About

Aftertaste

You'll always remember that the restaurant was good. What you won't remember is which dish made it good — and by your next visit, months later, the detail is gone. So you re-order the same safe thing forever, or gamble on something new and regret it. Aftertaste is a private log of dishes, not restaurants. It's built around the one decision you'll face again and again: what should I order here? HOW IT WORKS • Snap the plate. One photo, mid-meal, before the food goes cold. • Give your verdict. Loved it, fine, or never again — a single tap. No five-star agonising. • Add a note to future you. "Ask for it extra peppery." "Too big to finish." "Skip the side." • Walk back in months later, and your own hits are waiting. You order from experience, not the menu photos. The restaurant is created for you automatically the first time you log a dish there — you never manage a list by hand. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • A grid of every plate you've ever logged — filter by loved, fine, or skip to see just the hits. • Each restaurant's page leads with "order again," so your favourites are the first thing you see. • A wish list for dishes you've heard about but not tried yet. Tap "Tried it" and it slides straight into your log. • A map of everywhere you've eaten, pinned by taste. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No feed. No strangers' star ratings. Every dish, photo, and note lives only on your phone — this is your own taste, and it never leaves the device. AFTERTASTE PRO Unlock trips (bundle a holiday's dishes into one shareable card), custom labels, and place covers with a single one-time purchase. No subscription. The core log is free, forever. Remember the dish, not just the restaurant.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GAIL's Bakery at none against Aftertaste's 1. GAIL's Bakery also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Aftertaste's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price there is nothing between them.
