Hand-Picked Atlanta Reviews

by Sr01928

Used to be a great app. I bought deals off it and always checked it first for recommendations. Hasn’t worked or loading anything for months. Tried deleting app and reinstalling, now it won’t even let me sign in. Seriously, don’t bother downloading it’s not worth the time and trouble when it won’t work anyway. Let me know when you guys decide to fix it............

I used Scout Mob once several years ago and haven’t used it since, although I’ve kept updating it. I just opened the new app to see what has changed but was not allowed to do so without first providing my email address. That’s a terrible business model! I promptly deleted HandPickedAtlanta . It appears from recent reviews that nothing was lost by that deletion.

I prefer Scoutmob over the others, so when I moved back into Atlanta I downloaded HandPickedAtlanta . HandPickedAtlanta is basically useless because there is no way to access your saved deals. You press the magical save mustache and your deal goes into never never land. I’m not going to risk purchasing a deal because I have no reasonable expectation I’ll be able to use it.

I purchased 3 tickets through HandPickedAtlanta which clearly says they’re $10 each. I was charged $15 & it only purchased 1, when I selected 3. I’m now on my NINTH email with them to get this refunded. I’ve submitted 2 screenshots proving what I’m saying is correct & they are still arguing with me. Do not purchase tickets through HandPickedAtlanta. They are terrible.

If I could give negative stars, I would. Very poor updates recently. You can no longer access your saved deals list....even though you can still save deals. They just go into never land. You also can’t view your account profile from HandPickedAtlanta . There are a lot of idiots at scoutmob (or whatever it’s called now).

This was my favorite app but now there is no way to access saved deals. There is also no search function. So if you see something you like you have to just pray you’ll scroll back to it? What on earth?

At one point you were able to switch cities, unfortunately you are not able to do so any longer. When I go to HandPickedAtlanta it literally says, “Click here to switch cities”. That function DOES NOT WORK.

Have used before but now i can’t purchase any deals. My cc info pulls up but i can’t go past that- no way to move forward. I tried several times. Hope they get it fixed!

HandPickedAtlanta used to let you pick from dozens of cities, which is GREAT for travelling! This new app update reduces it to just Atlanta, which I don't visit very often. Lossvif utility means I need to delete an app I've loved for the past few years.

When I open HandPickedAtlanta it's constantly a blank screen. I remember now why I stopped using this crap

Nothing loads. Just a blank screen.

Unlike other local-deal apps, such as Groupon and LivingSocial, which let you access deals when your device is offline, ScoutMob requires a live Internet connection. It won't show you the coupon unless your device is online and can confirm your location using GPS. So if you have an iPod Touch, and the place you're going doesn't have free wifi, HandPickedAtlanta is useless. Naturally, I discovered this when I was *at* the deal location. Bummer.

I'm guessing this is to keep people from gaming the "return perks" feature? But in that case, why offer HandPickedAtlanta for iPod Touch at all? Just say, "iPhone only" and tell everyone else they have to use the SMS coupons. This caveat appears in the ScoutMob FAQ but not on HandPickedAtlanta 's page in the iTunes store.

Better yet, why not let everyone use the deals while offline, but make it so that "return perks" work only for those with a Internet connection?

HandPickedAtlanta doesn't have the function to view all saved deals, nor can I search by name of establishment. Improvements are needed to be functional.

I don’t have any problem accessing my saved deals. Unless they have just done a fix I don’t know what these other reviewers are talking about. Click the 3 lines on the left and tap saved features. Simple.

HandPickedAtlanta is convenient and easy to use. So far I have done 2 coupons to cafe intermezzo, 1 to park tavern, gotten the free pizza at vinny's, and the half off the Greek place in midtown. It's been great! If I had one qualm with HandPickedAtlanta it would be that the price list on HandPickedAtlanta didnt match mediterranean grill prices so the half off deal was more money than what I expected. However, Scoutmob did hear my email about the prices and gave me a 10% off my next purchase promo so that is something...
