One phone. Whole table.

Your data

We keep nothing about you.

No account, no sign-up, no email address to hand over (unless you choose to email us). Your saved spots sit on your phone, and we never receive a copy. Each keeps only the place's ID, and its details load fresh from Google Maps; the app doesn't store your location or your distance from it. Your phone's own backup may restore them on a new phone. The ads are Google's: its AdMob software collects some data of its own inside the app, and we don't receive it (see the list below).

Location is used while the app is open to find places near you. If you've already allowed it, the app checks it as it opens so your first pick is one tap; it stays in memory and is never saved. When you search, it passes through our server on its way to Google; we never store or log it. Rather not share it? Type an address or pick a spot on the map; everything still works, apart from distances.

What the app actually collects
LocationOptional. Used only while the app is open. When you search, it passes through our server to Google to find places; we never store or log it. Already allowed? The app checks it as it opens; it stays in memory. A typed address is looked up by your phone's own geocoder (on Android, Google's). If location is off or the phone can't place it, it goes through our server to Google's Geocoding API instead, and we don't store or log it.
Advertising ID, ad interactions and diagnosticsCollected by Google's AdMob software inside the app and sent to Google, not to us, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention: your advertising ID and app set ID, your IP address (Google can estimate your general location from it), how you use the ads and the app, and how the app performs. Reset or delete the advertising ID in your device settings.
Saved spots, Recent picks, hidden places and preferencesStored on your device: each place's ID, your notes and marks, and when you picked or hid it. Names, hours and ratings load fresh from Google Maps. The app doesn't store your location or your distance from a place. Uninstalling erases them, unless your phone's backup restores them.
Name, email, contacts, photos, filesNot collected by the app. There's no account, and our server keeps no record of you, only today's totals of searches, typed-address lookups and place details looked up. If you email us, we receive that email.
Food For You contains ads, served by Google AdMob. In the European Economic Area (EEA), UK and Switzerland you're asked for consent before any ad is requested, and can change it any time in Settings, under Ad privacy options.

The things people ask first.

Is it free?

Yes. It's paid for by ads from Google AdMob: small banners, and now and then a full-screen ad between picks. An optional Plus plan, yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase, removes the ads and adds notes on saved spots, a Menu button and been-there marks.

Do I have to share my location?

No. Share it and you get places around you right now; skip it and type an address or pick a spot on the map. Everything works either way, apart from distances.

Is it on other phones?

Not yet. Food For You is on Android only for now, and we're not promising anything beyond that.

How is this different from a maps search?

A maps search hands you a ranked list and leaves the deciding to you. This makes the decision and shows you one place. That's the whole difference.

Where do the restaurants come from?

Google Places, the same Google data that powers Maps, so hours and ratings are Google's own. When Google has no price for a place, we don't guess one.

What if nothing's open?

It tells you. Ask for pizza at 7am and it says nothing's open for pizza near you, rather than quietly handing you something else.

Does it give directions?

Yes: turn-by-turn navigation with voice, inside the app. If you'd rather use Google Maps, that's one tap away too.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no account to make: no sign-up, no email, no password to forget. Open it and it works. What it collects.
