Former Microsoft executive Fritz Lanman has launched Livestar, a an iOS app intended to supply “trusted” recommendations for restaurants, movies and music.
While the app currently only offers three categories of recommendations, Lanman hopes to expand to “wine, clothing, books, bars, hotels, and shows,” reports TechCrunch.
“We can just keep turning on more and more categories, just like Amazon did, using the same infrastructure/architecture,” explains Lanman.
Users access Livestar through their Facebook login and can access their friends’ reviews. Livestar also allows users to refine searches using keywords to better define categories.
“Livestar pre-computes restaurants your friends are likely to recommend, simplifying the process even further,” notes the post. “If a friend’s recommendation isn’t pre-populated, Livestar lets them enter it in.”
