## What is Laudo?

Tired of fake reviews and paid rankings? Laudo is where real recommendations come from people you actually know.

Laudo is an invite-only recommendation app built around your trusted friend network and communities. Instead of anonymous reviews from strangers, you get honest ratings from friends, classmates, and people whose taste you actually trust.

HOW IT WORKS

Rate and review local businesses across restaurants, bars, cafes, salons, fitness studios, and more.

Post an Ask when you need a recommendation. Looking for the best brunch spot? Need a new barber? Your community answers from real experience.

BUILT AROUND YOUR CIRCLE

Laudo is organized around communities, groups of people who share a real-world connection. What you see is shaped by who you know, not by how many strangers showed up.

FEATURES

Rate and review local businesses. Ask your communities for recommendations. Discover what's happening near you. Search nearby businesses with filters. Push notifications for friend requests, replies, and community activity.

Laudo is currently available by invitation only.

Your rating, and your circle's.
- Every place now shows two scores: what you rated it, and what your circle thinks. They answer different questions, so they each get their own space.
- The circle score tells you who it came from. One from a friend, two from community, so you know whose taste is behind the number.

Reviews from your people.
- The reviews on a place are the ones from your circle now. Your friends, your communities, and your own.

Places, wherever you are.
- Cities and streets read correctly anywhere in the world, not just close to home.

Plus bug fixes and polish throughout.
