Eating out isn't only the moment you eat. The day you wanted to go. The day you actually went. Both are worth keeping. You're not keeping them to show anyone β€” you're keeping them to remember. That's why cRawl has no followers. The only people you're connected to are friends who accepted you back. Save places. Keep memories. Share discoveries. cRawl keeps all of it. SAVE / Places you want to try, all on one map Found it in your feed. Sent to you in a chat. Sitting in a map tab you never closed. Share the link to cRawl and it reads the name and the location for you, on your device, and drops a pin. A photo of a menu or a magazine page works the same way. No searching, no typing, no "I'll add it later." RECORD / Meals worth remembering, in photos and words Walk up to a place you saved and the camera is already open. Shoot, and the photo becomes that restaurant's log. Hold the shutter for a two-second loop. What you ate. How it felt. One line is enough. Rate it on price, vibe, taste, go again and access β€” and those five numbers stay private forever. Nobody else can see them, so you can be honest. SHARE / Your friends' favorites, your next great meal Finish a log and it goes to your friends' timeline on its own. There is no Post button to press. Only friends see it. There is no follower count to grow, and no way to end up recommended to strangers. When a friend's meal looks good, save the place to your own map right there. Days you'd rather keep to yourself can stay private β€” from the start, or later. AND MORE Match Lists / Find the places you both want to try Dining Insights / Look back on your meals and get to know your own taste Shared Lists / Bring your finds together and build a list with friends Board / This month's best, your hidden gem. Entries appear anonymously to other people Who it's for - The places you meant to try are scattered across four different apps - Someone asks "where should we eat?" and you go quiet - You trust three friends more than a 3.6-star average - You want the memory, not a review to write - You're done ordering food because it will look good in a feed Features - Import from social posts, map links and photos (read on your device) - Lists are private or open to your friends. Nothing is ever published to strangers - Photo logs, two-second video clips, five-axis ratings only you can see - Place tags (good solo, dog friendly, outlets, and more) - Stats on where you eat, and stat cards you can share as they are - A friends-only timeline, with comments and replies - A map of everywhere you've been - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that open the camera or a new log - Spotlight search, so your places come up from the Home Screen - Collaboration reward: build a list with a friend and you both get three months of Premium Save places. Keep memories. Share discoveries. Start by sending one post you saved to cRawl from the share sheet. cRawl Premium (auto-renewable subscription) Some features β€” dining insights, import volume, video clips, CSV export and others β€” require Premium.
