I am pleased to announce to the Steem Community a project I have been working on since Lisbon.
Let's Eat is an android mobile application for the Steem Blockchain that helps you find and share places to eat on the go.
Food Reviews on the Steem Blockchain!
Let's Eat is available for download from the play store
About Me (@eroche)
Food
Food has always been a big part of my travel experiences. From Churros in Spain, Waffles in Belgium, Mezze in Lebanon and Sushi in Japan, I love good food and I write about it on Steem. When I travel I never choose to have breakfast in the hotel I am staying. Every trip is a chance to discover something new.
With Let's Eat I want to bring more food reviews to Steem and enhance the discovery experience.
Steem/it
There are already great food reviews on Steem/it already but they are not always easy to find. Let's Eat makes it easier to post and browse food reviews on the go.
Let's Eat users:
- are incentivised to produce high quality reviews
- can discover places to eat near them
- can earn Steem from the Steem Community for their Reviews
Posting is made effortless with posting templates. Browsing reviews on the go is with a map view and locator. You will find nearby places and reviews that have been posted on Steem.
Bringing Steem to New Users
Not only will this app appeal to existing Steemians but it will make Steem more accessible for a wider audience! Anyone can use the app you don't even need a Steem account to use it to find nearby places.
Is this another Yelp or TripAdvisor?
This app is about food reviews; restaurants, cafes, delis even street stalls but this app is fundamentally different than existing products.
The motivation is to create a new technology that enables people to benefit from the features of a decentralised Blockchain.
Beta Features
The version I am launching today is a beta. We plan to develop this offering over time and while the first version does not include all the bells and whistles, it is fun to use and already really useful.
- You can track your review posts and see how much you have earned.
- You can discover places near you.
- You can compose posts including photos and finish them later.
Do I need a Let's Eat account?
You can use the app without an account but if you wish to post you will need to sign into Let's Eat with your Steem Account via Steemconnect.
As the number of apps on Steem grows you may find your feed becomes full of different types of posts, My approach to this is to set up separate Steem accounts for different audiences. I am going to use @eroche.food for posting about my food experiences but Let's Eat will work with any account and because login is via Steemconnect you can be assured we never store or see your passwords.
Take a quick tour of Let's Eat with with this demo video
To get an overview of the app you can watch the demo video on the play store.
Try Let's Eat today
Give it a try today, You can download it for free without needing to log in. If you want to make a post you can use your main account or set up a dedicated one on www.steemit.com.
Please note your active key is necessary for signing in to Let's Eat via Steemconnect.
Feedback
This is a work in progress so there may be beta bugs, but together we will build the best blockchain food discovery app on Steem!
Please let me know what you think, what works what doesn't work, features you would like to see in future versions. Be honest and we will build this app together to benefit the Steem community.
Updates
Over the next few days I will post some tutorials covering different aspects of the app so stay tuned, follow @letseat and we will explore the features of the app together.
We hope you enjoy Let's Eat, please recommend it to your friends and star it on the play store.
Happy Eating!
Great idea.
Resteemed.

Another great application using Steem! I actually made a post about a really nice lunch restaurant in January that I would actually like use as a basis for making review using this app. Great work!
By the way, this is a brilliant way to incentivize restaurants to create a Steem account, too. If a restaurant makes a Steem account and buys Steem Power they can upvote the positive reviews. :D Of course, they might risk a scandal if they did not do it anonymously and even then if they do it too brazenly. :D
But whatever creates buying pressure on STEEM is a great thing!

You did it while in Lisbon, huh? My city is really the best! :P
I was wondering if you know Zomato, another restaurant review app. I worked for them some years ago and it is almost the same (except zomato doesnt have the payment per review). Following and thinking about downloading it :)

This app was introduced to me via Steemhunt and this is really something that is really nice. I immediately downloaded the app to see what's in store and also to check if it will be able to cover our local shops and to my surprise YES they were. From restos to even water station they have it! I will be using this app for sure when I created my blog thanks for this one.

Badass! This would be such a game changer for all those foodies on the steem block chain! I do I do !! I do love food so I'm now on Let'sEat! but somehow the profile pic doesn't want to show. Also, such some suggestion here. It would be good if besides choosing from the place lists that the app provides, I could type in and search for a specific place.. I tried and I couldn't do so.
Can't wait to go dine out tomorrow LOLOL haaa
Already follow your another food acct, let's see how fun this could get!
Thank you for such an app! ❤

this is awesome. I was born for this app lol. Thanks for making this. I downloaded and did my first review. I love how all my local restaurants are already in there. My review posted to my steemit blog but I do not see it on the app itself in my phone. I did get a pop up that said "unspecified error" I assume there are still some bugs so I just wanted to let you know what I experienced.

I love it and a decentralized review app is much needed. Yelp has too much power here in the states and it can be easily manipulated. Any clue if google will index the reviews on the app in their search somehow? That could be huge in terms of Local SEO for restaurants.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

All the reviews will be posted on Steem so they will also show up on steemit.com.
This is a great question someone with more knowledge of how google indexes content may be able to answer it but I will certainly be looking to promote reviews as much as possible.

I bring on a lot of new users to steemit and I will encourage them to download and use this. It's really cool and easier way for newbies to earn a little steem from me than writing long form blog content. Great job!!! I love this. Just did my second review. Considering I eat out ever meal this will be fun for me.

I am not that close to the @tasteem project but from looking at the website we will be operating in the same area but I think @letseat will have quite different features. I will blog about these features of @letseat over the next few days.

My first smart phone was a windows phone and I refused to get an android or apple for years. I am so glad I gave in in the end :)
Android seems easier and cheaper to develop on, and to get listed in the play store so that is probably the reason more crypto apps are going down that road. Many people on Steemit seem to have apple phones though.

Cool idea with the food review templates, resteemed as restaurant reviews don't make sense on steemit if you can't find them. An app where you could review recipes for us hobby cooks out there would also be nice :) Any plans for an web app or IOS version?

Great looking app @letseat :)
One thing you might want to add is a checkbox as to whether or not the restaurant accepts STEEM or SBD as payment. If the customer has the SteemWallet and the merchant is using the PalmPay(.io) point of sale software (both are free) then when you find the restaurant, you can pay them with Steem too. Hope you consider this :)
