HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (317 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription19%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The App Store indicated the app was 4.99, fine, but then I was charged over $38, WTAF.
★★★★★ The filtering is non existent. You can't filter by vegetarian options available or open now. It's clunky and I found it unusable during my trip to Japan. Opened it twice and was so frustrated by the experience I didn't…
★★★★★ I just deleted the app after having it for 2 years, wasting my time and money.
Bugs, things not working11%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'm sure they'll reply to this when the bug is fixed.
★★★★★ Every time when I zoom-in or out and there is no restaurants around, the app sends me all the way to the closes city w/ restaurants. Then J try to move map to my destination and the app resets the state and sends me…
★★★★★ I paid the app and received an error that would not let me log in.
Login and account problems11%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Cannot register using the Apple sign in option, get spinning wheel.
★★★★★ I can't get past the sign up page.
★★★★★ As an exclusive holder of my iTunes account, I was perplexed to notice a charge for an application I unequivocally did not authorize.
Wrong or poor results11%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I started using it and one of the first restaurants on the list has been closed for years with another restaurant in its place, so I'm assuming at least in my area this is useless.
★★★★★ I went to a restaurant listed on here, I get there after walking for 20 mins, restaurant is no longer at that location. Today, I went to another restaurant here listed as “vegan” and to my surprise, there was not a…
★★★★★ When I try open map I get “Something wrong, try later”(((
No customer support11%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Secondly, the “iPad version” (if you can call it that with a straight face) doesn't support landscape AND they block this app from running on macOS.
★★★★★ I emailed them to ask for an explanation and apology and no response.
★★★★★ This experience underscores the need for stringent measures to protect consumers from unauthorized transactions and highlights the importance of responsive customer service in addressing such grievances.
Worse after an update9%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ We try to make updates on a regular basis, but restaurants are not updated with menu, hours, or still vegan options.
★★★★★ This is a good basic resource but it's not updated and you can find more options just by a simple web search.
★★★★★ Please update your app immediately if you want to support small businesses!
Limits, credits, locked features7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I use this app all the time and now it cost $4.99. That crazy
★★★★★ This situation raises significant concerns regarding the security of my financial information, as my credit card was charged without my consent.
★★★★★ However I think it is absolutely ridiculous that they limit who you can give 5 stars to.
Lost data, sync, backup6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you're writing a review and accidentally swipe down from the center of the screen, it deletes your review and there's no place to retrieve it. So instead of writing a review for their platform, I'm writing this one…
★★★★★ So I deleted and it said I needed to pay $4.99.
★★★★★ I just deleted the app after having it for 2 years, wasting my time and money.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I love the idea of this app but I wish it was not only geared towards completely vegan spots but also “vegan options” and “vegetarian option” too. 3★, Sep 7, 2026
  • So I wish it was a little bit more friendly toward ppl with mixed dietary needs. 3★, Sep 7, 2026
  • Want to add a new listing or correct false information? 1★, Mar 1, 2026
  • Feature request: CarPlay! 5★, Jan 5, 2026
  • just wish there was a thing where if a restaurant went out of business it'd disappear from the site 5★, Dec 2, 2025
  • I wish I used this app sooner. 5★, Oct 18, 2025
  • I should not have to fully research a given business in order to add some of their information. 4★, Oct 12, 2025
  • I think it would be more up to date and have more data if you could add a couple of mandatory fields and then choose your own optional categories to add. 4★, Sep 9, 2025

Worth the money4%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The website is free but this app is way quicker to use.
★★★★★ But, I wish they would reduce the barrier to entry that seems a little high to the detriment of the platform's growth, like having a free version of the app and not requiring people to write a review if they just want…
★★★★★ It's worth it the small fee that actually supports the app development and is more than worth it to have it available for any time you decide to explore new cities and new vegan food places worldwide.

Amazing app!

Have been using this app for years and it’s been a lifesaver!

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
An essential tool for vegans and vegetarians

I have been a subscriber for many years now. This is an essential tool for any time I travel anywhere. Even just in my hometown to see what options are available. I just moved to a new area and wanted to provide a meal for the people helping me move. It was so helpful to see the local Thai restaurant had a full vegan menu as well as a local Italian restaurant. It’s just invaluable. Thank you!

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Deleted my review while I was writing it, no iPad or Mac support

If you’re writing a review and accidentally swipe down from the center of the screen, it deletes your review and there’s no place to retrieve it. So instead of writing a review for their platform, I’m writing this one star review instead. I’m sure they’ll reply to this when the bug is fixed. I’m very annoyed. Secondly, the “iPad version” (if you can call it that with a straight face) doesn’t support landscape AND they block this app from running on macOS. The app developers give vegans a bad name by being not only controlling, but highly incompetent.

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Outstanding

I rely on this app whenever I travel. Thank you!!

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
My go-to!

This is one of my favorite apps of all time. I use it everywhere I go. It’s really nice that you can sort by whether you are looking for a vegan, vegetarian, or veg-options establishment when there are limited choices in a region.

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026
Global vegan yum!

I’ve used Happy Cow across the country, as well as in Canada, Italy, Portugal and Mexico. It’s fantastic!
