The Munchee app bills itself as "Instagram + Yelp." It lets those who are hungry browse for restaurants based on photos of specific types of foods or dishes. These photos come from the Munchee community and can be accompanied by written reviews of the dish, if the uploader wants to write one. Like Yelp the Munchee app employees a star rating system and a price rating system which uses dollar signs.
The app is location-based and has a real-time food feed to let users discover what others are chowing down on nearby. There's also a Pinterest-y function where profiles can feature pinned dishes, either for later reference or to establish oneself as an influencer within the app. The Munchee app is available now on iOS as a free download.
