Who’s more trustworthy? Your best friend since elementary school or some stranger on the internet? Yep, we thought so, and a new app called Blinked agrees.

The recommending platform lets users “blink” (aka thumbs-up) places they’ve been, things they love and products they use. Want to see all the restaurants near you that friends, influencers and celebrities love without scrolling through thousands of reviews from angry customers or ticked-off reviewers? Just download the ap p and select the “food and drink” category, and a whole slew will pop into your feed with likes and comments from people you know or follow.
