Real-time city discovery platform
Skorch is a location-based social platform that helps people discover the most popular bars, restaurants, and venues in real time. By combining live activity signals, social content, and location data, the app recommends trending places, notifies users when hotspots emerge, and makes it easy to explore what's happening nearby.
The problem
Finding great places was mostly guesswork
People relied on static reviews, outdated rankings, or word of mouth to decide where to go. Existing discovery apps couldn't reflect what was happening in real time, making it difficult to find lively venues, trending locations, or discover new places as activity changed throughout the day.
The solution
Real-time venue discovery
The platform continuously analyzes live activity to surface the city's most active bars, restaurants, and venues.
Intelligent ranking engine
A dynamic scoring system combines multiple data signals to identify trending locations instead of relying on static reviews.
Multi-source location data
Venue information is enriched through integrations with services including Foursquare, Google Places, Instagram, Twitter, and Factual.
Personalized search
Powerful search and discovery tools help users quickly find places by name, category, popularity, or nearby activity.
Social engagement
Users can post updates, upload photos, comment, follow places, and interact with a live community feed.
Smart notifications
Push notifications alert users when venues begin trending or when activity increases around places they follow.
