About this app

Traveling to Korea or Japan — or just eating out in your own neighborhood? A 4.5-star spot that turns out to be a tourist trap? Townie Map shows two separate ratings for every restaurant in Korea and Japan — one from locals who live there, one from visitors. No review-for-perks campaigns. Just honest ratings you can trust, so you eat where locals really do.

■ What makes Townie Map different

· Honest ratings, no review-for-perks
No reviews traded for discounts or freebies. Only real ratings from people who actually went.

· Local vs Visitor dual rating
Every restaurant shows two scores, like "Locals 4.6 · Visitors 3.9." See at a glance who really loves a place.

· Become a local
Register your neighborhood and verify by GPS while you're there to become a "local." Reviews you write as a local count toward the local rating.

· Snapshot at time of writing
Each review is locked to your local/visitor status the moment you post it, and never changes. That's why you can trust it.

■ How it works

1. Register your neighborhoods (up to 3) on the map
2. Verify by GPS in the area to become a local
3. Add places you've visited and review with stars, photos, and visit date
4. Discover neighborhood favorites with high local ratings

■ Key features

· Local/Visitor dual-rating map
· Explore restaurants by neighborhood, find places nearby
