NOWWHERE An invite-only social platform for sharing restaurant recommendations

About

NOWWHERE is a social platform that unites creatives and celebrities and lets them share recommendations for leisure places with each other.

The platform provides a select list of the best places, showing only those which have been recommended by reviewers from the fashion, music, film, photography, and design industries. The app provides additional information about recommended restaurants and uses geolocation to show the best places nearby.

Features of the NOWWHERE app include:

• Quick selection of restaurants that have been recommended;
• Recommendations by VIPs (each restaurant featured must be recommended by one of the creative members);
• Social engagement (share and exchange restaurant recommendations with like-minded people);
• Celebrity following (discover and follow creatives and see how they travel the globe);
• Live streams to inspire users with the freshest recommendations worldwide;

Challenges

NOWWHERE set a challenge to create an iPhone app that would connect celebrities and let them share opinions and tips about popular places. NOWWHERE also needed to offer a mobile-friendly informational website.

The app needed to have the following features:

• Restaurant references;
• Information about public venues;
• A stream with recent reviews;
• Sharing via social networks;
• Ability to invite friends;
• Trial access;
• Map;
• User profiles;

The website needed to display:

• Interviews;
• Editor’s pick of the month;
• Reviews;
• Recommendations;
• Stream;
