I’ve been using North in beta and I’m obsessed. It’s great for planning upcoming trips, but I’m also loving it for exploring locally more thoroughly. By keeping places that aren’t in my usual rotation top of mind, it’s encouraged me to try new places more often. I’m super excited by where the social features are going and have had a lot of fun recently seeing what friends are saving in North.
@nicola_milne Thanks Nicola! And thanks for all of your continued feedback over the last year on ways that we can make North even more useful. It is so much better today as a result.

I have had the chance to use this app for a while now and got to test it during our recent trip to Japan. It helped us find so many amazing places that I would have completely passed by otherwise. I am not always the best at planning ahead so the ease that this app brings to making a trip plan and then finding everything with quick filtering abilities has made planning much easier for me already. It also helps me find new places quickly if I don’t have a plan ahead of time. Need a place to eat? See what’s nearby on North. Need the highlights of a spot that you’ve never been to but your friends have? Get ahold of their North list of personal favorites.
@austin_hunter3 Thanks Austin! I'm so glad that North has made it easier for you to put a plan together for your trips. Hope Japan was a blast! 🍣

I end up using North literally every day. I see a TikTok of a new restaurant- save it in North. I am trying to find a coffee nearby- look it up in North. I am planning a trip to the coast next month- make a list of places in North. It is so nice to have everywhere I love and want to explore in one place that is beautiful and easy to use.
@shannon_tivona1 thank you so much for your support and for being an early beta user of North! Your feedback has contributed to continually improving North in a major way, and we are so grateful. 🙌
Exciting concept, Devon! North sounds like a game changer for all of us who love exploring new places but often feel overwhelmed by options. The emphasis on private reviews and trusted friend recommendations is something I think a lot of people will appreciate—especially without the noise of social media algorithms.
I also love that you focused on flexible organization; with so many places to keep track of, that’s crucial. Can’t believe you’ve put together such a well-thought-out app after a year of refinement—impressive!
I’m definitely going to give North a shot and will import my Google Maps pins to get started. Looking forward to seeing how North develops further! Upvoting! 🚀
Love the idea of private reviews and trusted friend recommendations. How do you ensure the app remains clutter-free with so many saved places? Congrats on the launch! 🎉
@kevinyaoooooo Good question. That's where filters and Smart Lists come in. You can easily filter down your places by category, location, your rating, your tags, and more. And then you can save those filters as an automatically-updating Smart List, so its fast to get back to that set of filters.
This makes managing a large number of saved places really easy—I have over 2,000 saved places!

Wow, this product looks so interesting! Congrats Devon and Teams on your launch and thank you for making this useful product!
Already supported, I voted for it.
I believe many users need a pure, completely clean app for sharing and recommendations, where you can get away from the polished but misleading ads on YouTube and Instagram.
Stay genuine, keep the passionate desire to share, and I believe it will bring me a huge surprise!

I like the private reviews and friend-focused recs, feels way more authentic than most social platforms!
