Save restaurants directly from Apple Maps, Google Maps, Instagram, and Photos. Add pictures and personal notes about what you ordered, then mark what you would have again, what you want to try next, and what you would skip. When hunger strikes, discover restaurants you have already visited nearby and quickly find that great place whose name you forgot. Organize your collection with tags for pizza, pasta, coffee, burgers, bakeries, and more. You can also create your own tags and filter your restaurants whenever you are deciding where to go. Recommendations are more meaningful when they come from people you trust. Share restaurant and dish recommendations with the friends you choose, without publishing reviews for everyone to see.
