Can't Decide What to Eat? Ask Whateatver. Whateatver is an app for building your personal food ranking and using a dice roll to decide where to eat today. From rating and the random picker to cross-platform import, real-time collaboration, and cloud backup — it settles "what's for dinner" once and for all. 1. Build Your Food Ranking Rank every restaurant on your own terms — tier names, order, and colors are all customizable. When you create a new list, pick a starter template too: the classic S/A/B/C/D/E, or a "To-try / Conquered" check-in style. Create separate lists for lunch, late-night snacks, or date night and switch between them instantly. 2. Let the Dice Decide Indecision ends here. Tap the dice and the app instantly picks a restaurant from your list. Filter by tier, tag, price, or distance, or check "Exclude recently visited" to keep things fresh. 3. One-Tap Share Import from Any App Spot a restaurant on Google Maps, Instagram, Threads, X, Bluesky, Tabelog, or Naver? Just hit Share → Whateatver. The app automatically identifies the name, address, and location — no manual entry needed. You can also bulk-import Google Maps lists and saved places. 4. Live Opening Hours Add a restaurant's weekly hours and the app shows a live "Open / On break / Closed / Closed today" status right on the card based on the current time — so you know before you head out. 5. Google Maps Integration & Map View Tap any place on the map when adding a restaurant — name, address, and map link fill in automatically. Switch to map view to see all your restaurants at a glance, filter by tier or tag, sort by distance, and tap any card to navigate. 6. Collaborative Lists Create a shared list and invite friends via link or QR to edit together in real time. Everyone's adds, ratings, and ordering sync instantly — build a shared food map together. (Whateatver Pro) 7. Cloud Backup Sign in with Apple or Google to back up all your lists to the cloud. Restore them easily on a new phone or after reinstalling, with both manual and automatic backup. (Whateatver Pro) 8. Record Every Visit Mark a restaurant as eaten, then write a dining note on the spot. Every restaurant has its own visit timeline so you can look back months later. 9. Share Lists & Official Picks Generate a QR code and let friends scan to import your full list — names, map links, notes, and tags all included. Or watch a short ad to permanently unlock curated lists like "Top 10 Ramen" and expand your food map. 10. Offline by Default, Privacy First Core features work fully offline — data is stored locally on your device with no account required. Data is only uploaded when you choose to use cloud backup or collaboration. 11. About Whateatver Pro Subscription Whateatver Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription.
