45 minutes of scrolling and still nothing to watch. Your mates already found it. ratemate: ratings from people you actually know. That resto everyone's posting about — is it really a 4.7? And your closest mates: do you actually know what they'd call Trash? Rate movies, shows, restaurants, cafes, places, hotels, products, books, and even moments, then see what your mates loved (or trashed). No anonymous star ratings, no strangers' opinions. Trust your circle, not the crowd! RATE ANYTHING Leave your mark. Slide the bar from Trash to Banger, ratemate's signature four-tier scale. Add photos and a comment to tell the story behind your rating. If something isn't in any catalog, capture it as a Moment and rate it anyway. A FEED YOU CAN TRUST No algorithm, just mates. Your home feed is built from your mates' latest ratings. Comment on their takes, save what you want to try, and share finds directly with friends. MEET MATE, YOUR AI SIDEKICK Can't decide what to watch, read, or where to eat? Or curious about what your friends have been loving lately? Ask Mate. It blends your friends' ratings, what's popular around you, and a rich catalog of places and media to suggest things you'll like. Try "Italian restaurants my mates loved" or "something fun to watch tonight." DISCOVER WHAT'S NEARBY Open the map to explore restaurants, cafes and spots around you, and see how your mates rated them before you go. VERSUS: LET YOUR MATES DECIDE Torn between two options? Start a Versus poll and let your mates vote. No peeking though: results stay hidden until you cast your own vote, so pick a side first.

CHAT WITH YOUR MATES Talk it over in direct messages, share ratings and items in chat, and plan what to try next together, whether it's a date night or a movie marathon.
