Read full description

Babes Ratings is a personal rating app for the things you actually care about. Build lists for whatever you obsess over (bagels, pretzels, pizza, record stores, anything) and score every place out of 10. When you want to go back to that bagel shop in Brooklyn or that diner in Detroit, you'll know exactly where it is and what you thought. Pair with one person. Invite your partner by email or invite code. You'll each see the other's lists in a tab built just for them, but you each keep your own rankings. Invite friends to peek. Add as many friends as you want; they see your lists, you see theirs. See it all on a map. The Nearby view shows everything you've rated wherever you are. Personal. Quiet. No ads, no algorithm. Just you and your friends rating things.
