Mapstr - The Map of Your World 4+

What a great little app! I found out about the app in a column on the Air France magazine last year and I can't believe how handy it's been since. I travel a good amount and I love tagging great restaurants in every city that I go to, and the ability to share makes it even more handy. Having the option to tag different categories (restaurants, discotheques, stores, etc) also makes it easy to look for all your saved places at a glance, and the list option sorts places based on distance, so if you save recommendations from friends you can find out how close you are to all of them and make a decision based on that. Legitimately very happy, and I wish the developer a lot of success!

I have been searching for years of a way to keep track of the fabulous food scene of Chicago. Mapstr is the best app to do that. Tagging by neighborhood, cuisine, chef, great rooftop etc etc has been super helpful for me to be able to easily pull up great options that meet my criteria. Many friends and family contact me because they know I’ll have great recommendations on where they should go because of mapstr. I love how there’s now more room for a restaurant description. More detail has helped so much! I also love that I can include links to online articles about the place so I can easily find more info. Super excited to continue to add more locations to my mapstr!!

Mapstr is perfect for planning a vacation. The endless lists of recommended hot spots - from friends, family, travel magazines -come to life in a map, and with the proximity alerts, you won’t miss a thing as you wander around a new city. The interface is easy to navigate and beautiful. We absolutely love the custom tagging for easy filtering, and we can add a comment for each spot noting how we learned about it. Check out Mapstr’s Facebook page for recommended ambassadors to follow. I’m also using the app to share recommendations in our neighborhood for our house guests. Highly recommended!
