About this APK

Gluten Dude: GF Restaurants is an app by Scott Hayes in the Travel & Local category, listed since at least December 2024. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.

It asks for 41 permissions, 6 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. Compared with version 3.1.9, it drops 2 permissions: “Physical activity recognition” and “Read Google service settings”. The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

What's new in v3.2.2

Fixed a location issue with specific Pixel phones. Plus a few subtle improvements to keep the app running smooth.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

EATING OUT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD. If you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, you've probably done this before. You find a restaurant that looks promising. Then the work begins. You read reviews. You search Facebook groups. You look at crowdsourced apps. You study the menu. You call the restaurant. You hope the person on the phone actually understands what you're asking. Maybe you feel better. Maybe you don't. Either way, you're still left making one of the most important decisions of your day with incomplete information. That's the part I wanted to fix. EVERY RESTAURANT EARNS ITS PLACE. All restaurants start with someone in the gluten-free community who had a safe experience and told us about it. Then our team gets to work. First, we research the restaurant — looking into their gluten-free practices and reputation before we ever reach out. Then we vet it directly. We contact the restaurant and ask the questions that matter. How do they prevent cross-contact? Is there a dedicated fryer? Does the staff understand celiac disease? Then we write everything up in plain English, so you know what to expect before you ever walk through the door. Community starting points. Independent research. Complete transparency. WHY I BUILT GLUTEN DUDE. I've had celiac disease since 2007. Like you, I've spent way too much time trying to figure out where it was actually safe to eat. I've been glutened by restaurants that sounded confident. I've asked all the awkward questions. After years of doing the same research over and over, I had one thought: Why isn't someone doing this for us? So I built the app I wished I'd had. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. Every restaurant is clearly labeled, so there's never any guessing about what you're getting. • 100% Gluten-Free Dedicated gluten-free restaurants. • Dude Vetted Personally researched by our team, complete with detailed notes about cross-contact procedures, kitchen practices, dedicated fryers, and staff knowledge. • User Suggested Restaurants we've researched but couldn't fully verify directly, backed by positive experiences from our community. • Trusted Chains Chain restaurants our community consistently trusts. No mystery ratings. No hidden scoring. Just complete transparency. BUILT FOR LIFE WITH CELIAC. Gluten Dude is more than a gluten-free restaurant finder. It's a travel companion. • Trip Planner Find trusted restaurants along your exact driving route. • Airport Dining Browse gluten-free options in more than 100 airports, organized by terminal. • Destination Planning Know your safest dining options before you leave home. Because the best trips are the ones where you spend your time making memories, not searching for your next meal. NO PAY-TO-PLAY. Restaurants can't pay to be featured. No ads influencing what you see. Every restaurant is here because it earned its place. Because trust is everything. SAVE MONEY. Living gluten-free is expensive enough. Gluten Dude members get exclusive discounts on hundreds of gluten-free products to help make it a little easier. TRUSTED BY THOUSANDS. "Your approach is far superior to other apps in terms of safety. Your app is desperately needed." - Sandy "Nothing else I've seen has the breadth of up-to-date, peace-of-mind info on where to safely go." - GF Seeker "I feel much more confident using your app vs. any other. How diligent you are is what separates you from the rest." - Laura "I won't use any other app besides yours - because safety first!" - Kelly "Love the app when I was planning a road trip! So nice being able to see different routes with GF options!" - Kristen FROM SOMEONE WHO GETS IT... I know what it's like to stand outside a restaurant wondering if you're making the right decision. I know what it's like to be tired of second-guessing every meal. That's why Gluten Dude exists. Not to tell you where to eat. To help you feel confident about where you choose to eat.
