WhereU for Android
Great app only problem is I can't find ANY locations near me. I beg the creators to please expand their listing of black owned business and organizations in "non-popular" areas. Especially in the Arkansas area where I'm from where there are many B.O.B's. Thank you.
Downloaded today, like this application thus far! However, there are very few places listed here in Seattle WA under certain categories. I would love to see more listings here. Other than that this app is easy to navigate, search. I like that it has categories and offer the option to "like" a business. That being said it will get 4 stars until more Seattle locations pop up.
Need to be able to hone in on city's within the country you live in. I live in New Orleans and literally every option I choose the location of that business is 400 miles away. New Orleans has alot of BOB.... Liberty bank didn't even pop up, a business founded around 1972. I'll give it some time but I'll be back to try again
this morning. Went through the steps including entering my e-mail for registration. Waited for the down arrow to go away over the home icon & was able to check out some of the businesses the app has listed!! 1 gripe: not a very comprehensive list geographically speaking. I'm in Philly & there aren't too many businesses listed on the app in my area that aren't in the "restaurants" category. Hopefully more folks are able to get the app working & add to the lists. This could be an AAMAZING for us! Much needed.
I love the colorway, images, and concept. I will hang in here and check back daily but I am having problems connecting and or there is no information to retrieve. I am looking forward to accessing this when all of the kinks are out. Keep up the effort! It is appreciated
It seems the connection issues have been fixed but there are not many listings near me. I know there are plenty of BOBs around me so maybe people just need to know about the app... it looks great!
Everything on here is for the south.. nothing in the bay area.. Richmond, rodeo, pinole, Oakland California... Bring some things our way.. we also want to support black business... I can't find nothing price efficient for kids clothing.. no black banks.. cleaners, grocery store.... Come this way...
You guys have to get the server going.. this app is buzzing around my neighborhood. A lot of people would like to download
There aren't any listings in my state, let alone in my city. I live in New York and in many cases the closest businesses were in Georgia. This is a huge oversight that I hope is remedied soon as I would love to be able to support businesses owned by poc over corporate America.
After downloading & sending my registration email I was unable to use the app. It wouldn't load past the home page. I saw on twitter that there were server issues, so I waited it out. Got an email detailing the issues & stating to uninstall, then reinstall the app. Did that & it was the same as before. Such a bummer.
I have yet to see past the opening page. Keep getter hit with a notice saying failure to connect with servers
I absolutely love it and it is a must share. It needs more business. We need more businesses. I need a Grocery Store. I'm in New Orleans, the bank should come up on here too. We gotta get this right. #letsgetthismoney #igottousethis
I've suggested several black owned business in Detroit which were added and then removed shortly afterwards. Every time I search Detroit nothing shows up.
I can't connect to the server. Not sure if it's because many people have downloaded them recently, but it'd be really great if it could be fixed soon.
Asking to register and directing to email for information. Is this an app feature?
I already see everybody saying there's connection issues. I don't even care. We're here to Support. When any other app is having Traffic issues, we just wait until they fix it and we come right back. We need to do the same with this. Who can verify if this is a Black-Owned App??
I really wanted this app to work but it doesn't. I wont uninstall yet but it would be great if it was useful..I really want to spend my money with BOB but I need a little help in locating them.This could really benefit us of the kinks were worked out.
give it time to smooth out, app might have high volume demands. also, beware of racists giving the app low ratings JUST CAUSE.
It won't connect to the server. At a time like this..it's imperative that this problem get fixed, or people won't be able to help our community.
I was having the connect to server issue too so I turned off my Wi-Fi to download the app and it worked perfectly fine afterwards, hopefully that helps!
Worked perfectly for me....blasted it on my gram page to get more people to join. I think it's a spectacular idea
Love the idea for the app. I only keep getting the opening page and a message that it can't connect to the server. I was also sent an email back when I tried to register the account. I will keep the app and wait for an update. Thank you
only shows the opening page. I really want this to work
I can't connect to the server. We're willing to help you guys to get the same numbers as twitter, Facebook, instagram, and snapchat but we need it to work
Giving them a 5 just because its owned by blacks. I know it doesnt work fully 100% but at least my people trying
Please fix connection issues...a lot of people who downloaded the app cant get past the welcome page. It's such an inconvenience when the app doesn't work especially at a time like this.
The app is new. It still has a long way to go to fill the services. Afterwards, I think it will be an awesome app.
Doesn't have anything within 400 miles of me really. Get more businesses signed up be happy to help we have a whole bunch here in Louisiana
I wanted to spread the word about this app. It's such an amazing idea but it's not even working. Get it together! The black community needs this!!
My whereu app keeps saying oops whereu failed to retrieve the location for this server can someone tell me how to solve this
There is no b.o.b. within 200+ miles I find this highly unlikely. Some updating would be nice...goggle,Waze type models and it would be great
This App is so important. Keep building the network and adding more info. It's dependant on us to make it what we know it should be.
Please update the locations. There are some closed business listed. Also, please provide an option to have choices listed by a default the user chooses.
I like this app because it shows our options to shop and it Support and its educational. Support our people.
It's nice to know that these places exist but where are the links to their online stores? Since I saw none, I attempting to web search for myself and the particular one did not exist. I couldn't find it anywhere. I think there should be links to their websites. But again, at least we know they exist... I guess.
This app works fairly well!! And is Super useful, depending on what city you're in. It's Loaded with great companies and potential to be even better!! Looking forward to growing with you all! #BuyBlack #BlackPower!
App doesnt have anything really on it...not really any resources
Excellent to find black owned business near u.
There's a dialog box that appears when you initially download the app. It states if you see an arrow pointing down over the 'home' tab there is content that is still downloading for offline use. You must remain connected to your Internet access/WiFi in order for all the content to appear. And of course you'll need to continue to be connected to Internet in order to use your location to search for businesses closest in proximity. Please ensure you're following the instructions and recommend this app! :)

The Near Me sorted search options listed places in New Jersey and Texas before listing anything that's actually near me (in Georgia) and my location was turned on... It would be great if y'all could add better search options: such as search by city, state or zip code (similar to how Indeed has it).
