• Allows users to share, rate and review their gluten-free finds.
• App can be personalized to ignore businesses and chain restaurants that don’t meet your needs and mark others as favorites.
• Deals and discounts available from some participating restaurants.
• Supporting Find Me Gluten Free website available.

 Cons

• App allows “featured” restaurants top billing but these are not always the most relevant.
• Popular chains may or may not list which gluten-free menu items are available.
• App helps identify potential gluten-free businesses but often requires additional research on the individual restaurants’ website for complete details.

Bottom Line
