Where To Search nearby places Reviews

Old version had more accuracy. Also when you pull up an address link to the directions phone etc is broken and app closes every 10 seconds. Please fix this !!!! I can't believe you charge for this. The free version was better

3D was one of the coolest features about WhereToSearchnearbyplaces. First I have to pay for an update, then the update takes away a key fetaure!! Updates are suppose to add to the betterment of an app, not take away things!! One star until it is fixed.

Super disappointed. Great idea, but no value added if it won’t navigate you to the place you want to go. While it’s not expensive, I can google for free.

Good to see WhereToSearchnearbyplaces brought up to date with new app standards. But pretty pathetic database when it comes to categorized location accuracy. For instance in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area there are over 12 movie theaters and WhereToSearchnearbyplaces locates 2. That should be easy to get right but it's a fail. Randomly searching for location for playing darts pulls up dart playing locations, clubs (fine) but Dodge Dealerships (you know like the Dodge Dart model car). Clearly they are using simple keyword searches and not truly human curated content. You do better with Google. This fact alone negates the value of WhereToSearchnearbyplaces . And the developers are not playing by the new rules for using the while in use location services despite the feedback they are ignoring.

It's not worth downloading and certainly not worth paying for. Use Yelp. It's magnitudes better.

WhereToSearchnearbyplaces is only ok. In my opinion it's missing some basic functionality. The biggest example that comes to mind is that when you leave WhereToSearchnearbyplaces it continues to use location services. It even does so if you force quit WhereToSearchnearbyplaces , so it's a battery killer. You'll have to go into settings every time and disable and then reenable location services whenever you want to use WhereToSearchnearbyplaces again. The other thing thats missing is just the ability to look at the map and see what's around you. You always have to choose a category, it would be nice to be able to customize the map so you could choose what categories were always displayed around you without starting with a category.

Been using WhereToSearchnearbyplaces for a while now and find the upgrade better but not necessarily worth the price. Hope to see 3D back and other improvements in the future.

WhereToSearchnearbyplaces has some issues. For example, I looked up Starbucks, but it does not list the one nearest to me. I verified the location in the Starbucks app. After repeated attempts, I can see the location (sometimes) in the map view, but never in the list view.
Crashes when I try to suggest Edit.
Hooters is not a Chinese Restaurant.

I have been using WhereToSearchnearbyplaces for years. And I’m normally extremely happy with the results. But lately it crashes constantly. Please fix it ASAP it is detrimental to my business.

Okay, I like the update and that it is very efficient. But my problem with it is that the program has lost a lot of its wow factor. I can't imagine that one would add 3-D in the current OS system since everything is going flat, but it needed something to make it exceptionable. For instance the maps could have a lot more color and could be a little bit more 3-D the dial could have a little bit more color and so forth.......something. Now that may be immaterial to most people but when you've bought WhereToSearchnearbyplaces based upon that wow factor then without it, makes it a little less palatable. I used to love opening up WhereToSearchnearbyplaces in it's previous version. It felt as if I was in a very elegant study(and that the bread ground the beautiful black dial etc.). Now it feels like I'm in a board room with a bunch of stodgy professors and no one has any interest in any other color but Tan. No, no ladies in red here.

I love using this to find gas stations when traveling & looking for large gas stations that have fast food & usually cleaner bathrooms. Although when zooming out to try to pick the best locations it will automatically zoom me back in & you have to keep going back & forth, it’s frustrating. Also it does not let you know the exit numbers when your looking at the different options on the map. I look at the options on the map to plan our stops out & then go back to our gps. It’s the exit app but it doesn’t note the exit numbers unless you go opt for directions & then go to the list view of what the turn by turn directions are then it tells you the exit number. These changes would be a great improvement for many users.

I love using WhereToSearchnearbyplaces for finding good eats, places to shop, etc.

However, due to the arrival of Covid-19, it would appear that WhereToSearchnearbyplaces has not been updated with places that have closed permanently due to the economic backlash we have experienced.

Please update!

WhereToSearchnearbyplaces is the best for finding just about anything. I've tried the competitor's apps but this one leaves them in the dust. It finds everything and has the most elegant interface. I travel a lot and this makes finding anything a snap. Even my travel companions rely on it to pick the best dinning locations.

So much more useful to me than Yelp. Better user interface, better detail about a particular location, and I still get reviews, just without the creepy social media feel of Yelp.

"Where To" has been at the very top of my app list for years. I've not found anything else quite like it. Restaurants, shopping, services, you name it, you can find it nearby no matter where you are then get all sorts of great information about the business you're looking for. Phone, website, map, link to menus for restaurants, reviews. and so on. I love the new release with the expanded user reviews and upgraded user interface. I find it more easy to navigate and read. It's like google maps, yelp, chowhound, and TripAdvisor all rolled into one. Indispensable for travelers. Keep up the good work, folks!

I am very pleased with WhereToSearchnearbyplaces. I also use Street. It’s companion app. I never wanted all that Google crap all over my phone. Thanks developer. Minimal and extremely dependable.

I’ve had WhereToSearchnearbyplaces for years and it’s my go to app for when I travel to a new city or even when I’m home in Houston, Texas.

Awesome app. I use it all the time.

Extremely helpful and informative. This has gotten me out of quite a few jams. A really handy little gem

WhereToSearchnearbyplaces actually saved my life when I was in a foreign city and needed a pharmacy badly. I also regularly use it for restaurant recommendations and to send the destination info to my Mercedes navigation system.

Not only great for finding restaurants when traveling or the closest store when you're in a rush but you can make your own categories. I'm traveling all over the state and appreciate being able to locate nearby libraries.

We’ve had WhereToSearchnearbyplaces for years, ever since we got our first iPhones over ten years ago and it has proven its worth time and again. I can honestly say that WhereToSearchnearbyplaces is the one most worth it’s cost. Want to know where to eat? Where can I find a certain type of store? WhereToSearchnearbyplaces can tell you. I can and do tell anyone I know that WhereToSearchnearbyplaces is a must.
