What's New in Spotlist

1.4.1

August 26, 2026

Our biggest update yet — discover new spots and talk about them with friends, not just save them. COMMENT & SHARE WITH FRIENDS - Comment on your friends' lists and check-ins, reply in the thread, and @mention people to pull them in. - Share any list or spot straight to a friend inside the app, with a note — it lands right in their feed. YOUR PHOTOS, ON THE SPOT - Check in or add a spot and Spotlist finds the photos you already took there and offers them up — no scrolling your camera roll to hunt them down. - Filling in a list? "Find photos for this list" turns up matches across all your spots at once. - Private by design: matching happens entirely on your device — nothing leaves your phone unless you attach a photo. LAND SOMEWHERE NEW? WE'VE GOT YOU. - Arrive in a new city and Spotlist welcomes you with spots and lists worth your time — pulled from the people you follow, rounded out with the best of that city. No searching required. - Prefer to browse ahead? Search any city and find lists of great places to eat there. WANT TO GO, REIMAGINED - Your Want to Go list is now organized by city and region — genuinely useful when you're planning a trip. FASTER AND MORE RELIABLE - A big performance pass on maps — smooth panning and zooming, even with lots of pins. - A rare scrolling freeze is fixed, and check-ins now post instantly while photos upload in the background. - Flag permanently-closed spots, and save places beyond restaurants like hotels and shops. Thanks for being here. Keep the recommendations coming.

Real recommendations from real people

Been using spotlist for a bit now and it’s one of the easiest food apps I’ve tried. Love that it’s focused on curation rather than reviews from random people. Already found some great spots through the app

Imported 80 restaurants in 10s

Copy and pasted my messy Google doc with 80 Seattle restaurant recommendations and it imported in about 10 seconds. Kept all my notes, and mapped every place. Shared the link with my friends. So easy!
