Save where you had a great time. Remember why you loved it. Discover the places recommended by people whose taste you actually trust — and carry them with you on the map.
Then this app is for you — to stop winging it and start eating where someone you trust has already eaten well.
The people whose taste you trust already save their favorites here. Follow them and keep their notebook open whenever you need it.
Their pins show up next to yours on the same map. That friend who travels a lot, that foodie sister, that cousin who lives there — all at once.
No anonymous star ratings, no paid rankings. Only the taste of the people who've been steering you right for years.
FavMaps isn't a review app full of strangers. It's your notebook of places, crossed with the notebooks of the people whose taste you trust.
Add places in two taps. Rating, price, photo and notes — everything optional except the name. No long forms.
Months later you search "steak" and there's that place you loved and had forgotten. Search inside your own notes.
Follow curators, city ambassadors and friends. See their places on the map next to yours, without the noise of anonymous opinions.
The map shows every place in your network — yours and those of the people you follow. Coral pins for your favorites, teal for friends'. Toggle between "Mine" and "Friends" with one tap.
Every time someone you follow adds a place or writes a note, it lands in your Feed. No algorithm — pure chronological order. Your own updates show up too.
Search with context: by name, category, address or inside the text of your network's notes. Results sorted by proximity to your location.
Original curators who seeded FavMaps with thousands of places, city ambassadors curating Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and more, plus food influencers. The most active ones are sorted by number of places shared.
All your places and wishlist in one tap. See how many you follow, who follows you. Change password, read the privacy policy, delete your account — all from Settings.
The full list of places you've added, with your notes and ratings. Sortable by recent, top rated or alphabetical. Search inside your own notes.
Designed for iPhone. Light and dark mode. No third-party libraries running in the background.
Search on the map or type the name. If it's not there, add it yourself with your phone's location — or use "Discover nearby" to see what's around.
Optional rating, optional price, optional photo. The only thing that matters: write it in your own words. "The rice is to die for" says more than five stars.
When someone you follow adds a place, it shows up on your map with a different pin. Filter by person, category or distance.
New city, weekend, getaway. Open FavMaps and see your places and the ones from your trusted circle — no sponsored spots in your face.
Many map apps live off selling what you do. FavMaps doesn't. Here's the honest list.
FavMaps launches with a base curated by chefs, travelers and foodies who've been recommending their favorites for years. Follow the "original curators" from Discover and their places show up on your map from second one.
Three kinds of people you can follow:
Yes. No premium, no trial, no ads. If we ever add anything paid it'll be an optional extra. The map, notes and social features are always free.
Today it's iOS 17+ only. Android is on the list but no date — it depends on the community growing.
Not yet. It's on the roadmap. Meanwhile you can add by hand or via "Discover nearby" (which uses Apple Maps).
Every place page has a "Has this closed?" link. Marking it removes it from the map. Plus every 3 months an automatic check runs to keep the database alive.
Yes. Your email, password and notes are still there. Log in with your old credentials. If you signed up with Facebook, tap "Forgot password" and you'll get a reset link by email.
