    Frequently Asked Questions
     
    What is the current version of the app?
    The current version of the app is 1.7 for iOS and 1.2 for Android.
     
    How accurate is the data in the app?
    What sets us apart from crowd sourced food finder apps is that instead of relying on users to add business listings to our database, which can be prone to errors, biased and inaccurate information, we have researched and confirmed every listing. We have taken particular care to ensure that all information listed on our database is correct. We also regularly recheck all of the businesses listed to ensure that our database is up to date. If you come across an error, please let us know and we will fix the error as soon as possible.
     
    How often is the app database updated?
    We update the app database daily. This includes adding new listings, as well as checking existing listings for accuracy. Due to the large number of listings in our database, and the time it takes to confirm all of the business details for our database, you may come across an error in our database. If you do, please let us know, so we can fix it straight away.

    Notifications Permission
    The first time you open the app, you will see the notifications permission popup. We send out notifications regularly when there is a new city or region added to the app, or to advise app users of other important information. If you would like to receive these notifications (recommended), then tap allow, otherwise tap Don’t Allow. If you accidentally tap Don’t Allow, you will have to turn on notifications via the main settings menu on your device, there is no option to turn on notifications within the app except for the initial popup the first time you open the app.
     
    Login/Sign up
    After you have responded to the notifications permissions popup, the next step is to either login, sign up or skip. If you would like to be able to leave comments or ask questions within the app, then you will need to sign up to the app. The sign up process is very simple and you simply need to provide a username, a valid email address and choose a password. Please note that this is the only personal information that the app will request from you and we do not disclose your email address to any third parties unless we are responding to a legal court order requesting that information. Once you have entered the relevant information, tap "Sign Up" and the app will bring you to the browse cities page.
     
    If you already have an account for the app, then simply enter your email and password and tap "Login" and the app will bring you to the browse cities page.
     
    If you do not wish to sign up for the app, you can simply tap the "Skip" button located in the upper right corner of the screen. This will bring you directly to the browse cities page without having to login or sign up to the app.

    Location Permission
    The first time that you open the app, a popup will appear to ask your permission for the app to use your location.
    Whilst it is possible to use the app without permission to use your location, by giving permission for the app to use your location, the app will be able to provide you with the distance between your location and the restaurant, hotel, attraction, etc you are viewing. The app is also able to provide you with turn by turn directions (via Google Maps) from your location to your chosen restaurant, hotel, attraction, etc. The app does not track your location, and your location is only stored on your device. Your location is not stored on our servers. This means that we do not have access to your location at anytime. Please note that if you choose to use the turn by turn directions via Google Maps, Google may have access to your location and you can look up Google’s policy on how they use your location information.

    Browse and Search for Cities
    You can browse the cities and regions in the app by simply down to scroll through all of the cities and regions in the app. The capital cities are listed first, then other cities and regions are listed alphabetically. When you come across the city or region you would like to view, simply tap on the city or region.

    Unlocking Cities
    All capital cities are included in the initial app purchase price. Other cities and regions can be accessed via an in-app purchase. You can purchase an individual city or region or you can purchase All Cities & Regions. If you think you are going to unlock more than a few cities or regions, it would be more cost effective to purchase All Cities & Regions.
     
    Please note that if you purchase a city or region, it will not affect the price of unlocking All Cities & Regions. This means that if you purchase one city or region and then decide to purchase All Cities & Regions, it will end up costing you more than if you just purchased All Cities & Regions to begin with.
     
    Once you have purchased All Cities & Regions, you will automatically get access to any additional cities or regions that are added to the app in the future at no further cost.

Another example would be if you want to find dining options in a particular suburb, enter the name of the suburb in the search field and tap enter.
