Won a give away for free festival tickets
Couldn’t believe it, I never win those types of things
Very buggy
Doesn't let me create an account. Fix that.
Best App in Chicago
I don’t know how I would leave my house without Empo. They always have the best deals, best restaurants, and best ideas for a night out.
Filters
What happened to the ability to filter on neighborhoods? I tried searching for River North and nothing came up!??!? Also, the continue as guest button just brings you to a log-in screen.
Changing how I experience the city
Showed me new places, events, and activities I’ve never seen, highly recommend
Meh
Oh darn! I was looking forward to this. There are not enough neighborhoods on the list & its not easy to use
Amazing for Date night ideas
Love this app, my girlfriend and I have been finding such great spots and specials for date night! Also love the map & for you feed, so useful
This is not at all inclusive
Most things on this app are up North and all around the same area. This app does not have anything south of the loop. The fact that over half of Chicago is simply being overlooked is ridiculous.
Great discovery tool
Used countless times to find new things around me, helps me discover my city more than ever before
Great Happy Hour finder
Great app for finding deals and what is going on around you. I’ve been searching for something like this for years.
Empo is the best!
I love this app! Great for finding fun things near by! It’s also awesome to see what specials are going on to save a buck or two!!
Super easy to use and helpful for finding nearby Chicago places
My favorite feature is how it shows you the lunch/dinner/happy hour specials closest to you. Saving so much money!
The_best
It is the best for finding good places and restaurants
Download this app
EMPO is the best! Keeps me in touch with what’s going on around my city. Thanks to EMPO, my social life is thriving. And the deals are a lifesaver!
