Answers to the questions we hear most.
Getting started
What is Dritta? ▾
Dritta is a place to save and share recommendations with people whose taste you actually trust —
not star ratings from strangers. When a friend recommends ("recs") a restaurant, bar, or cafe, it
shows up on your map and in your feed with their own note about why it's worth going.
What's a "rec"? ▾
A rec is your personal endorsement of a place — you can add a short comment about why you liked it
and tag it with a vibe ("Date Night," "Hidden Gem," "Cheap Eats," etc.). A place can have many
people's recs attached to it; your rec is yours alone, separate from anyone else's.
How do I add a rec? ▾
Tap the "Add Rec" button on the Explore tab's map, search for the place, and optionally add a comment
and vibe tags before saving. You can also rec a place directly from search if it doesn't have any
recs yet.
Lists
What's the difference between a rec and a list? ▾
A rec is your opinion about one place. A list is a collection of places, which can include your own
recs and places you've saved without rec'ing. Lists are how you organize recommendations by theme —
"Best Brunch," "Date Night Spots," and so on.
What is "My Recs"? ▾
"My Recs" is the default list every account starts with. When you rec a place without picking a
specific list, it lands here automatically. It's public by default, so it's the closest thing to
your overall public profile of recommendations.
Can I make a list private? ▾
Yes. Every list (except your default "My Recs") can be set to public or private when you create it.
Private lists are only visible to you.
What's the difference between following a person and following a list? ▾
Following a person surfaces their public lists and recs generally. Following a specific list keeps
that list showing up for you even if you later unfollow the person who owns it — useful if you only
care about one particular list someone keeps (like a running "Best Coffee" list) rather than
everything they post.
If someone deletes their rec, does it disappear from lists it was saved to? ▾
It's removed from any of their own lists automatically, since deleting a rec means they no
longer recommend that place. If someone else separately saved that place to their own list, it stays
in that list — saving something to your own list is treated as your own curation choice, independent
of whether the original rec is still there.
Friends
How do I find friends on Dritta? ▾
You can search for people directly, or let Dritta match your phone contacts against people already
on Dritta (only with your permission — see our
Privacy Policy for how contact matching works).
Map & Explore
Why do some pins on the map show a number instead of a place? ▾
When there are a lot of recommendations close together, Dritta groups them into a single numbered
pin so the map stays readable. Zoom in and they'll separate back into individual places.
Can I search for a place by what people said about it, not just its name? ▾
Yes — search matches place names as well as the comments and vibe tags people used in their recs, so
searching "brunch" can surface a place because someone's rec specifically praised the brunch, even if
"brunch" isn't in the place's name.
Account & privacy
Is my location shared with other users? ▾
No — your live location is only used locally, on your device, to show you nearby places and center
the map. Other users never see your location.
How do I delete my account? ▾
Contact us at support@dritta.io and we'll take care of it.
[CONFIRM: update this once in-app self-serve account deletion ships, if planned.]
Do you sell my data? ▾
No. See our full Privacy Policy for exactly what we collect and how
it's used.
