Quick answer
Yes. Wanderin reads the Google reviews of the best-rated places near you and pulls out what you came for, including what things really cost. You tell it where you sleep and what you want. It does the reading.
Yes, and it is called Wanderin. You type where you are staying and what you want. It reads the reviews, so you can skip them.
Reviews are a brilliant idea with a terrible user interface. The answer to "what does a haircut cost here?" is in there somewhere, under a man describing his divorce.
Is there an app for Google reviews?
Plenty, and most are not for you. Search for one and you land on tools that help a business collect and answer its reviews or monitor and analyze them. Useful if you own the barbershop. Useless if you just need the barbershop.
How can you read Google reviews?
The manual way: open a place, sort by newest, scroll, repeat for the next nine places, forget which one was which. That is your evening. A faster manual method if you insist:
- Sort by newest, because last year's owner is not cutting your hair.
- Search inside the reviews for the word "price" or the local currency.
- Skip the five-star one-liners and read the long three-star ones.
- Write the number down, because you will not remember it by place six.
How to summarize Google reviews?
Hand the job over. Wanderin does the reading across the best-rated places near you and brings back the part you wanted. Every price comes with its receipt: where it came from and the quote, so you can check it in one look.
Why read a novel for one haircut?
Reading reviews is not research. It is unpaid labour with a nice map on it. Name your hotel, say what you want, and let Wanderin read the reviews while you do something you flew here for.
