OpenRice App Reviews

So happy this is available. Most popular for food review. It will be perfect if support offline view or allow to save or bookmark or save my account

Easy to use and well integrated with map. It would be great to have English translation so I can recommend it to all my friends who are visiting HK as they all love to have eat.

I downloaded open rice for the sake of finding restaurants in Hong Kong and after I have came to the point that I started to write an review for a certain restaurant and they did not allow me to post it because they said I am contradicted with the comment from the local newspaper, this is so unprofessional act....

Plagued with advertisement, difficult to navigate, and some reviews are removed if they are negative. Very biased app. I sense corruption.

The overall look and functionality is good and easy to use. My main problem is the criteria for writing a review! I am not a food critic or a professional writer, but this hasnt ever been a barrier to contributing to other apps (ie. Yelp, Urban Spoon). I wrote a short review of a restaurant that stood out as a 5 out of 5 for me and my husband and wrote a super positive review and 5 out of 5 stars in all the categories. A few days later, I got an email stating, "Please avoid submitting a review that feels blank, with no solid description of the food and the overall dining experience. A review is the most useful when its descriptive and experiential, and offers helpful suggestions". I found it interesting that the criticism I received for being too vague, was also super vague. Like I said, I am not a professional writer and I am sure the majority of the users are not either and I am not going to spend more than 2 minutes on a review so the review criteria should accommodate short, brief, in the moment reviews. As long as the review doesnt give out names of servers or use swears (ie. similar to TripAdvisor) then any review should be posted. Especially if it is a 5 out of 5!! So despite the functionality of the app, the philosophy behind is restricting to use on the fly. Instead I am just going to drop a note off at the restaurant to credit the staff for their work, but that doesnt help spread the word to the broader community.

Even though I sort by building, this application shows restaurant located outside of chosen building. Once I turn off, should start from top page... So, messy.

opensnap is my GPS to good food

Good service and nice food. Parents and I got a great lunch for Yumcha

Stop this annoying ad

Hungry hungry no more!

force quit when still at splash screen.

Must slower than search from their website. (on iPhone) Each time only show one preview. Without bookmark funtion. Now I use safari to search restaurants.

Equivalent of yelp for HK. Would love if you could make a English version.

Great apps btw.

though the info bar on the left says "Language: English" this app is chinese only.

Ewww no english. Totally 100% unusable for those that cant read chinese.

This would be great if it had an English version - finding a restaurant in Hong Kong on the go is very difficult - this would be a great app for the English speaking traveller to HK...

Where is the English?

In the App info sys "Language : English" but it doesnt support English. I sent an email to OpenRice and they confirmed by return the App doesnt support English language. So its wrong info.....

Where can download the older version for iOS 3.1.3?
