My wife and I have a constant struggle with picking where we want to go to eat at. Its always, you pick, followed by, nah, I don't want that, or pick somewhere else. So I built an app where both of us whip out our phones and get to swipe restaurants tinder style until there's a match.
It's a simple concept. You create a lobby, which pulls in restaurants near you, invite some friends/lovers (or continue solo on your lunch break at work) and start your swiping. It adds a fun little gamification to the process of picking where to eat.
The menu opens in the app itself so you never leave and lose your place in swiping if you want to find out more about the restaurant before saying yes or no.
Didnt get a match? The app shows all yes votes on the end screen so you can see who voted for what and make a compromise.
There are some tips and first time use, and notes to help new users set up their name, create a lobby, and get to swiping.
There are a few features gated behind a one time 1.99 paywall, but the app itself is fully functional (and without ads) without paying a single cent.
Paid Features:
Alternate Match Mode: You can now choose between first match (classic, first swipe yes match wins), or the Show All mode where you get to see all the yes votes at the end. You can then choose from them, or re-swipe with just the ones from the yes votes.
Search Around: You can specify a location, or POI and use that as the central search point instead of your current location. Great for people who want to meet in the middle of two locations for a meal.
Cuisine Type: While you see these on the card in the free version, you can filter by them on the paid version. These have been refined to pull in those cuisines based on their google descriptions.
Additional Avatars: I mean come on, who doesn't want to be the cute penguin or the dinosaur

Tried it with my roommates last night and we actually picked a place in under five minutes, which is unheard of for us. The no ads thing is huge too.

the no ads promise alone is a breath of fresh air, but i really love how the swipe mechanic turns a usually frustrating group decision into something that actually feels fun instead of chaotic

Love the no-ads angle and the swipe mechanic sounds genuinely fun for groups. One thing that would make it stick for me is a "dietary override" option, like if one person has a severe allergy or is vegetarian, the app could automatically filter out places that don't fit so we're not swiping on stuff that's a hard no. Would save time and avoid the awkward veto mid-swipe session.

honestly this looks fun, the no ads thing is a nice touch. one thing that would help me though is a filter for dietary stuff like vegan or gluten free right in the swipe deck, so i don't have to wade through places i literally can't eat. would save a lot of right swipes
