## What is forkIt (Restaurant Finder)?

Can't decide where to eat? Swipe on it.

forkIt shows you restaurants nearby one at a time. Swipe right on the ones that sound good, left on the ones that don't, and pick a place in minutes instead of scrolling through endless lists.

DECIDE TOGETHER
Start a group and everyone swipes on the same restaurants. The moment you all like the same place, it's a match. No more "I don't care, you pick." Share an invite link, or invite friends right from the app, and see who's in and what's leading, live. Planning ahead? Set a time and forkIt only shows places that will be open then.

FIND FOOD ON THE ROAD
Pick where you're headed and forkIt finds restaurants along your drive, timed to when you'll pass them. Choose "next 30 min", "1–1.5 h" or further ahead, and only see places that will be open when you get there.

ROAD TRIP GROUPS
Everyone in the car can swipe together on restaurants along the route. Whoever's driving taps "I'm driving" and sits out the vote. When the group agrees, the driver gets a notification that opens directions straight to the restaurant, so nobody has to touch the driver's phone.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
See at a glance which places are open, closing soon or opening soon, plus today's hours, ratings, price and distance. Tap through photos for the address, phone number, website and reviews.

FROM "YES" TO DINNER
When you find the one, choose Eat In, Takeout or Delivery and forkIt takes you to reservations, online ordering or directions in one tap.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.37 — 2026-10-06

Road trips just got easier.

• On the way: Pick where you're headed and forkIt finds restaurants along your drive, timed to when you'll pass them. Choose "next 30 min", "1–1.5 h" and more, and we'll only show places that will be open when you get there.

• Road trip groups: Everyone in the car can swipe together on restaurants along the route. Whoever's driving taps "I'm driving" and sits out the vote. When the group agrees, the driver gets a notification that opens directions straight to the restaurant, so no one has to touch the driver's phone.

• Know before you go: Restaurants now show "Closes soon" or "Opens soon", so you can time your visit. "Open now" also includes places opening within the hour.

Fixes and improvements
• Opening hours are more accurate, and 24-hour places now show as open around the clock.
• Searching for a cuisine like "Italian" now shows only nearby Italian restaurants.
• A smoother start: the app opens straight to your first restaurants, without a second loading screen.
• Faster, more reliable searches and photos when lots of people are using forkIt.

### 1.0.30 — 2026-09-27

- Just me, or with friends? forkIt now asks when you open it, so you can jump straight into solo swiping or start a group.
- Optional accounts. Sign in with Apple, Google or email to add friends and get back into your groups on any device. Don't want one? Everything still works without it.
- Friends and saved groups. Invite friends straight into a group without sharing a link, and save your usual crew to invite them all in one tap.
- Notifications. Find out when a friend invites you, and the moment everyone in your group agrees on a place.
- Plan for later. Schedule a group up to four weeks ahead. forkIt only shows places that will be open then, and reminds you when it's time.
- A deck that learns your taste. Places you're likely to love show up sooner, and places you've been recently move further back. You can see and clear this anytime from your account.
- Fairer group decks. When your group is spread out, the restaurants center on everyone, not just whoever started.
- Livelier groups: see friends' swipes as they happen, a bigger moment when you match, and invite more people mid-session.
- Fixed: friends who join from a link in their browser now have their swipes counted.

### 1.0.20 — 2026-09-24

- See who's in before you even swipe — matching avatars now show up right on each card as your group weighs in.
- New: The Table. Check in anytime to see who's still deciding and which spot is currently in the lead.
- Invite friends with one tap. Share a link and they can jump straight into your session — no app download required to get started.

### 1.0.19 — 2026-09-22

Fixed a bug where restaurant photos could stop loading partway through a longer session, and expanded restaurant search coverage in Korea.

### 1.0.18 — 2026-09-19

Live outside the city or just want to cast a wider net? You can now search up to 10 miles away instead of 3.
