## What is The Spoke?

The Spoke is an app where real recommendations help the people causes and brands you care about. 

- Recommend movies, shows, restaurants, and bars through lists and ratings. 
- When friends ask for suggestions, invite them to The Spoke with your Magic Link. 
- Their search results will be your favorites with links to streaming and delivery services. 

Earn Impact Points (the social currency of The Spoke) when friends benefit from your advice, ranking up product leaderboards, and winning rewards from brands you love.

33% of all search queries are for recommendations, but we end up texting or emailing friends because we don’t know who or what to trust. We're introducing identity, transparency, and social capital to solve the problem by creating an accountable, authentic, home for recommendations.

### 5/5 — Saving time and relationships

*2021-01-20, version 1.1.3*

This app is great. It’s saved my relationship with my partner after hours of going through the streamers trying to find the right show. Now we agree on something within 5 minutes of opening up the spoke, rather than wasting 30 minutes to only put on a rerun of a baking show.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver (time saver)

*2021-01-14, version 1.1.3*

Okay so I absolutely love this app. I used to waste so much time trying to find a tv show to watch and then figuring out how to watch it but this has completely removed that issue. I just pop on the app and filter, bonus that I can see how my friends rated the show. On that note, the restaurant function is so great. I hate going onto Yelp or google for restaurant reviews where half of the reviews are spam or are talking about how hard it is to get into a restaurant instead of actually reviewing it. It’s so easy to just see what my friends/family think of it via the spoke. The sync feature is actually the best! I surprised my bf with a birthday dinner to a place that had been on his list of places he wanted to try, and he was so stoked. Definitely recommend, you need (!!!) to download.

### 5/5 — Perfect for recommendations

Great way to track and share my favorite spots / shows and see what my friends (instead of the masses) are really into

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for...

*2019-10-07, version 1.1.2*

This is the best app I’ve found for finding shows to watch. The “Sync” button is awesome too.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-10-07, version 1.1.2*

Very useful if you love to travel, love to eat, and love to watch tv and movies- aka everybody! Connect with friends and strangers alike, at restaurants in new cities, or on Netflix from the comfort of your couch. Must-have app!
