I was thinking that maybe jyee7 had been counting say Market Harborough or Gerrards Cross which are split over 2 lines as 2 places. The town of Market and the nearby town of Harborough. Then there's the town of Stratford and the village of Upon and the nearby town of Avon.
But that doesn't work as that would make a total of 129.
or perhaps we're fussing too much and it will all sync up eventually
In Android I 'force stopped' the BigDish app and cleared the data/cache. When I opened it again it was as though it was the first time - 4 screens explaining the app, then a list of locations. Users need to set an initial location from this list. I compared it with the location list from the website and both are the same (117).
It's possible they've segmented the customer base somehow, perhaps for a trial, so some of us see 122 and some 117. Would be useful if an Android user (that sees 122) could go through the force stop / clear data process and recount. Perhaps old locations are cached within the app.
Ive still got all locations on app
On my android, the list stays the same...as for my count earlier, to be honest, I got that from guy on advfn
Of course you can also access the website via a mobile - but that is not using the App. When I do that I can still see the locations which are all on the website.
I get 122 locations on the app
just counted again and I see 558 restaurants in 117 locations.
I'm using the website (not the app) to count. Perhaps the app / website are not in sync. This may account for me and Art having lower counts that Monty??
Although I count the locations at 122
Am I miscounting Spero or has it gone up?
Same just updated on AppStore
Mine still has the list
The App has been updated. The list of locations has now gone. Search is by typing in a location. Not a great improvement as yet.
Sorry, busy morning. My count taken at 14:45. We must've lost one in Sheffield since the earlier counts.
New location: Aldridge, Dudley, Middlesbrough, Purley, Stevenage (+1)
+2 London

+7 for the day
Total location count: 117

I counted London as +3 earlier and Leeds as +1 but it is now London +2 and Leeds the same as before.

New Locations (as if there aren't enough already) - Aldridge, Dudley, Middlesborough, Purley, Stevenage all +1
London +2

Count for today Spero?
Many thanks
Wildwoods in many locations
..Liverpool, LLandudno, Lincoln, Plymouth ..etc etc
Can only see Wildwoods in London & Essex, which other locations?
Possibly,RNS also said an Addison of 20 something coming on board...
They announced 500 before they were all online. Perhaps it's 562 agreed and they'll be added soon?
Spero according to RNS, 562 restaurants live on the BigDish platform?
Whitehouse hotel restaurant in Llandudno was added around 10:30 this am
I got one more than Art
+1 Belfast, Manchester, London, Peterborough, Llandudno
New locations: Burnley, Hertford, Powys, Walsall (all +1)
+9 for the day
Total location count: 112
Total restaurant count: 551
236 restaurants added in January but only 141 added in February. If that isn't a slow down then you should remove your rose-tinted specs for a few minutes. With the virus now adding to the uncertainty I would expect the slow down to continue.
Continually putting new restaurants in their own new location won't fool everybody. 92 out of the 112 locations have less than 5 restaurants.
Not many in the pipeline either - 21 as opposed to 91 last month.
If that isn't a slowdown then you should take off your rose-coloured specs for a minute or two.
