You email your friends, family, colleagues. Rip pages out of travel magazines. Bookmark blog posts. Dog-ear travel guides. Wade through strangers’ reviews (and try to decipher what 3.6 stars really means). Create and collate spreadsheets. This is how most of us decide where to go — what’s best and worth our time — whether around our own city or when planning a trip.
Today, we’re proud to announce the public launch of Spot. It’s a product designed to answer the question: “Where should I go?”
Spot is a simple, visual, and intuitive way to find the best places for you. It’s practical and inspirational, a trusted tool and a way to explore. With Spot you can discover, save, and share great places in your city and around the world much like you do in real life: pulling from in-the-know friends, jetsetting experts, and the kind of tastemakers who are into the same things you are, whether dive bars or design shops.
You can use Spot to find a great cup of coffee nearby. You can use it to plan a weekend getaway. You can use it to start researching an adventure on the other side of the world. And everything — friends’ recommendations, expert reviews, immersive photos — is captured in one easily accessible place.
Spot also allows you to make (and share) beautiful lists of places you love or want to try, guides to your hometown or favorite city abroad, and notes for that trip you’re planning. Whether you’re creating a list of your city’s best restaurants for a new-to-town friend, or you’re a blogger sharing stories about a recent trip with a wider audience, Spot makes it easy and fun.
We’re so excited for you to see what we’ve been working on. And, really, we’re just getting started. Get the brand-new Spot in the App Store now. #findyourspot
