Rate dishes, not restaurants. Devoured is the app for people who care about what's on the plate. Instead of a single star rating for a whole restaurant, Devoured lets you rate the individual dishes you love — the Sunday-morning eggs benedict, the one bowl of pho that changed your life, the perfect slice. TRACK EVERY DISH — Check in what you ate, snap a photo, rate it, leave a quick note. Ten seconds. Your food history builds automatically — a scrollable journal of every bite worth remembering. DISCOVER WHAT'S GOOD — Find restaurants near you on the map. Filter by cuisine, distance, or what's trending. See what your friends and the broader community are eating right now. 19 CUISINES, 1,700+ DISHES — A verified catalog across American, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Greek, Middle Eastern, French, Spanish, Filipino, Ethiopian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Peruvian, and Turkish. Miss something? Suggest it. EARN 99 BADGES — From "First Naan" to "Omakase Trust" to "Pitmaster" — every cuisine has its own set. SOCIAL WITHOUT THE NOISE — Follow friends and fellow food lovers. Your feed is the food — a 3-column grid of dishes. Leaderboards, global feed, QR profile sharing. PRIVACY FIRST — No ads. No data selling. No tracking. Sign in with Apple.
