Comments on Hot Pepper Gourmet for Android

★★★★★ Native · Oct 20, 2011

これはめちゃ便利☆ If u can't read this, then don't bother downloading. Learn the language b4 giving a bad review. It's great to use coupons straight from my phone!

★★★★★ Andrew · Sep 14, 2011

People who whine about this app not being in English need to realize just how small a minority they are in its target country.

★★★★☆ A Google User · Jun 6, 2012

I gave it 4 stars because I think its amazing idea, as a chef, but can't read it.

★☆☆☆☆ A P · Dec 17, 2025

Do not use this app, as they will edit your personal info without consent. You will be able to make a reservation with hotel number, but then there is no way to cancel the reservation if you don't have a personal Japan number (service provider lied to me my SIM comes with number). I expected to be charge for a fee because of no show, then something worse happened, they changed my name into something disrespectful.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Nov 28, 2012

Can't understand it The app is not in English. Unfortunately I can't understand it and had to delete it.

★☆☆☆☆ Rogba · Aug 7, 2011

I think that hot pepper should only run in the country in which the language is as people can find it hard to read Japanese and I think it fools people
