Pros
Easy-to-use and familiar design.
Simply snap a photo (or up to 15) to leave a “foodprint.”
Foodprints are automatically backdated and organized into a time sequence on your profile page. You can add old food photos to your Yummi account or start fresh with new ones.
Post photos and dress them up with filters, text, and stickers in just a few clicks.
Add reviews of the food you eat and review that of other Yummi users to get insight into places you might want to visit and food you want to try.
Organize food photos chronologically and search geographically.
Set your profile or individual posts as private or public at any time.
Join Yummi with ease using email, Facebook or Instagram.
Collect coins (or points) for being active in the app and inviting friends to join.
Search for foodprints, recommendations and ideas from Yummi users near you or within a specific radius.
Save places you like to your wish list with a single click.
Explore Yummi’s international community and interact with users all over the globe.
Easily share content to Facebook or Instagram.
Cons
To get the most from the app, you’ll need to turn on location services and allow access to photos, which may conjure privacy concerns for some.
The current community is small and therefore limited. Yummi has not reached a critical mass to truly cover the food around the world.
Coins cannot currently be redeemed for anything but (per the app) may be used for events and food discounts later.
Bottom Line
Yummi is like a dedicated social feed and search engine for food from around the globe. It’s Instagram meets Yelp with a dash of Google. If it continues to grow, it can be a resourceful and fun place for foodies to hang out.
