  • 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
