The Pike Playbook: 4 Ways to Discover More, Search Less

Is it too pick-me to say we're not like other apps? Maybe. But we're saying it anyway. Pike takes the best parts of the apps you already know and everything they were missing and rolls them into one place built for discovery. Here are four ways to discover more and search less.

1. Stop Hoarding Recommendations. Build a Guide

Pike was created with the intention to discover, save, and organize guides in every city around the world. Whether you're saving every local restaurant you want to try or mapping out every stop on your next vacation, every guide is a good guide.

2. Borrow Someone Else’s Taste

But when you're feeling particularly gatekeepy (don’t worry there’s a private setting to your guides) or a little lazy, you can always rely on the taste of people you actually trust. Pike lets you follow and interact with other creators to explore the guides they're curating. Instead of letting an algorithm decide what you should see, you can scroll through a location-based Discovery Feed filled with guides created by real people—putting the power back in the hands of tastemakers where it belongs.

3. Let the Map Do the Wandering

Pike integrates with Google Maps to provide a user-friendly, reliable glance at hours, websites, addresses, price ranges, photos and more. This feature also ensures you don’t get sent on a 14 block detour!

4. Become Everyone’s Favorite Recommendation Friend

Instead of re-writing a list for every friend who comes to visit, put all of your recommendations on Pike to make sharing them easier than ever. They’ll have access to it even without the app.
