Record the dishes you eat with I ate this
Tap I ate this on any dish on Nearbites to remember it: add a star rating and a note, share it with your followers or keep it private.
You finally tried those prawn dumplings everyone talks about. Were they as good as the photos? Would you order them again? A week later it's easy to forget. Now there's a simple way to remember every dish you've eaten on Nearbites: tap I ate this.
Record a dish in one tap
Every dish page now has an I ate this button, right next to Save. Tap it, and you can add:
- A star rating from one to five, if you want to. Tap the same star again to clear it.
- A short note, like "silky skins and plenty of prawn", so future you knows why it was worth it.
- Public or private. Public records post to your feed for your followers. Private ones are just for you.
Once you've recorded a dish, the button changes to Eaten, so you can see at a glance what you've already tried. Changed your mind about the rating? Open it again and update it, or remove it altogether.
See how many people have eaten it
Beside the button you'll see how many people have eaten the dish, like "12 people ate this". It's a quick sign that a dish is a local favourite, and it sits right above the photo, because when you're choosing what to eat, seeing the dish is what matters most.
Your ratings count
The stars you give when you record a dish count towards its rating, together with written reviews. So even when you don't have time to write a full review, your verdict still helps the next person decide. Want to say more? You can still write a review on any dish page. Tick "I ate this meal" in your review and the dish is recorded for you.
Restaurants and menus too
Restaurant pages have an I ate here button for the times you visited but didn't note a particular dish. And on a restaurant's menu, every dish you've recorded gets an Eaten badge, so on your next visit you can order your favourite again or try something new.
Share it with your followers
When you record a dish publicly, it appears in your feed with the dish's photo, so the people who follow you can see what you've been eating and save it to their own lists. They can react and comment, too.
Prefer to keep your eating to yourself? Choose Private and nothing is posted. Private records still count towards how many people have eaten a dish, without showing who.
On your phone
It works just as well on your phone, so you can record a dish while it's still on the table.
Start your food diary
Nearbites helps food lovers around the world find dishes by what they look like, starting with thousands of restaurants across Australia. Now it remembers what you've eaten, too. Find a dish you love, sign in, and tap I ate this.
