• (2023-03-19) Edward Nagurny: Installs without authorization across google accounts. Doesn't uninstall across your chrome platform. Trash app.
• (2022-08-04) Zundfolge: Several flaws: 1) it works off of your location, so since I use a VPN it thinks I'm half way across the country from where I actually am (should give us the option of manually entering location). 2) Doesn't seem to be a search function, so all I can do is browse. 3) Doesn't allow me to click on a store's name and then have it give me the physical address so I can go there in the physical world and buy the item (or just shop for similar items they might not have listed). So yeah, this is nothing like "Amazon for local businesses".
• (2021-09-11) andrei i: does nothing without a signup.
• (2021-08-04) Ben B: It's a good concept, but it's pretty difficult to use. The extension window is small and if you open any of the links or click off the extension it closes it completely and you have to start over from the beginning.
• (2021-08-04) Benjamin Kaupp: This vendor uses duplicitous advertising practices, buying accounts on Reddit to spam their product. You will also notice that most of their 5-star reviews follow the same formula of one sentence about the great product and the next sentence about begging more vendors to sign up.
• (2021-06-15) Joey Tanny: Great initiative! Way to support local businesses.
• (2021-05-26) Jim Crutcher: I love the concept, but am not seeing the kind of things I'm looking for. An example would bicycle shops in my area. Gardening is another interest. When I clicked on "Want to see your favorite small business on Sook? Tell us about it HERE", in order to suggest these, it wanted to know how I wanted to open this. I'm hoping this will develop into a more robust platform for buying local.
• (2021-03-22) mark cohen: Hi! I'm sure you're already aware that we need a way to manually set our location on devices without gps or using a vpn. The IP 'guess' for my desktop is off by ~4.5 miles. My son's vpn is about 70. Like the idea. Hope this works out, and you can expand it to other types of retailers and services. TIL: Apparently, there are people stupid enough to shell out $337 for a plain white tee shirt.
• (2021-03-18) David Ryan: Great way to shop local! Love this!
• (2021-02-22) Gin Lover: Reminds me of Pinterest - not sure why they haven't made this comparison.
• (2021-02-22) Jane Halliday: Can't edit account or change password. Can't delete it. Why is this an extension? Makes no sense.
• (2021-02-20) No Amazon April: So cool. This is the closest online experience I've had to store hopping in my city's trendier neighborhoods.
• (2021-01-18) Amber Tran: Doesn't work :(
• (2020-12-25) Josh Greenblatt: Love it. Super easy way to shop locally.
• (2020-12-23) Ben Jacques: Actually this is a really easy and helpful way to shop small businesses. Good stuff.
• (2020-12-23) Akili Sylvester: Great app! It helps local business get visibility and helps me buy cool stuff that I'd normally would have missed. Definitely would recommend.
• (2020-12-21) Richard Hunslet: This app doesn't work. Nothing shows up, making it useless.
• (2020-12-10) Eddy Torres: This extension has immense potential to help small local businesses. It's clearly still a work in progress, but I hope more and more people choose to install it and contribute to it so that it becomes convenient and useful for larger swaths of people in more places.
• (2020-12-01) Daniel Mautz: 1. Search defaults to 3 miles, so nothing shows up until I change distance. 2. Search window is so small that it isn't useful to browse and isn't re-sizable. 3. Search window shows scroll bars, but they don't work, I have to be very careful to click the small area between products and then use the space-bar to scroll. I agree with an earlier comment that a companion website would be a better way to browse products. I understand there are features that can only be accomplished through an extension, but forcing all search into a less-than-ideal user interface is just making users exit the app when they want to shop.
• (2020-09-14) Matt Dorion: The best! Genius! Makes my life so much easier!
• (2020-09-09) Christian Thomason: Glad to have access to local biz! I enjoy supporting local small biz rather than Amazon!
• (2020-09-02) Emma McKay: Brilliant idea, I wish more local businesses would get on board!
• (2020-09-02) chris zacchia: Great tool to shop local and support your community merchants! Helped me discover new awesome things close to home :)

• (2020-09-02) Daniel Smith: Love it!
• (2020-09-01) Sober Life: Bought some face masks from a boutique 3 miles away from me. Was going to use Amazon, but this turned out to be just as easy. Good stuff!
• (2020-09-01) Frances O.: I haven't seen small businesses this excited for anything in a long time.
• (2020-08-29) Kelly Brophy: Where has this been all my life?! This is an incredible way to bring local small businesses to one place! Download Sook now. You won't be disappointed.
• (2020-08-28) chris peloquin: I am really excited to be able to have this option when I'm shopping. I'm telling everyone I know about it!
• (2020-08-27) Radu Sragar: What a great tool to find deals and help out local shops. I only wish more store owners in my area would signup...
• (2020-08-27) Jihane E: I was able to save while supporting local shops/businesses. Overall a win-win situation, I highly recommend it!
• (2020-08-26) Yury Bushev: Sook is extremely helpful at finding the best deals. I have used it time and time again to automatically search for local shops and offers or give suggestions on lower priced items being available at the next door.
• (2020-08-26) Chris Aung-Thwin: At the start of the pandemic I really wanted to support local business and not just order from the big online companies... but I found it hard finding everything that I was looking for. I'm really happy that this has come out so that I can keep more of my purchases local. Hopefully, I'll be able to start using it for more and more of my shopping.
• (2020-08-25) Ariel Levesque: Genius! Can't wait till more stores are added all over.
• (2020-08-24) Victoria S: Not a convenient way to actually shop the small business's store. Would work better as a website. This extension is just a tiny shopping window with no active functionality other than adding things to the app's cart. Also, there's no links directly to the store I'm viewing. Isn't the point to promote the small business?
• (2020-08-20) Joshua Nussbaum: This made it a lot easier to find products I can buy right in my local neighborhood. Love it.
• (2020-08-19) Jonathan Sandals: This is the best thing to happen to small business in 20 years.
