It is a social networking app that focuses on food and restaurants, where users can connect and explore new tastes across the nation with the people around them. Where the users have the option to write reviews for themself, friends and family, or for everyone.
I came up with this idea because my friends and I love trying new cuisine and we keep a spreadsheet of all the places that we visited. I also realized that I am more likely to visit a restaurant if I saw my friends post about it on social media or they personally recommended it to me. Therefore, I want the app to be a place where people can share new or good food establishments that they have visited to their friends. Alternatively, users can see what trendy or new spots that their friends visited then discover new cuisines through that. I want users to get honest reviews from the people that they can trust.
