Zagat at App Store analyse

Used to be a great app. Now it’s close to useless unless you’re trying to find a place right around where you are.

some bug is effing with the location and giving me restaurants in Malibu??? I’m in Brooklyn??? What is good zagat ur so annoying I’m sick of it smh ??‍♂️

This was a great app. Now "search by neighborhood" does not work. Im in NY and it presents me lists of restaurants from other states (yes, location services is on). Menus have also been deleted and the number of photos has been reduced. Its practically useless.

For years, I have trusted Zagat to provide me with honest ratings of restaurants. No more. My wife and I live in New Orleans, where we enjoy a wide range of excellent restaurants. Recently, after The Zagat ownership changed hands, we noticed several of our favorite restaurants — all excellent places — had disappeared from the app searches. Second Update: Map searches result in pins but no map. Absolutely worthless. Also, as others have noted, they have not updated their restaurants. They continue to show “Zagat rated” restaurants that have been closed for months. Eater.com continues to impress me. They provide regular updates and also keep track of new openings and closings. Unfortunately, eater.com does not have an app, at least for now. Zagat needs to get their act together or cut bait. First Update: They seem to have restored the “missing” top notch restaurants that were historically present in the Zagat list of highly rated restaurants. However, there continue to be restaurants that are “Zagat rated”that I personally do not believe are worthy of the designation. Furthermore, when I tested the app again today, it diverted me to other cities, after I selected New Orleans as the location. Bugs galore. Since I discovered the issues with this app, I’ve been regularly using eater.com. Eater.com impresses me as providing honest and independent assessments of restaurants. I’ll give Zagat one more chance. If they don’t fix their issues, their app will be gone for good on my phone.

Unable to search for restaurants in other cities easily, which is pretty ridiculous. You can switch the Citys Best to another city, but not search for different cuisines, etc. Ridiculous. Please restore to the old pre-google, Handmark designed app.
