Seriosuly, can 1 person explain why my mom or dad would use this app? Doesn't seem like a real mass appeal thing.

Hi, I'm Kyle and I'm the Community Manager at Munchee. Let me take a stab at answering your question. Sorry for the long response in advanced.

With the Munchee App, we want to provide a service that allows its users to search for food/dishes easily. The Munchee app will focus on the food alone, taking bias restaurant reviews out of the picture. The Munchee app presents you with a scrollable feed of trending dishes from other users. If you are looking for a specific dish, i.e. steak, all you have to do is search for steak and it will provide photos of steak dishes from restaurants in the selected area (given that other users have posted reviews of steak related dishes in the area). Yes, everyone's taste is different which creates a bias in itself, but for the most part, when something taste bad, someone would let you know.

The reason for the Munchee App:
There are quite a few review based services out there that provide a lot of information, some necessary and some not so much. Most of the apps out today will present the user with a restaurant, the type of cuisine, price range and possibly a rating of the restaurant. After selecting a restaurant, it may present you with photos of dishes, reviews and other information. The downside to these services is that a lot of the reviews presented are affected by the reviewer's own personal experience (positive and negative). In short, a restaurant may have a 5 star dish, but because you see a 2 star review, it changes your perspective of the restaurant. In addition, some of the apps out there are also taxing when it comes to finding specific dishes you are looking for.

A personal example, a friend of mine went to a restaurant and became a regular patron (over time). On the most recent visit, he received bad service. They decided to write an extensive review and gave them 2 stars. However, he raved greatly on how well the dishes were despite the negative review. Because I saw that 2 star review (without reading the review itself), I grew hesitant to give the restaurant a try. But still curious, I, myself, went to that restaurant, did not have any problems with the service and yes, the food was great. I would've given them 4 or 5 stars after my experience.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

The app is available on the IOS platform right now. We are happy to take any feedback that will help us develop the app to better suit its users.

Kyle
