1/5I had to give a star?
Normally I’d not leave any negative reviews, however you can’t contact the developer!!! It appears there is a bug which should be addressed, after several attempts to set, reset, delete and recreate account via their app or site it is to no avail! I can log in to my account, can see the account, can search the site, but DON’T LOG OUT!!! Once you do the app, or the site won’t recognize you, I did this several times. I can’t now contact the developer, but can register to get the newsletter?! I can’t log in or use account unless I continue to recreate a log-in or password every time!! This was a great app/site with support! I hope the developer sees negative reviews and fixes the apparent bug, as currently the app/site is of no use.

5/5This app is amazing!
So nice to be able to find place that I want to visit no matter where i am. I wasn't crazy about v1, but kept it on my phone with hope of improvements. I am SOOO GLAD I did!!! Not only can I find a place to eat that is gay friendly, but I can also see where people have visited most now. The checkins are a really nice addition. and LOVE love love the new look! well done. oh, and people need to stop complaining so quickly.... The app crashed a few times after release, but they FIXED it in like a DAY! Now I haven't had ANY issues at ALL!! I wish more companies had customer service like this. Keep up the good work!! (and to the developers... can you put messaging on your todo list?)

4/5Useful App, content still a work in progress
It's definitely nice to have a listing of gay places handy on the iphone. Obviously the listings are only as complete as their editors put them in, or, probably more importantly, as people fill out their own reviews and recommend new places. I urge everyone to spend some time recommending places on the website (can't do it from the iPhone). That said, there is a lot of content on here. The drawbacks to the app are that (1) you can't fill out reviews, and (2) scrolling through the list of cities can take a while, particularly if you want an international city which is at the bottom of the list. There should be a place to type in the city name, or jump to a letter of the alphabet. But overall, a very handy app.

4/5Nice
Thanks for this. I travel a lot and it always takes a few days to find a place and then more time to find others so now I have a nice long list. To all those who hate and continue to throw the good book at those they hate remember, "judge not less thee be judged". If u think by judging and hating others is going to get u into heaven quicker, well, keep it up and one day u will see. God loves everyone and aren't we supposed to be like Him/Her? God lives within us all and the sooner we stop judging and hating and begin to love one another like the almighty intended the better our lives will be. Our life is a test. How will you be graded?

4/5Appalling
There are suppose to reviews for an iphone application not a forum on sexuality. I am more than as little shocked that Apple does not monitor these comments as it is clearly stated that language should not be hateful which many of these comments are. That said, this is a great app. While many of the findings seem to have been influenced by advertising dollars (there are some simply weird places located) in general, it works! It should be noted in order to write a review you need to download the program, so I suspect a lot of closeted individuals out there are having a good time writing abusive reviews while trolling the nearby hot spot.
