Many services no longer work

Arduous on

United States

Sites/services change their APIs, and this app hasn’t been updated since 2016. Therefore, many services no longer work.

Not as useful as it used to be

Umoplpok on

United States

Searches for nearby places most often fail on Google Yelp and others. Used to be quit useful. Now hardly worth bothering with
