Foodmento is a food finder app that puts all of those uploaded photos of food to good use. Although there are some restaurants that have gone as far as to ban people from taking pictures of their meals, Foodmento takes advantage of the fact people want to share their delicious meals with others.
With the app, users are able to search for dishes nearby and filter results based on price, rating and different types of cuisine. The app hooks you up with Google Maps for directions, and either lets you reserve through OpenTable or specify that you'd like delivery through Seamless. If you happen to try a dish that you love, Foodmento is a great way to help you remember exactly what it was and where you had it, and connect with other foodies who share your love of food.
