## What is Road Beans?

Road Beans is a journal for coffee and road stops. Write down where you stopped, what you drank, and how good it was, so next time you know where to pull off.

Log a stop
Save a coffee shop, truck stop, gas station, or fast food place, then add a visit. Name each drink, pick its type (drip, latte, cappuccino, cold brew, espresso, or tea), and rate it from 1 to 5 beans. Add tags like "patio" or "oat milk".

Find it again
Search your stops by name, drink, or tag, and filter by kind, rating, or date. The map shows every place you've rated. Turn on Near me to see what's around you, and open any stop in Apple Maps for directions.

Radar
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Radar uses your ratings to suggest nearby places you might like. It starts after three rated visits. The ranking runs on your iPhone, and Apple Maps is only used to find public places nearby.

Community
Joining is optional. Members share ratings and drink types, and each member gets a generated name, so there are no comments or typed names. You can like reviews, keep a list of favorite members, and report or block anyone. You can delete your community account from Community settings at any time.

iPhone Duo
Unfold an iPhone Duo and the list and the details sit side by side, split at the fold. Fold it back and you're still on the same stop.

Your journal syncs through your own iCloud account. There's nothing to sign up for.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-11-08

Road Beans now asks for your location when you open the app, so Near Me and Radar are ready to go. We also fixed a bug that could leave the map stuck while finding nearby stops. Adding photos to visits has been removed; photos you already added stay on your visits and can still be deleted.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-06

No release notes.
