What's New in TheFoodFind 2.1

New for everyone

Discover great places near you, share better-looking verdicts and keep your Culinary Vault tidy.

• Find your next table. See restaurants within 200 m of you, search by name or address, or drop your own pin on the map.
• Gold Verdict Cards. Share a single dish or a whole visit. Pick the cover dish and preview the card before you send it.
• Your maps, your privacy. Keep venue links in your chat messages only, and choose Apple Maps or Google Maps for directions.
• A tidier Culinary Vault. When two venues share a name, choose Same Place or New Spot. Long-press a venue to merge duplicates, and every dish and visit comes along.

Even better with Foodie

• Clean Gold Cards. No footer, no watermark.
• Gold Receipts and Dining Reports. Full multi-course tasting strips and detailed reports of every visit.
• Nothing in your way. No screens between you and your share, and unlimited saves to your Culinary Vault.

Available on the App Store from 22 October.

1. A New Dedicated Home Experience

A refined home screen opens the app with our plate-and-compass illustration, quick-actions, and collection counter.

• Direct Navigation: Clean two-button focus for Log a Meal and Culinary Vault without bottom-tab clutter.
• Active Visit Persistence: When a visit is in progress, Home displays the venue, saved course count, and direct actions to Resume Visit or Wrap Up.
• Zero Discard on Backgrounding: Returning home or switching apps never drops an active plate in progress.

2. An Intentional Meal Journey: Venue → Capture → Rate → Act

Capture dishes in sequence with real table context.

• Smart Venue Match & Pins: Suggests nearby establishments on first capture with optional Apple Maps pin or custom venue entry.
• The Grading Arena & Table Whisper: Prominent dish naming with our new optional Table Whisper field for rapid personal sensory notes.
• Action & Save: Post-rating control center to edit, log the next course, wrap up, or dispatch social exports.

3. Full Visit Lifecycle & S·A·V Wrap Up

A meal now has a beginning, a collection of plates, and a deliberate conclusion.

• Preserved Table Context: Log Next Dish keeps the table and restaurant locked; New Table starts fresh.
• Service, Ambience & Vibe (S·A·V): Wrap up with optional S·A·V scoring weighted at 80/20, 60/40, 50/50, or 100/0 against food consensus.

4. Redesigned Two-Tier Culinary Vault

Browse your dining archive structured cleanly by Restaurant → Visit → Dishes.

• Dated Visit Sections: Visits start collapsed for effortless scrolling, displaying dish counts, consensus badges, and S·A·V breakdown.
• Memory Preservation: Historical single-dish saves remain untouched without fabricating synthetic past visits.
