HappyCow - Vegan Food Near You App Reviews

If youre a vegan or vegetarian, you must download this app. It is essential and can be your best travel companion. Ive found all sorts of great restaurants in my own city and while traveling all around the world. Happy Cow makes the cows happy (less meat eating) and us vegetarians even more happy dining on delicious veggie food all over the place. Think Yelp for vegetarians. This app rocks!

Using for first time to find better options when traveling. Id give another star but current version (feb14) is crashing sometimes. Try it though, it is helping me.

Traveling or even just going to another city this app will help you find great stores and great good!

The perfect app for any vegan. I highly suggest this to any vegan looking for meal options in their area. This app covers all the bases! Take-out, dine-in, bakeries, grocery stores, etc!

Great concept but when you go to a restaurants website and return to app your current search is no longer available, so you must start again. Very annoying... Allow in app website launch or direct link to restaurants menu then this app is perfect.

So helpful when I go out to eat with friends in a town Im unfamiliar with!

I have followed Happy Cows suggestions on y many trips around Europe and have always been really happy with the food! Fantastic app, I have already recommended it to friends and colleagues :)

Love this app. Thank you Happy Cow!!!

We used this in several cities and towns in Europe. The recommended restaurants and cafés usually ended up being the best meals we had in those cities.

My boyfriend and I both are veggies and never find anywhere to eat I have used the happychow website a lot just got this app very excited!

Thank god for this app. If youre a vegan/vegetarian its a must have. Not the best UI though, but good enough.

A convenient list of everything vegan! Peace, plants. ;)

I have used the website for a few years around the world & before this trip to central/South America I bought the app thinking it would really make life easier... Seems like I waste half a (terribly frustrating) day trying to find any of the places listed. They have either closed down (anywhere from 6 months to a year ago - literally NONE of 7 places listed in one city were open anymore) or they are so completely wrong on the map that more than once I took so long to find them they closed for the day by the time I did find it!!! To top it off I end up stumbling upon vegan/veggie places on my own - & yes, I know I should be adding them to the app - but does anyone work for this app? Check hours, locations, see if its still open???? I just figure why bother wasting so much time & energy using the app/website when I end up in places not even listed & half my day gone? Some places are obviously much easier than others to find vegan options - & central/South America has been a total b&@¡¿ this trip so the fact that everything is outdated or wrong for happy cow is just really souring things moreso for me. & it is not just this trip - south-east Asia last year - I was consistently & constantly embarrassed when convincing groups of friends (usually not veggies) to join me in indulging in veg places just to cart them around on wild-goose chases around cities with the same problems: closed down or not even close to mapped location. I feel like just plain ol Google & checking the recent dates of reviews or restaurant websites themselves are more helpful. Sorry happy cow - but get your cow-patty together & make this app what it should be!!!

If you open the app and no longer have a data connection you get nothing. How about a cached version of what you last viewed? Searching for places outside of your current location is ineffective and painful. Adding restaurants doesnt seem to be possible inside the app. Most things work better on the full site.

Really good App...

Im really excited to try some of the restaurants listed in the app! I had no idea how many vegan places there are near me. Only problem with this app is the price is pretty steep. I think more people would buy it if it was $0.99 !!!

Thanks so much for creating this app!! Very helpful and so necessary!

Thought this might be a great companion for finding vegan meals in town. Had to pay so the app could list three restaurants. Three. As a bonus its also not updated for the larger screen size of the new iPhones. Suggestions? Yelp and Foursquare do a much better job than this app. Im sorry I wasted the money on this.

Very useful!!!

Well, this is awkward. Theres a note that says "dont update if you have iOS 8", but thats no help at all if youre installing for the first time on iOS 8. App cant get past the splash screen; website/safari version wont load maps and directs you to the app (which doesnt work) to see search results on a map. Sigh. Fix this please!
