Every so often, one finds it hard to recall a specific place they visited and the associated experience. It was one such time that led to the origin of the PlaceRack app; a convenient way to capture, catalog, recall and recommend. PlaceRack is an app to remember. It allows you to capture a memorable event, a dining experience or anything worth noting. You can add images, audio or text to your capture session. At a later time, you easily recall this event by performing a simple search and scrolling a list of possible choices. You can share any of your experiences with friends, and on social media; also you can receive recommendations from your friends. At the capture session, the app provides Yelp scores and recommendations from your friends.
