Once you start importing your saved places, it may take a bit of time for them to show up but once they’re there, you can add notes, add to lists, search through your saved places by note, category, list, visited / not-visited or star rating.

I built this for my fiancée who wanted these features but I’m looking for feedback on how intuitive it is for others as well to see if there are any other features folks would like to see.

Thank you for checking out the App

on a similar note- I am looking for a better alternative to Google my watchlist. Such a highly underrated feature. But it deserves some love from Google. A better categories, ability to see watched movies, and leave some personal review will be awesome. I even thought about building it myself but I am afraid there is no official APIs for that.

Any idea when the next "Explained Visually" will get released? Really miss seeing those on HN.

We have a few different ideas but hoping to get signal from the folks here on what people would like to see.

Some sort term ideas:

* Auto-categorization. We're seeing most people just have "starred" places, and that's really it, so having some way to suggest a better breakdown of places should locations.

* Adding the ability to sort results by various criteria (distance, recently viewed, rating, alphabetical)

Some longer term ideas:

* Making the experience more social, but more like "iMessage" social not "Facebook" social, if that makes sense.
