RateBud is your personal review journal that helps you understand how your opinions evolve over time.
Rate anything – coffee, wine, restaurants, books, movies, products – as often as you want and watch your taste develop through beautiful charts, smart insights, and ultra-fast item scanning.
WHY RATEBUD?
Unlike traditional review apps, RateBud is not about one-off ratings.
It is about tracking your relationship to the things you care about.
Scan. Add. Done. (No typing required)
RateBud uses on-device scanning to instantly recognize items:
• Barcode scanning (UPC, EAN, QR)
• Text recognition (OCR)
• Visual matching (recognizes items by appearance)
• Auto-match with existing items
• Smart quality filtering on iOS 18+
Just point your camera and RateBud does the rest.
