What is ReTaste?
ReTaste is a private food journal for remembering which dishes are worth having again. Save the dishes and places you want to try; when you try them, answer one question — would you taste it again? — with Must ReTaste, Just Fine, or Never Again. It works for anything you buy to eat: restaurant dishes, delivery, coffee, supermarket snacks. The tastes you keep coming back to rise on their own to Rare, Epic and Legendary. Private by default. No stars, no scores out of ten, no social feed, no ads.
What is a "taste" in ReTaste?
A taste is one specific thing you eat or drink, and where it comes from: the carbonara at this trattoria, the flat white at that café, one flavor of chips. The same dish in another kitchen is another taste. Each time you have it is a tasting, with its own verdict — and the same dish can be a miracle one night and just fine the next. Every tasting stays on the taste, so you see what it's really like over time, and what you keep coming back to.
Can I use ReTaste to rate restaurants?
Yes, for yourself. Instead of one score for the whole place, you rate each dish you had there, every time you have it. Those verdicts build the restaurant's card: what to order again and what to skip. Each dish keeps all its verdicts, so you also see when one has slipped.
Can I see my tastes by place, or on a map?
Yes. Every place you've been gets its own card: each taste you've had there with your verdict, the ones you saved to try, and how far it is from you. Walk into your usual café and you know what to order — and what not to. On the map, your places show in the colors of your verdicts and your plans in grey; filter it by verdict, and open any place in your navigation app for directions.
Can I see how a dish changed over time?
Yes. Every tasting stays on its taste card with its verdict, photo and date, and a row of dots shows the latest verdicts at a glance. So you see whether a dish that wowed you the first time held up, or turned out just fine the next two times. You can also go through your journal by date, newest first, and jump back to any month.
Is ReTaste free?
Yes. ReTaste is free on Google Play, with no ads.
Is ReTaste on iPhone?
Not yet. ReTaste is on Android now. Join the iOS waitlist on this page and you'll get one email when it launches.
Who can see my ratings?
Only you. Your journal isn't a review site: nobody browses it, and nothing is published unless you choose to share it. When you do, it's one taste at a time.
Can I share a taste with a friend?
Yes. Send any taste as a link: your friend sees the dish, the place, your verdict and a note from you, even without the app. If they have ReTaste, it opens right in the app, filled in, and one tap saves it to their wishlist. Only that one taste is shared; the rest of your journal stays yours.
Is ReTaste a calorie counter or a diet tracker?
No. ReTaste doesn't count calories, nutrients or portions. Log as often as you like — and not only the highs and lows: Just Fine is a verdict too. It's how you remember you've already tried something, so you never have to wonder twice.
Does ReTaste work for more than restaurants?
Yes. Delivery, coffee, street food and anything from the supermarket count. For a packaged product, snap the pack and AI reads the name off the label, or scan the barcode — whichever is easier. In the shop, a scan also tells you if you've had it before and what you thought. For a dish, a photo is enough for AI to suggest a name and a category. AI can be switched off in Settings.
Can I track wine, craft beer or specialty coffee in ReTaste?
Yes. Wine, craft beer, cider, spirits, specialty coffee, tea and cheese are logged like any other taste: snap the label or scan the barcode, give your verdict, and note whatever matters to you — the vintage, the hops, the roast, who poured it. Every bottle and every cup gets its own history, right next to the food.
How is ReTaste different from Beli or Google reviews?
Beli ranks restaurants against each other and shows your rankings to friends. Google reviews average strangers' opinions of a whole venue. ReTaste keeps your own verdict on each dish at each place, every time you have it. It stays yours — and when a find is worth passing on, you send it as a link, and your friend saves it to their own wishlist in a tap.
