By Michael Yoder · Food and drinkWhy we expect it: Its clear three-score system, honest minimum-rating rule and privacy-first friends make this a promising, thoughtful take on restaurant ratings.
In short
Vibed: Restaurant Ratings lets people score restaurants, bars and cafes on Vibe, Food and Overall, each from -3.0 to +3.0, and share those ratings only with accepted friends. A Chart ranks nearby places by community averages once at least two people have rated them, with search and filters by category and radius. Its standout feature is the Overall score, which is a personal judgment rather than an average of the other two.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Vibed is a simple way to remember how a place really was, and to see how your friends felt about it too.
Every restaurant, bar and cafe gets three scores: Vibe, Food and Overall. Each one runs from -3.0 to +3.0 in tenths, so a 2.4 means something different from a 2.7. Drag a slider, watch the face change, and save. The Overall score is your own call, not a math average, because sometimes a great room makes up for an ordinary plate (and sometimes it doesn't).
YOUR RATINGS STAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS Your individual scores are visible only to you and the friends you accept. Friends are added by username and both people have to agree. Nobody else sees what you gave a place.
A CHART OF WHAT'S GOOD NEARBY The Chart ranks places around you by the community's average scores. A place only shows up once at least 2 people have rated it, so a single rating is never passed off as an average. Sort by Vibe, Food or Overall, filter by category (pizza, coffee, bars, Mexican, Asian, American, breakfast, dessert), and choose a 5, 10 or 25 mile radius. Planning a trip or would rather not share your location? Type a city and the chart redraws from there.
SEARCH FOR ANY SPOT Search finds restaurants, bars and cafes by name or by what you're craving, rated or not, powered by Apple Maps, and keeps the results to places to eat and drink.
EACH PLACE AT A GLANCE A place's page puts your own rating front and center, with the community averages once a place has enough ratings, the address with a map and directions, and how each of your friends scored it.
NOTES Add a note to any rating: the dish, the seat, the thing to know. Keep it to yourself or share it with your friends.
FRIENDS Send and accept friend requests, share your username, find people by any part of their name, see who your friends know, and tap a friend to see everything they've rated, newest first. Your friends list is visible to your friends unless you hide it in Settings.
SAFE AND IN YOUR CONTROL You can report or block anyone from wherever they appear in the app. Blocking ends the friendship and hides you from each other. You can delete your account and all of your ratings at any time from Settings.
