Data shows that people trust their friends, family, and network for product and service recommendations. I think this should extend to map and business services.
Say you're looking for a good sushi place, are you more likely to trust the public opinion, which could be really misguided, or are you more likely to trust your network?
I've been burned many times by seeing a high rating on Google Maps, and it turns out the place is garbage. High ratings conflated by people outside of my network.
Does anyone know if an iOS app exists that does this following:
- Allows me to search for any service or place you might find on Google/Apple maps
- Instead of public ratings, it shows the ranking from only my network
- Instead of rating stars or percentages, your network merely ranks the places or services they like, or could set a place as "do not recommend"
Before I dig into solving this, I hope it exists already.
