About Picky App

Picky App is a food discovery app that aims to help users answer the question: “What and Where to eat?” Other than pure food discovery, Picky also lets users share their favourite food finds with the Picky “Snap & Share” function. The function comes with eight photo filters that are optimized for food photography using the iPhone camera, as well as the ability to share the photos onto various social channels. Picky was launched in the App Store in late January, and claims to have over 10,000 restaurant listings in its database. While its traction and total number of downloads are undisclosed, the company has managed to raise a six figure funding from private investors. Picky recently secured a partnership with Rocket Internet backed foodpanda as well as Chope for increased visibility and distribution.
