BeenAround

Recommendations from people you trust, not just reviews

BeenAround is a trust-based social discovery app that replaces anonymous reviews with authentic recommendations from friends. Traditional review platforms are cluttered with strangers' opinions, fake ratings, and paid placements, with no simple way to filter results based on people you actually trust.

Users log the places they visit, rate and share their experiences, and discover recommendations from people in their network. The app tracks your digital passport—a visual record of everywhere you've traveled—and lets you see where your friends have been and what they thought. The advantage is authentic recommendations from real people you know, not algorithms or anonymous strangers.
