What's New in Cheqmate.

1.3.0

November 4, 2026

You can now ask the room. Tap any live spot on the map, watch it in real photo and video, and comment to ask the people there — "how long's the line?" "free tables?" Plus: video cheq-ins, a new Explore grid, "Friends out," and a faster camera. Stop texting five group chats — see where the night's going.

Map overlaid with friends’ reviews makes going out in a new city much easier, curated, and ultimately a better time!

Nice Guide for NY

My friends and I walked the length of Manhattan tip to tip. Cheqmate was a great resource to plan our stops along the way.

Best going out App

I discovered so many new restaurants using this app. Every time i cheq-in at least one friend comes to join me. Its the best app for going out

Great Idea

I’m telling everyone I know to get this app, it makes everything easier when dining out and the social element of it is fun too!! I care more about what my friends think about restaurants than random people online
