A better way to discover new places to eat.
Use Gwak to get a curated list of restaurants from people you trust — no more aggregated reviews from strangers!
Tired of scrolling through the same Yelp search results?
These days, it feels like there is both too much information and too little variation when it comes to discovering new restaurants.
Too many:
- ⭐ 4.3 Star ratings
- 🤖 Bots
- 💸 Ads
- 🥸 Fake reviews
Not enough:
- 💎 Real hidden gems
- 📢 Sharing between friends
- 🤗 Human connection
- ✨ Variability (always sorting on rating or number of reviews)
The Solution
Gwak is a mobile app that lets you follow specific people whose taste you trust. You only see reviews of restaurants for the people you follow. Nothing else.
