Places: Curated Travel Guide

I actually use this app everyday. You need to find a cool place to eat? Something exciting to do? Want to find some culture in a new place? Or looking for a last minute reservation? This is the place to find it. Everything on the app is curated and recommended by professionals, you will only have good experiences at the places it recommends. You can also see where your friends go, save places you look or want to go, and create a digital archive of all the places you go on life’s journey!

A thoughtful and promising concept – immediately undone when my attempt to tap into the phone number box failed 🙃 My five stars are dedicated either to the (a) IT folks, if this is a bug, as a token of appreciation in advance for their prompt attention, or (b) creators, if this is a feature, for brilliance in ensuring even basic UI reflects the cohesive canon of discernment required of the Service,‡ including Raya,† to curate not only a “collection of global destinations” but also membership in the community with privileged access to that collection. ‡ As defined in this app’s Terms of Use as currently in effect, subject to which †Raya, ”another mobile application included in the Service,” is provided. Who says the App Store isn’t flexible? ❤️

Seems to be a bougie version of yelp. Personalized recommendations are great and all but it needs something else special to keep me on the app. I agree where it should have a feature like neon coat or beauty pass to incentivize people to try certain businesses. Also because it’s connected to Raya - would love to see a social dating aspect to this like if certain places hosted happy hours and then people could go specifically to meet with other app users or have meetups with their dates there.
