## What is Dinelist?

Stop scrolling, start eating. Dinelist turns "where should we eat?" into a two-minute decision, alone or with friends.

SWIPE TO DECIDE
Real places in your city, one full photo at a time. Swipe right on what looks good, left on what doesn't, and tap the star to keep a place for later. Every swipe teaches Dinelist your taste, so the next card is a better guess. Undo a swipe in one tap, and mark places you've already been.

SAVE SPOTS FROM TIKTOK AND INSTAGRAM
Saw a great restaurant in a video? Share the post to Dinelist. We read it, find the places it mentions and save them to your Want to try list, without leaving the app you're in.

PICK A PLACE WITH FRIENDS
Start a session, send the link, and everyone swipes on the same places. The moment you all like one, it's a match. Friends without the app can join from their browser.

ASK FOR ANYTHING
Type it the way you'd say it: "quiet dinner for two", "brunch with outdoor seating", "spicy food near me". Dinelist finds the places that fit and tells you why.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Every place page shows what to order, what it's known for, who it's good for and the vibe, drawn from what diners actually say. Call, get directions or check the hours in one tap. Scan a menu and get the dishes worth ordering.

LISTS THAT FILL THEMSELVES
Want to try, Liked and Been build themselves from your swipes and visits. Make your own dinelists for date night, birthday dinners or visitors in town, give each one its city, and share them or keep them private.

MORE
- Rate your visits and remember what you'd order again
- Follow friends and food lovers, and save their lists
- Split the bill: scan a receipt and see who had what

### 5/5 — Great choices

*2025-12-28*

When using Dinelist I find that they filter out and find tailored suggestions with ease . I would definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Used this to plan a surprise date

*2025-12-26*

I did a date night session, and I got really good recommendations. When we both swiped independently, we ended up matching in about 8-10 minutes. I was able to pick out a night to surprise her for dinner.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.3.1 — 2026-11-06

Save spots from TikTok and Instagram
Share a food post to Dinelist and we find the places in it and save them to your Want to try list, right from the share sheet.

A deck that keeps going
Swipe as long as you like. The deck refills itself and only stops you for something worth it, like three likes to keep together.

Lists for every city
Give each dinelist its city, and adding places searches there, even when you're somewhere else.

Also new
Sharper photos, an About card on every place with what to order and the vibe, a celebration at the end of Ask, Suggest an update for places that have changed, and notifications that only ask once you've found something you like.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-11-02

A new look, built around the way you actually pick a place.

The deck, redrawn
Full-bleed photos, Nope, Like and Save spelled out, and the reason a place is in front of you on the card. Swipe in hands of ten, then take a breather: what you leaned towards, and one thing to do next. Swipe up on a card to open the place.

Undo and Been here
Took back a swipe? One tap. Already been? Tap Been here on the card and tell us whether you'd go back. It lands in your Been list; rate it later from History.

Liked, Want to try, Been
Three lists that fill themselves: the places you liked, the places you mean to go, the places you've been. Save on a place is one tap into Want to try.

Keep these together
Like three places in a row and we offer to keep them as a dinelist. Swipe right to save it, left to pass.

Signing in, simplified
Continue with Apple, Google or email. Resend codes that work, a password reset that works when you're signed out, and a shorter intro you can skip.

Everywhere else
One quiet design across the whole app: the place page, Explore, Ask, your dinelists, Swipe Together, Split the tab, menus, Bites, your profile and settings. Clearer empty and error states, and no more dead ends.

Also: Terms and Privacy you can read in the app, delete your account from Settings, and a Log out that asks first.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-11-02

A big update, built around deciding where to eat, together.

Swipe Together, rebuilt
Invite friends with one link (they can join from their browser), watch who liked what as it happens, and settle a tie with a one-tap vote on the top three.

Ask for anything
Say what you want in your own words. Get a list of matches you can filter, follow up on, and swipe.

Scan the menu
Snap a menu and see what to order, from what your friends loved and what people like you rated well. Plan tonight's table.

Been here
Rate a visit Loved it, Good or Not for me, with the dishes you had, a private note and who came. Places you ticked when you joined are one tap away from a verdict.

Your lists
Save a place with a note. Want to try and Been fill themselves. Turn any dinelist into a ranking.

Split the tab
Split equally in one step, bring in tonight's group, mark who has paid and share who owes what.

Bites, status and cities
A monthly allowance of Bites for asks, menu scans and insights, earned by sharing what you know. See your dining status, badges and the friends league, and unlock or open cities.

Also new: a fresh start for new accounts, the foods you don't eat kept out of your deck, your Dinesurf history brought in as visits, and a cleaner, solid look throughout.
