Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Support for non-common allergies (latex, corn, etc.)

High Demand
"it would be great if it had a latex allergy filter. It's so hard to find kitchens that don't use latex gloves"
"I'm highly allergic to corn and even though i tried to filter it so it would show me food I could eat, the whole app is designed around nut/ gluten/ milk allergies"

#2: Multiple allergy profiles per account (family members)

High Demand
"there is no way to differentiate between your allergies and the allergies of a family member"
"Wanted to use to know allergy options my kids friends can have and the kids in the classrooms I room mom in"

#3: Pre-populated reliable data (not user-generated only)

High Demand
"Their 'search engine' is not a search engine at all. It's an overblown Excel file the user submit places"
"They don't research the company to find out if food is really safe based on manufacturing and processing."

#4: Easy account deletion

Medium Demand
"they make it nearly impossible to delete. You have to fill out a form and they will tell you that they'll delete your account within 30 days"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Launch with pre-populated, curated restaurant data for top 20 US cities

32% of complaints cite missing local content. Relying on UGC from day one is Spokin's fatal flaw. Partner with chains or scrape menu data to provide immediate value.

Build intelligent allergen filtering that actually works

27% report inaccurate recommendations showing their allergens. This is a trust-breaking bug. Proper filtering with verification is table stakes for this category.

Support multiple profiles per account (family mode)

Parents managing kids' allergies is a core use case. Enable switching between family member profiles to check 'can my kid eat this?' scenarios.

Zero-friction onboarding: select allergies, skip everything else

19% cite excessive data requirements and tedious setup. Get users to value fast - just select allergies and show nearby safe restaurants immediately.

Expand beyond top-8 allergens to include corn, latex, and other sensitivities

Underserved segment explicitly requesting broader allergy support. Competing apps focus only on common allergens, creating a differentiation opportunity.
