Blapp - Black-owned businesses Reviews

by Bennynielsen

It took less than 1 minute to find out that it is not showing businesses that are actually black owned. One of the first ones I looked up that is near me, is definitely owned by a white guy. Blapp needs to focus on actually verifying what is listed.

I was so excited to see Blapp and still am. I wish there was a way to report inadequacies and a way to
collaborate. In our area, we have an app being developed. Would be cool if these could go/from it link. When I opened Blapp and searched near me many non BOBs populated. There is no way to report it and they should be removed.

I can’t trust Blapp as I see far too many businesses listed that are not black owned. I suggest researching these businesses before you allow them to join the BLAAP Directory. Perhaps a BLAAP data manger for each region of the country. I understand that requires a budget. A free route would be a google form link so app users can report on BOB they would like researched and removed. ONCE THIS IS UP AND RUNNIG, we can do GREAT things and shift our dollars. Don’t give up.

I LOVE the concept for Blapp and am hopeful that once they work out the kinks it will be great. I’m concerned about using Blapp in its current state because some businesses I’ve seen on there are NOT black-owned. For example, Rolling Greens, a florist spot in LA. It is co-owned by Laurie Resnick and Greg Salmeri. Major work is needed for their QC process for businesses that make it in Blapp .

and these businesses need to be vetted.

Love the concept and I can’t wait to update my rating, but right now, there are FAR TOO MANY non-Black-owned businesses in my area that are showing up.

Love the idea, but cannot navigate Blapp . I use large type font for accessibility. App will not scale so I cannot see any of the options or navigate. Hope there will be a patch release soon as I really like this idea.

This really helps me (and apparently many others) ID black businesses to avoid. The concept of Blapp is really racist. I’m not sure it helps as intended.

The only reason that I didn’t give four stars is that one of my favorites didn’t come up when I looked for restaurants in my area unless I specifically looked for it by name.

P.S. thanks #birbigs for making me aware of Blapp

by Jonesrooy

So grateful for this app! It’s a great way to help support Black-owned businesses, and also got me out of my rut of going to the same five places over and over again! Love this app! Download now!

I love the layout and the creator of Blapp is a great person as well! Once you go this app there’s no better APP

This is phenomenal and will only get better as it expands into more markets. Please spread the word.

I love the interface; it’s user-friendly and nicely designed. It helped me realize there are many Black-owned businesses near me that I wasn’t aware of, and that I will make an effort to buy from more often! Great app that fills an important gap.

I travel a lot for work. It’s hard to choose restaurants and bars that share my values while on the road. Blapp is a great way to help make decisions about where to eat and drink. Learned about it on the Working It Out podcast.

Not only is the design sleek and easy to use. It shows me businesses that I didn’t even know are black owned. Absolutely love it!

A superb solution for the need of the hour! Can’t recommend Blapp highly enough.

by Seblin1

Blapp is both beautifully designed and functions great! It can be used all over the US - I love it!! Just what the world needs. Thanks!

by Erikabooyah

I was scrolling through my area and found a ton of business that do not have black owners. Blapp works great but it defeats the purpose. I want to go to a black owned garden store. Not a garden store owned by lame old white people.
