How to keep track of restaurants you’ve visited
Been There gives each visit its own record: what you ate, what you thought and who you went with. Go back to the same restaurant and add another visit to its history.
When you want to return, look through your past visits and find the place on your own map.
Been There is free for iPhone and Android.

Keep the details of every visit.
Four meals at one restaurant can mean four different memories. Been There keeps them as separate visits, grouped under the place.
- Remember what to order again.
- Keep a photo and a note from that meal. The bakery visit shown here records the pistachio pan suisse and what Jamie thought of it.
- Remember who was there.
- Tag the people you went with on that visit. The food, your note and the company stay together as one memory.
- Find the place when you need it.
- Browse your own photo map, then open a place to look back through its visits. Your record grows every time you return.
See how one visit becomes a place history.
The visit above is one of four at Buddy’s Bakery. These real app screens show how individual memories stay connected to a place and become part of your own map.
Keep your first visit in Been There.
Your journal is useful from the first place you add. Here’s how to start.
- Find the place in Been There. Choose the restaurant, café, pub or bar you visited.
- Add your visit. Keep your photos, a note and who you went with together.
- Look back when you need it. Open your profile or map to find the place and revisit your record.
Already using Notes or Google Maps?
Google Maps gives you saved places, lists and notes about a place. You can organise a dining diary yourself in Notes. Been There gives you that structure: each visit has its own photos, note and tagged companions, grouped under the place and connected to your own map.
Before you start
Can I use Been There before my friends join?
Yes. You can build your own record of places and visits. Friends add recommendations when they use it too.
Can it find restaurants I visited before I started using it?
You can add older visits, but Been There won’t automatically reconstruct your restaurant history. If you’ve forgotten a place’s name, your photos, messages or booking emails may help you find it first.
Is Been There free?
Yes. Been There is free to download on iPhone and Android.
