Smakoon

If you've ever been in the situation where you want to go out, but are maybe new in the neighborhood and haven't the slightest idea where the closest pub is, then you know how handy a map of the local sights can be. Smakoon is more than a map: it's an interactive application that shows you the location of all restaurants, bars, and pubs near you.

One key feature is the database it has, comprising hundreds of thousands of restaurants from all over the world. It doesn't matter if you are looking for the fanciest French restaurant in New York or just your typical remote Irish pub, this application can find them. All you have to do is enable your location services on your device, and the program will use those coordinates to pinpoint the closest hangouts.

Once all points of interest are discovered, you may choose to see them all in either a list or on the map. The map itself is worldwide and thus can be zoomed out indefinitely, so you will not be limited to looking for restaurants within a limited radius near your location.

Visually, the program impresses with its versatility, as the GUI (Graphical User Interface) adapts to all screen sizes, be it normal or wide screen desktop monitors, or mobile device screens. Another great feature is that you can customize the way the app looks and feels using the themes: either make it match your system theme or use the built-in light or dark theme.

One thing worth mentioning is that the program does not have any offline stored maps or locations, so a constant Internet connection is required even to launch.

Whether you want to go on a date at a fancy restaurant or hang with your friends at your local pub, Smakoon is useful if you run out of ideas about where to go or to discover new places.
