Hopefully by next year the app will branch out to different countries. As of now, it's just me adding businesses to the database one by one. I still have thousands to add in the States.

@Goldie lookin good so far bruh. Some initial thoughts:
  • When clicking on a restaurant i'm usually used to swiping the left side of the screen to go to the previous page. Right now that action closes the app. To go back to the previous page I have to hit the back button thats under the images and that button/link is kinda small

  • Are you caching the photos? I notice they are loading progressively. Some load a lil slowly

  • If you can, consider having the menus as a link. Like under Call, View Address, Instagram and Website. Might save the user a step or a few clicks to be able to access the menu rather than going to the site and searching for the menu
Ima be able to give it a proper test next week and ill give some more feedback ✌🏽

Great feedback.

Ill add the ability to swipe left when I get back to the crib and ill work on making the images load faster.


Add a button similar to "instagram" and "website " that'll be for a restaurant's menu? That can definitely be done.


Ill work on everything this weekend and add a new updated version of the app to Google.

All yall would have to do is go to the Google Play Store and click the update.
 
Not sure if the other testers see this but the top of the page interferes with my notification bar

I'm using stock android so I can't remember if I have the ability to hide the notification bar but may want to consider resizing

I made sure that wouldn't be an issue for the bottom nav bar but forgot the notification bar. Ill have it fixed this weekend.
 
Ill try to have a couple dozen more businesses added before the new update.

What's the protocol for adding more businesses If I come across a Black business?
Click to expand...

I'm working on that right now. I'm adding a dropdown to the "more" tab with an option to add a business. They'll also be a tab on the profile page to add a business.


There's atleast 10 new things i've added to the app in the last 2 days. The updated version of the app will be available tomorrow.
 
I definitely see the potential in this. Especially when i don't feel like having to weed thru a bunch of unnecessary sites google pulls up. I'm assuming you're starting wit major cities 1st, and then the rest along the way? Cuz Cincinnati ain't pop up.
 
Damn, I wish i saw that post a few hrs ago. I just finished the latest update for the app. I'll add businesses in Cincinnati on the next update!
 
The latest version of the app is available in the Google Play Store. If you already have it downloaded, just go to the Play Store and click on your icon. Click "Manage apps & device" and then click "update" for the app.


I added a bunch of new things (ability to swipe, rating system, "suggest a business" page, etc)
