The restaurant page got a full redesign. Dark, photo-forward, and a lot easier to read across a table in bad lighting. Swipe from the left edge to go back, the way the rest of your phone works. The back button still works if you prefer it. "Open now" actually means open now. It used to guess from a text label; it now checks each spot's real hours and marks every row Open, Closes soon, or Closed while you browse. 299 of the 305 restaurants have real hours behind it. Restaurants that have been Ono Featured keep their featured page after they rotate off the home screen. Boots and Kimos, The Pig and the Lady, and Ono Seafood have theirs back.

Search actually finds things now. Typing "waikiki" only reached 10 of the 34 spots in Waikiki. Neighborhoods are stored with their proper Hawaiian spelling, marks and all, and nobody types those into a search box - so search no longer cares either way. It also searches dishes, so "garlic shrimp" or "red rice" finds the place that makes it, and it stops matching words inside other words - "red" gives you Red Elephant Thai, not five wood-fired pizza joints. There are also 20 more Oahu trucks and pop-ups on the map, most of them with real photos.

Fixed a crash. Tapping “View all” or one of the craving tiles on the Food Trucks tab would drop you out of the app instead of opening the list — that’s sorted. The island map does something now, too: tap a neighborhood pin and you get every truck parked in that area. The truck cards got a cleanup while we were in there — bigger photos, hours you can actually read, and less clutter between you and the thing you’re deciding on.

Food Trucks got a browse upgrade. Pick a craving — dessert, burgers, garlic shrimp, Mexican, plate lunch, or noodles — instead of scrolling the whole roster, filter to what's open right now, and see real photos on the trucks we've got them for. We've also removed the location check on "I ate here." Checking in no longer requires your phone to confirm you're standing at the spot — it's a straightforward log now, not a verification.

Markets and food events got a full rebuild. Every market has its own page now, with a real schedule behind it — weekly, monthly, or one-off dates — so you can see what's actually on tonight instead of guessing whether a market runs this week. Filter the list to day markets, night markets, or one-time events. You can also plan a meal with friends: pick a spot and a time, send the link, and anyone can open it to see the details and say they're in — no account needed. Elsewhere, trending dishes now stand out on the map, check-ins are more reliable, and new signups confirm their email address before the account is created.

Every spot now tells you why it made the guide — a short editorial note on what makes the place worth going to, and what to order when you get there. We've also added photos of the dishes each spot is known for, three new collections (best bakeries, cafes and burgers), and a rebuilt Near Me that narrows by distance, price and cuisine. The leaderboard now scores everyone on the same rules, so the rankings are finally accurate. Your own number may move — that's the fix, not a bug.

Smoother map and better recommendations throughout the app. We've also tightened up how check-ins confirm you're actually at the restaurant, and refreshed our privacy policy to spell out exactly what we measure — and what we never share.
