If you have ever searched in vain for a recommendation you can trust for a good meal, spent hours writing emails to friends with your favourite spots, or switched between half a dozen apps to plan a simple activity, Guidebook is for you.

Guidebook helps you see great recommendations from people you know, privately save and later find places you would like to visit, recommend those you love-- to the people you know-- and directly share your best finds with your friends. Guidebook is, in short, a platform to help you make great plans built on advice sourced from the people you trust.

With Guidebook, you can find a great café, jazz bar, local landmark, or hidden historical treasure, and trust that you will enjoy it-- because you know the person who recommended it. No more cross-referencing lists of dubious credibility or verifying review from strangers online; Guidebook provides a shortcut to trust, saving you time, effort, and money wasted on poor recommendations. By saving your favourite locations and making collections, you can easily share your best finds with minimal effort, keeping you from having to write or send a pre-made list every time anyone asks, and keeping your friends from having to save, annotate, and map your recommendations on their own.

Guidebook lets you:
- Save promising places to find and try them later;
- Recommend great places to the people you know;
- Easily and efficiently make and share lists of places (wine bars in central London, opera houses around the world, great parks for a picnic: the choice is yours!);
- Use lists to make mapped itineraries for upcoming trips;
- Use filters to easily narrow your list to see cafés, restaurants, public attractions, etc.

Future Guidebook features include:
- features to help you share certain finds with smaller groups, rather than everyone you have connected with;
- an inspiration feed to help you find great ideas for your trips and activities;
- an activity planning framework to help you translate your great finds into even better plans, for short adventures and longer trips;
- Bill splitting;
- Photo sharing, and
- enhanced social features, to help you coordinate with your friends with less effort.

Guidebook saves you time, money, and needles frustration. Join Guidebook today and bring activity planning into the 21st century!
