Easy to use, many filtering options to narrow your searches; I love the option of zooming in on the map and clicking ‘redo search in this area’. Also, it is easy to participate. I’ve added two places and this app is inspiring me to keep looking for more places in my little town, to share with others! Absolutely helpful, thank you for a wonderful app.
I have been traveling in Florida and we have been using Happy Cow to find vegan places to eat and it has been very useful and helpful. We are with a non vegan and we put in the veg options selection. It has helped us find many great meals. I find myself using the app more frequently. Great app and it keeps, getting better as people put in reviews and nice finds.
Amazing idea, but could be much better. They never updated the logo after the compition, doesn’t feel like there are many significant improvements to this app over time which is a shame especially in the recent years considering the massive rise in veganism. It feels like there is so much more potential that isn’t being explored. It has also kicked me out of my account after about just one month inactivity and won’t let me back in now!
Brilliant app – especially comes into it’s own when traveling and wanting to find a good place to eat. I initially paid a fee for the full version of the app but it now seems to have all features on the free version too!
Delicious, inventive vegan food! Just had a really special meal with perfect service, dog friendly too. The deserts looked amazing and I so wanted to try the pistachio creme cannoli but was too full. Just a few minutes walk from the centre, allowing a romantic stroll back to our accommodation. A must for vegans visiting Verona! Well done everyone involved!
Excellent app to find vegan and vegetarian food nearby! it’s up to date and finds stuff based on ur location and preferences. wish it had an option for allium and oil free, but I definitely appreciate it for weeding out the flesh eating spots!
A godsend for traveling vegans. I’ve been planning a trip to unfamiliar towns, and the Happy Cow reviews give me more information than a restaurant sometimes baseless claim to be “vegan-friendly”. Easy to navigate. Every vegan should download and use this app, as a consumer and as a contributor.
outstanding resource to cut through the noise of yelp when you’re trying to find food! Great that it labels each with Vegan, Vegetarian, and Options! So helpful!
love it! finds me options everywhere. I travel often for work so it takes the guesswork out of search for vegan options. well worth the price for the no ad version
Great yelp for us plant based. Easily find & add restaurants to app. Great customer service. Not annoying spam emails sent as often as possible.
Such a great app. So useful and I’ve tried several vegan restaurants because of it. Super easy to leave reviews and also super easy to navigate. I like it so far.
So happy to find Happy Cow! It helped my family plan a whole cross-country trip where we stopped almost exclusively at vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Such a great resource to find delicious food.
Awesome app! Allows you to sort by vegan, vegetarian, or restaurants with options. Found some great places I didn’t know about from this app.
updated my 3 star review to 4 stars because they did a great job on bug fixes. now if they got it to work offline that would be 5 stars. the ability to just download map data in advance for a country or state you are going to be would be great.
I like the app because it is very helpful and informative. I do not like the updates from the Google Play store that are necessary for this and any app.
Perfect app to use at home smd especially when traveling to find vegsn snd vegetarian eats. You will even find places thst have options on their menu even if not fully vegsn or vegetarian. We have found a pot of new places this way. Thank you Happy Cow!
So helpful. Thank you! I’d be great to have the option that when you add restaurant all the details will come automatically from Google maps, less mistakes and full info
This app is no different than regular dining apps. It has listing for ALL kinds of foods…and places they claim carries vegan foods, do not. Nothing special about this app. It’s wrong more than it’s right. I am already aware of every single restaurant in the area, they’re listed….they don’t carry vegan items. 🙄
Perfect app to find vegan food near you. Dear users, if you see something not listed, please list it, instead of complaining that the app is not good enough. Ask what you can do for others, instead of what others can do for you.
I am really glad I can find vegetarian and vegan restaurants, but not fond of all pizza restaurants showing up as an alternative. But that is just something I have to live with. So full score anyway
Price for premium is too high. I wish I could leave/view more information through reviews. Separate */5 for service, for quality and atmosphere would be nice. I’m not sure who gets to vote on the price */3, but many “budget” aren’t that cheap. Edit* super frustrating that you can’t add a listing from within the app. I still use the app, but only because there’s no alternative I’m aware of. Very low functionality and high price considering the community do all the leg work.
It’s hard traveling as a vegan. Happy Cow makes it bearable and even easy.
So so helpful, especially for holidays to save you ducking into every restaurant and bar looking for one sad vegan option! The filters are great as well so if I’m on my own I can find an entirely vegan place, or I’m with my partner (a meat eater) we can find places that have plenty of options for both of us. It’s not overly complicated and I like that they keep it simple. Will always recommend this app 10/10
Super helpful when you are in a unfamiliar area and looking for tasty healthy dietary fitting cuisine. 👌🏼
easy way to eat beyond well, delicious food recommendations here, get this app!
this app is very helpful and has led to successful fun family meals many times.
3 kind of vegan pizza, we tried 2, they were very delicious, we never thought we will eat vegan pizza in such a small city😅😋 We drunk some sangria too, everything was just perfect on a nice, hot, sunny day🤩
I am so grateful for Happy Cow as it has made travelling while being well fed as a vegan possible. As with any app it takes time to get used to the interface but Team Cow are very happy to help if you contact them. I love how you can choose to find vegan only places as well as places with vegan options if you’re travelling with a non vegan. I will be upgrading to the paid version to help the community. An improvement I would suggest is including an option to show gluten free options plus other common allergies. At the moment you can only find out in the user reviews if someone has mentioned this.
Has been extremely useful while traveling. Love the articles. The social aspect can be fun too.
Love being able to find vegan options wherever I am! This app is so useful! I do wish it had suggestions/examples of what to order.
Very useful, enhanced by very informative contributions. Even if you are not veggy / vegan, you’ll find some quality food.
I love this app!! I’ve used it in places on – what you could describe as – the edge of the world, not expecting to find any restaurants at all and still found an amazing array of options! Please rate the restaurants you visit and leave a review.. The more people participate, the easier it is to find a good place to eat in remote locations!
What on earth did you do that for? New version is awful. Still works, still is a vegan lifesaver but that cheap, counterintuitive interface…. Oh, ok, report in haste, repent at leisure. I did find a sensible way of using the interface but you don’t exactly make it easy to find….
Great app. Helped me a lot of my recent travels and I like the fact that it specifies whether a restaurant is vegetarian or fully vegan
Android 10 has been revealing just how many apps try to track my location in the background, despite not opening the app for weeks. Not necessary, not cool. Make sure you set the app to only have location access when open (and understand you’re probably still being tracked for reasons other than finding local results, again not cool). Otherwise a useful app when looking for vegan friendly eateries in a new city.
Good app to find and support local vegan/vegetarian restaurants. Need more active participation from restaurants to get listed.
very cool app that is easy to use. You can move the map around and click to search there easily
Great app, essential for a vegan in the city, known or unknown. I had originally paid the nominal fee for the full version, though I am happy full functionality is available to all now. The app works precisely as intended with all the useful information provided and has proved invaluable for myself on many occasions! Highly recommended!
Good app to find vegan food, using it a lot and am happy to find great options on trips or even my home town. However, I was very disappointed about one thing: When the new feature to find other people in your area was implemented the default settings in my profile were set to ‘show profile in search results’ and ‘turn on messages from users I don’t follow’. I care about my privacy and don’t intend to use Happy Cow as a socializing or dating app.
Nearly there! I really like what this app provides; I have many of friends who are vegan/vegetarian themselves. Which is the issue: I’m not either of those; I’m just lactose intolerant and therefore dairy free, and I’d really like that option in to profile section. It’s not necessary, I just don’t like it. I’m fine with eating vegan/vegetarian, I don’t NEED animal product. It’s just, I’d like to label myself correctly, since the diet is required to use the app, even if it doesn’t matter
