An iPhone app for the places your friends rate. They post a photo and one honest line, and it lands on your map.

We’re starting in Perth, so that’s where Been is fullest right now. Your map fills in wherever your friends post.

How is it different from reviews?

No stars, and no one you didn’t choose. Every pin is from someone you follow who actually went.

Who sees what I post?

You choose. A Private account posts to friends only. A Public account’s posts also appear on that place’s page in Been.

Does it track where I go?

Only when you post or open the map. Nothing goes on the map until you post it.

The places your friends swear by.

On one map. Real photos, one honest line each.

Coming soon to iPhone. Starting in Perth.

You’ve been told about a hundred good places. Try naming three.

Now they all land in one place.

A pin only exists where someone you know has actually been.

Here, you don’t have to remember.

One photo, an honest thought, from the friend who went.

Just your people and their places. Post the blurry photo, say what you thought, get back to dinner.
