## What is SURF?

Surf is the easiest way to store and organize lists of your favorite things. Surf also allows you to search 'favorites' from your connections and from others. Anybody can easily use Surf to find great things.

How To Use Surf:
- Create posts of the things you love (all of your favs)
- Organize those posts in boards
- Share your favorites with friends
- Search your friends favs
- Save the things you want to remember for later
- Plan with help from recommendations you can trust

Surf is a social search engine where you can store your favorite recommendations and easily recall them in the future or share with people asking, "What is your favorite... Fill in the blank?"

Surf is not big on 'star-rating reviews'. On surf we encourage good vibes. If you like something or possibly even love it, post about it so others can know. Surf's goal is to cut through the noise and give you the information you want to know... recommendations from people you trust.

## Key features

- Create posts of favorite items

### 2/5 — Great concept, extremely glitchy and unuseable

*2024-01-04*

Used the app for a few months to save lists of my favorite restaurants/foods/cities/artists/etc. After about 2 months i couldn’t add any more entries because the app would glitch every time i typed. After 3 months it erased all my data so that my lists disappeared and i had no entries associated to my account.

### 5/5 — Waaaaaaay more Useful than I Thought

*2021-09-30, version 0.2.8 (44)*

Thought it was a cool idea. Easy to use. Fresh. 

Now I have lists of the best taco places, playgrounds, kids lunches (with pics, map pins and a description of what I like) that I can update and share in like 2 seconds. 

My crazy dad life now has order. Didn’t realize how much I needed this.

**Developer response:** Hey atxdad, glad your chaos has found some order. Thanks for the review and keep sharing with others! Can't wait to eat me some Migas Ground Zero

### 5/5 — Useful and fun

*2021-07-26, version 1.0 (2)*

Why should you trust this review without knowing the reviewer? With SURF, you can see the ratings of everything from food, travel, to best baby wipes for your child.. All from the people you trust.

I highly recommend this app if you want insights from friends and family on products and services before buying them.
