About Goodrec

Goodrec is the easiest way to make, find and remember recommendations among friends.

After years of seeking and making recommendations for everything from brunch spots to beach books via phone calls, emails, and crumpled paper napkins (often only to lose them moments later), we decided there had to be a better way!

Existing online review sites didn’t address our needs...

Reading through wordy online reviews from people we’d never met took too long and didn’t mean much to us anyway. Visiting different sites for different topics was a hassle. And more importantly, our friends weren’t submitting reviews online because it was just too much effort. We were always asking for ideas and tips, then having to keep track of them somehow.

Even more frustrating, there wasn’t a good way to get recommendations when we needed them most: starving on a street corner in a new part of town, standing in the bookstore trying to find a good airplane book, or searching the grocery store for a decent bottle of wine under $20.

...so, we set out to create an innovative, practical service that we’d actually use ourselves.

Our Quick Tip system makes it easy to find and make recommendations from and for your friends, enabling informed decisions when at home or mobile.

No more wading through 52 reviews of Sushi Sam’s, trying to figure out whose tastes most closely match yours.

No more racking your brain trying to remember which Hitchcock movie your fanatic friend says is the very best.
