Not recommended, it’s pointless

You can do most of what this app does in Apple or Google maps. Apple Maps gives great guides and very private. Who knows what this app does with my data, it’s free so you are the product. Only difference is adding friends but Apple and Google maps has so much more data, reviews, guides and lists. Sorry but no point to this app. Just another app to have for nothing.

Response from developer

Hi there! We're sorry you don't find value in our product, but we're glad that you are satisfied with using Google or Apple Maps. We do want to be clear—we state very clearly in our Privacy Policy (https://north.industries/privacy) how we use your data. We never sell user data, and we use leading practices to protect and secure your data. We will, at some point, introduce premium features for North that users can optionally pay for, if they see value. This will be our revenue model—we will never monetize our user's data. We also invite you to try a few of our features that differentiate significantly from Google and Apple Maps. With North, you can overlay your friends pins on your map, or follow along in realtime as they add new places. Smart Lists also make it easy to build automatically-updating lists with places that meet your specified filters, meaning no more manual list management. And list filtering, collaboration, and publishing are far more powerful than on either Apple or Google Maps.

A dream!

As someone who was constantly Googling and Instagram searching the best spots for coffee or cocktails anytime I went to a new city—North takes all the hard work out of finding the best places, even in my own hometown! I no longer have to keep silly lists in my Notes app. I also love being able to collaborate and share with friends to get recommendations and keep track of where I’ve been. Massive round of applause!

North has been incredibly helpful in organizing my favorite spots. Love the collaborative lists for planning with friends. The app is easy to use and keeps everything in one place. Couldn’t ask for more!

Great for organizing my “Spots”

This app was definitely missing from my phone before! When friends visit town I used to send them long texts with restaurant and coffee shop recommendations- now I can share my spots on here. Plus, it’s great to have a location to gather all the restaurant recommendations I get that’s not just a note in my phone!

How did this not exist already?

This is a pretty simple idea that is executed incredibly well. The idea of having a “place for your places” where you can save and share all the spots that are important to you, places you want to try, ones you want to share with your friends… it almost seems like it would just be built into your phone already, but this is the first version of this concept I’ve come across that actually works well! This app does a great job of making everything simple and user-friendly. Love it!

The simplicity 👩🏼‍🍳💋

This is soooo much better than my previous system (my previous system was my own brain). I love that it's not public too; I just want to share my favorite spots with friends visiting town, I don't need everyone in the city to know.

North fills a major life void for this frequent adventurer

I travel a ton to cities large and small, and given the combo of my work and personal travel, I’m constantly wanting a way to document the best tips I get and the best experiences I have. I’ve tried everything — iPhone notes, google docs, heaps of yelp reviews as a minor history, but nothing brings together the wide range of features North gives me to chart my next adventure and document what I loved most about my last. I also love that the next time someone asks me what to do in Paris, I can simply share my list on North, and they’ll have immediate, highly usable insights. Beautiful design, insightful feature set. RAH!
