Where To? Search nearby places App Reviews

My go to app when looking for almost anything, especially restaurants. Love it.

It is the greatest app to use to get yourself around in a new city or even in your home town. Great for finding just about anything and links up to my TomTom gps app. Great APP.

This app used to be good until the most recent two revisions. Now the wheel spins for minutes and minutes and the screen is frozen while waiting for network update. Somebody screwed up and modified either server access or app access to network. Please fix. Useless as it is.

3D was one of the coolest features about this app. 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.

Been using this App 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.

This app is only ok. In my opinion its missing some basic functionality. The biggest example that comes to mind is that when you leave the app it continues to use location services. It even does so if you force quit the app, so its a battery killer. Youll have to go into settings every time and disable and then reenable location services whenever you want to use the app again. The other thing thats missing is just the ability to look at the map and see whats 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.

While the app was due for a visual design overhaul (to align with iOS 7 & 8), that doesnt really warrant a paid upgrade with no real additional functionality. But when I discovered a companion app for my Pebble smartwatch that you can use for directions and "keep your iPhone in the pocket while walking or driving" I ponied up. Boy, was I disappointed to find that these directions consist of - literally - just the direction (and distance - in a straight line). There is no real-life use case where that information can be used as a substitute for driving directions, allowing you to keep your phone in your pocket. Unless your car can fly, you probably shouldnt just aim toward a restaurant and floor it. Or you and the restaurant are in the middle of an open field. Even walking its questionable if you can use the direction and as-the-crow-flies distance to get to a destination. So its a bit perplexing that they would market this as a way to navigate while keeping your phone in your pocket. Its actually misleading. Hopefully, its just version 1.0 of this feature and they plan on displaying actual, navigable directions in the near future. Definitely dont upgrade just for the integration with Pebble. Its cute, but currently fairly useless.

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 cant 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 youve bought this app based upon that wow factor then without it, makes it a little less palatable. I used to love opening up the app in its 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 Im 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.

This has been my go to app for years to locate services when I am on the road. It now finds what Im looking for but crashes when I click on the pin. Now useless.

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 cant believe you charge for this. The free version was better

"Where To" has been at the very top of my app list for years. Ive 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 youre 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. Its like google maps, yelp, chowhound, and TripAdvisor all rolled into one. Indispensable for travelers. Keep up the good work, folks!

Good to see the app 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 the app locates 2. That should be easy to get right but its 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 the app. And the developers are not playing by the new rules for using the while in use location services despite the feedback they are ignoring. Its not worth downloading and certainly not worth paying for. Use Yelp. Its magnitudes better.

This App is the best for finding just about anything. Ive tried the competitors 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.

Beautiful UI with predictive search capabilities and reviews to boot! Its my go to search for everything and anything outside of my own house!  WATCH app is a must. loads extremely fast and provides easy to acces information within favorites and categories! Destroys all of the competition namely local scope and around me! My wishes for future updates: • Make the Apple watch glance a single category that list the top 3 hits within that category • Be able to place a call on the  WATCH from the information page (like the iphone) • Option to use Yelp reviews and other comparable platforms Thanks devs for such a polished app!!

NEW REVIEW July 26 2015 Where To was updated so it works with tomtom again. My rating is five stars for being able to find anything anywhere quickly, worldwide. And sending it to tomtom or other nav app means no typing. Ive owned this app for years and it is the best.

Crashes every time I open on Apple watch.

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

Awesome app. I use it all the time.

On road trips this is our go to app.

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