local10: Local Guide & Venues

local10 is the honest way to find your city's true favorites. Forget star averages and fake reviews — follow a local guide powered by the people who actually go.

RANKINGS YOU CAN TRUST
Our Pulse score combines real-world signals into a single, reliable Top 10 list for every category. Unlike star averages, Pulse reflects where people actually spend time and what they genuinely like — a local guide shaped by the community.
• Discover new places by swiping venue cards: like, skip or save.
• See living Top 10 lists for every category, from burgers to coffee to meyhane.
• Fine-tune rankings in head-to-head duels between two similar venues.
• Add location-verified check-ins — a stronger, harder-to-fake signal.
• Switch between Trending (what's rising now) and All-Time (the city's classics).

BUILT TO RESIST MANIPULATION
We designed local10 to resist the manipulation that plagues traditional review platforms. Real actions outweigh anonymous noise; no paid placements, no fake accounts rising to the top.
• Start instantly — an anonymous identity is created automatically, no signup required.
• One person counts once per venue: no vote stacking.
• Signals from unlinked anonymous identities carry slightly less weight.
• Optionally link an email to back up your data and give your signals full weight.
• Server-side defenses filter suspicious activity in the background.

YOUR PERSONAL CITY MAP
More than a ranking app — a personal tool for exploring and remembering the city.
• Save favorite venues with one tap.
• Build custom lists for any mood: your burger tour, date spots, weekend breakfasts.
• See saved places on a map together with your own location.
• Share your lists with friends to plan the next outing.

DISCOVER & CONTRIBUTE
• Explore Gusto: hand-picked venue lists by approved local tastemakers. Curator picks give a small, capped boost — community votes always decide the final rank.
• Earn points, level up and unlock badges by voting, dueling and checking in.
• Missing a venue? Suggest it in seconds (name, city, category) and our team reviews it.

WHO IT'S FOR
Locals who want to settle the "where should we go" debate with evidence, newcomers exploring their neighborhood, and visitors who'd rather eat where the city actually eats.

CITIES & LANGUAGE
local10 is live in İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Alaçatı and Bodrum — Antalya, Fethiye and European cities are coming soon. The app is currently Turkish-only and distributed on the Türkiye storefront. It is completely free: no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.

Forget the stars. Follow the city's pulse.
