A GOOD START. Works quite well & provides some useful info. As with the other AA guide apps, this one also unfortunately doesn’t allow any posting of user reviews or ratings, so we have to put total faith in the AA’s own rating system! It’s a shame, therefore, that the rating isn’t shown in the search results list, & it doesn’t appear until one clicks through to each individual entry. Similarly, it would be nice to have an option to Sort order based on ratings (the Sort order currently appears to be only for distance from chosen/ current location). There is a good choice of search Filters, though, for particular cuisine styles. The Vegetarian filter is sadly a little under-designed. It merely seems to include those restaurants which have a veggy option, which nearly all do, nowadays. Better would be for it to filter those which are predominantly veggy, or have Numerous veggy menu choices. Otherwise, it would probably be safer for a veggy to just ring a restaurant before traveling there, to confirm what veggy choices, if any, the restaurant has available on that day. A generally good app, though, & I hope the database will become more extensive.

Rubbish It's fair enough that it can't list every restaurant in the UK: it's a transfer of the printed AA guide. But when it doesn't show all the entries in the printed AA guide, there's something wrong. Eg I looked up Cartmel and it only showed one restaurant. But that review refers to another restaurant in Cartmel and even says "see entry". How? You can't search by restaurant name. This app really feels like it's been put together on the cheap and in a hurry. Disgraceful attempt to harvest your details for spam

Worse than useless I looked up Bodmin, in Cornwall. The AA app thinks the only places to eat are in Truro, more than 20miles away. I then wanted to see what the app thought of a particularly good restaurant in Newquay. It was not listed - according to the app, there is nowhere at all to eat in Newquay. This is outrageous. It is more reliable to walk around town and pick a place to eat at random. Come on, AA, if you do not want to help, do not bother publishing your app.
