RateBud is your personal review journal for anything you care about - coffee, wine, restaurants, books, movies, products, and more. Review items repeatedly and discover how your taste changes over time.
RATE WHAT MATTERS

RateBud uses on-device scanning to quickly recognize items:
- Barcode scanning for UPC, EAN, and QR codes
- Text recognition with OCR
- Visual matching by appearance
