Traveling a good amount this year and find a lot of variance between user reviews on different platforms - yelp, foursquare, seamless, etc...hoping this is a nice solution :)

@morewillie thanks for the support! Discovering a new place to eat, enjoy coffee or splurge on a craft cocktail is changing. People progressively are taking to social media for better transparency and authentic reviews. We thoroughly interview and approve influencers, who are industry experts that include: travel/food bloggers, chefs, mixologists and sommeliers. Zipkick is a one stop place to discover influencer recommendations so you spend less time searching and more time enjoying experiences.

True statement @morewillie. People seem to feel the same way towards TripAdvisor as well.

looks good jason. last time we spoke zipkick had a different mission: as a hotel booking app. what made the team decide to pivot to the review space?
Jason Will @ Zipkick

Thanks for the comment @zushizack and kind words. There were two main reasons: customer feedback and their desire to explore beyond the confines of a hotel as well as our influencer community was looking for a better way to exchange with travelers through their social recommendations that are currently being drowned amongst the noise. At a high level, reviews have become a commodity that are exchanged for money and that obviously leads to a lack of transparency and businesses/customers suffer as a result. We pride ourselves on trust and transparency, which is built through the engagement with our experts.

I have been able to find great places in Minneapolis so far and enjoy the easy and visually appealing UI.

I love Zipkick. I've seen the app evolve and I think it nails the void between the noise of Yelp etc. and lack of curation from trusted experts. The UI is well done and I expect the functionality to keep getting better and better.

Thank you @thejcad! Travel is a very personal thing to so many people. However, the industry has never seen a product that fuses traditional social as we know it along with a community of travel bloggers, chefs and sommeliers. It's our mission to collaborate with the world's top industry experts in order to help people plan the best trips possible. Travel, food and wine are the necessities in life. Being able to experience those moments with great people is our motivation.

Never got to meetup in Austin as discussed and never received a Logo T-Shirt ever though I was among original bloggers.

Pros:

Networking is fantastic on many social media platforms and the theories are excellent.

Cons:

Maybe better reaction to minor requests from people who support Zipkick.

A serious attitude adjustment, and some soul searching needs to take place, as well as acceptance criteria. Our food, drink & travel blog is once of the more successful ones in Cincinnati. Zipkick originally sent me a “CONGRAULATIONS, YOU’VE BEEN APPROVED!!!” email, and then, followed this up with (for some bizarre reason that is still to this day yet to be explained to me) not accepting me at all, BUT, also BLOCKING me on Instagram! I can only hazard a guess, but they must be embaresssd by their mistake and trying to cover it up!

Pros:

There are no pro’s to report - IF the company was managed better & customer service team were better, this COULD be successful!

Cons:

Lack of class. Support team are rude & sarcastic No reasoning or answers given. CEO had the exact same rude & dire attitude.
