PointSF: Point & Explore

New in SF: Point your phone at any restaurant, shop, landmark and more. Get quick, friendly insights including review summaries and insider tips—right when you need it.

See San Francisco differently.

PointSF is a new way to explore the city using the simple act of pointing. Open the app, aim your phone at a place nearby, and get a quick, helpful summary of what it is, what it’s known for, and why it might be worth checking out.

Use PointSF while walking through San Francisco to learn about restaurants, bars, cafés, shops, landmarks, attractions, public art, parks, neighborhoods, and more. Point at a transit stop to see when the next bus is coming. Point at a mural, storefront, plaza, or hidden gem to uncover local context you might otherwise miss.

LOOK UP, NOT DOWN

Instead of constantly searching maps, scrolling reviews, or typing into search bars, PointSF helps you explore more naturally — by looking up, moving through the city, and noticing what’s already around you.
