This is an app that helps the users visually decide which restaurant to go to. At the moment the app has the basic functionality to reject or save a restaurant to a favorites list. You get to see one restaurant at a time. Each restaurant is presented as a carousel of pictures that you can navigate bij pressing on the left or the right half of the picture. Ideally the app would also have a function to set your preferences and filter the restaurants based on location or diet. But unfortunately that’s a bit complicated at the moment.
As mentioned before, the app only has only the functionality switch between restaurants and save your favorites in a separate list.
