Foodies take heart. The new
Yummi app brings about an innovative way to share food experiences off of Instagram's rigid format. It enables a
steady, tracked production of food porn thanks to integration of a social aspect.
For those who frequently indulge in restaurant outings, like to plan
meals for the week, or simply want to scope out tasty looking menu
additions, Yummi helps with all that and more. This multi-faceted app
covers two major avenues:
restaurant eating and home cooking.

Instilling familiarity with Yelp- and Tinder-esque qualities, Yummi has
added some special features to improve food-sharers experience; multiple
images can be added (to better showcase one dish or include multiple
ones), posts can be toggled between public and private, save favourite
images or places for later, and, if you're feeling uninspired, take
advantage of recommended posts.
Posts can be searched by location, cuisine type, hashtag, or, for
simplicity's sake, swiping right will pull up nearby recommended posts.
Thanks to geo-tagging and location services via Google, posts are
automatically sorted by location, whether posting anew or searching the
database. All posts are organized in chronological order according to
the time the picture was taken, not the time of posting.

For those wanting to save money and rein in eating habits by cooking at
home, meal planning will quickly become Yummi's most valuable tool.
Conveniently displayed on a calendar (as shown above),
food shots are organized in a visually appealing, tiled masterpiece of mouthwatering delight. Expanding on the social aspect, Yummi isn't concerned with users one-upping each other with beautiful food pictures.
Recipe-sharing is a very real part of this tantalizingly tasty experience.

In many ways, Yummi has personalized food-sharing.
Any posts made are logged in your food journal which can be viewed at any time.
Rather than having their precious moments in food history buried under
the cumulative posts of the community, users can peruse forgotten meals,
look over past restaurant visits, or browse a similarly-minded person's
journal.
This app is currently available on
iOS only. Let's pipe our hot cross buns and hope Android gets the royal treatment in the future.
