HappyCow is an Android application built for vegans, vegetarians and health-conscious eaters. Users can locate plant-based restaurants, cafes and grocery stores.
Global approach
Restaurants are found based on GPS location or manual search. Each listing includes directions, hours, photos and ratings to guide decision-making. Businesses are marked by dietary categories to avoid confusion. At the time of writing this review, users can enjoy their favorite meals in over 180 countries.
As for listings, they come with menu highlights, pricing, reviews and images uploaded by other users. This allows people to get a feel for the food and atmosphere before visiting. On top of that, you can filter results by cuisine type, gluten-free availability, opening hours and more. The app also supports searches for grocery stores, bakeries and juice bars. Dietary preferences are fully customizable for more accurate results.
Traveling
You can bookmark your favorite spots or create collections for planned trips, just like in Eatwith. It is possible to organize lists by city or date, helping with vegan-friendly itinerary building.
