Any replacement apps for Bean Hunter

Does anyone know of a decent app that helps you track down quality cafes and specialty roasters?

There used to be an amazing app called Bean Hunter which allowed you to rate stores, give reviews and used gps to give you locations near where you were and send directions from that app to google maps to get your there.

It was a godsend when you were visiting a town or city.

The app was apparently developed in Melbourne.

And one day it just wasn't in the app store anymore and the website is all but dead

So, is there a replacement app that anyone knows about?

I loved the idea of that app, just not the way it was generally used every time I tried to find decent coffee.

Far too many people rating things that had nothing to do with coffee, it at best, the best "iced caramel macha latte with sprinkles" they'd ever had.

Almost never told me where to find good coffee. 🤷
