TUSK Search
How do I search for local businesses with TUSK Search?
You simply type what you're looking for, like 'pharmacy' or 'garden center,' into the search box, and the app returns a list of results. However, the data is often outdated, so you may find that many listed businesses are closed or no longer at that location.
What is the 'Local Specials' feature in TUSK Search?
The 'Local Specials' button is supposed to show you deals near you, but tapping it just redirects you to a third-party website full of pop-ups. It doesn't work as a real feature within the app itself.
Why does TUSK Search show businesses that are closed or have wrong phone numbers?
The app relies on an outdated database that hasn't been updated in years, so it lists stores and restaurants that have closed or changed contact info. For example, searching for a fabric store might lead you to an empty storefront, and calling a listed restaurant could connect you to a private residence.
How can I fix the issue of getting stuck when trying to go back after viewing a business detail?
Unfortunately, there's no built-in fix for this clunky navigation problem. The app doesn't have a smooth back button, so you may need to force-close the app and reopen it to return to your search results.
How does TUSK Search compare to Google Maps for finding local businesses?
Google Maps is far more reliable because it updates business hours, locations, and contact info regularly, and it includes user reviews that are current. TUSK Search, on the other hand, gives you outdated listings and a frustrating experience, making Google Maps a much better choice for finding accurate local info.
