of several updates that we have planned! I'd love to hear your thoughts. Cheers J. (Director)

Information is out of date ... By YEARS!

The first thing I did when I downloaded this app was to have a look at what it showed for local restaurants in my regional town. It showed two only ... One of which closed down about 5 years ago, the other is only a cafe (not a restaurant) and it closes by 5pm. There are many local eateries missing (and by many I mean at least a dozen in our community of 8000). "Function venues" and "wineries" were also incomplete and out of date. What a waste of bandwidth. Don't bother with this app, you will miss out on the best places to eat and be directed to a vacant building!
