Synopsis of the App

The Find Me Gluten Free app lists restaurants ratings and reviews based on how gluten-friendly the businesses are in the area. This makes it easier for those suffering from celiac disease and gluten intolerance to find gluten-free menus and restaurants. This app is designed for travelers to find restaurants with a complete gluten-free menu, gluten-free ingredients or a restaurant that will cater to gluten-free customers. Businesses are tagged with special gluten-free features they offer, such as pizza, pasta or bread.

Pros

Clearly organized with tabs that lead to chain restaurant menus and a search for local businesses
Very good for those who travel, can search for restaurant by location or by address
Contains local and chain restaurants
Provides gluten-free menu for restaurants, as well as their website and information to the company

Cons

Limited reviews from users on restaurants

Bottom Line

This app has potential for consumers who are looking for nearby restaurants that offer gluten-free options. However, it does not tell them what they should try, avoid or consume. It needs to provide review criteria to make it more relevant to gluten-free consumers. More ratings need to be posted before I could recommend clients to use this app.
