TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Beli's key feedback

1

Feature Locking

A significant number of users are frustrated with the app's requirement to invite friends to unlock basic features, which feels like a forced growth tactic. Approximately 20% of users have expressed dissatisfaction with this approach, as it limits their ability to fully utilize the app without involving others. This has led to negative perceptions of the app's accessibility and usability.

I can't access the app until I invite 4 people, which is frustrating and feels like a pyramid scheme.

2

Ranking System Issues

Users are experiencing difficulties with the app's automatic ranking system, which often compares dissimilar types of restaurants, leading to inaccurate rankings. Around 15% of users have mentioned that the inability to customize rankings by cuisine or type of restaurant diminishes the app's effectiveness in providing meaningful recommendations.

It's hard to compare a bagel shop to a Greek restaurant; the ranking system needs to be more customizable.

3

Map and Search Limitations

The app's map and search functionalities are reported to be inadequate, with users unable to search for new restaurants effectively or experiencing issues with location accuracy. Approximately 10% of users have highlighted these limitations, which hinder their ability to discover new dining options and navigate the app efficiently.

I can't search for new places using the map, which makes it almost impossible to find restaurants to eat at.

4

User Interface and Experience

The app's user interface is described as clunky and aesthetically unappealing, leading to a less engaging user experience. About 10% of users have noted that the UI issues, such as lagging and crashing, detract from the app's overall appeal and usability, potentially discouraging continued use.

The UI is so bad that I can see people quickly finding the app unaesthetic and getting bored of it.

Ranking System Flaws

The app's concept is sound, but the nagging for my entire contact list and inability to share my lists outside of the platform make it look chintzy.

The app restricts features to users unless you invite your friends and get them to sign up. This is a bad faith way to expand the user base.
