Not helpful - extremely frustrating.

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others to find vegan options - & central/South America has been a total b&@¡¿ this trip so the fact that everything is outdated or wrong for happy cow is just really souring things moreso for me.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!!!
