The 5 best places.
Nothing more.
Tell Burge what you're in the mood for and where. It weighs every rating against how many people stand behind it, then hands you the five best places nearby — ranked.
We'll email you a TestFlight link to join.
Why Burge
Less scrolling. Better choices.
Map apps show you hundreds of pins and leave the hard part to you. Burge does the hard part: it filters out the noise so you can decide in seconds.
Five, not five hundred
No endless lists to wade through. You get the five strongest options for what you asked — and nothing else.
Stars with context
A 4.9 from 90 reviews and a 4.8 from 10,000 aren’t the same thing. Burge knows the difference.
From pick to go
Hours, address and top reviews at a glance — then one tap to directions in Google Maps.
How it works
Three steps to somewhere good.
Say what you’re after
Cocktails, sushi, kebab — type anything. Use your location or any neighbourhood, and pick how far you’ll go.
Get the five best, ranked
Rating, distance and type on every card. Closed places are flagged, so you never make the trip for nothing.
Go
Open a place for hours, address and reviews. One tap opens directions in Google Maps.
Place information shown in the app comes from Google Maps.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Burge It: hidden gems
Newly opened, highly rated, not famous yet. Swipe through spots near you that a normal search would filter out.
Liked places
Tap the heart to save a place for later. Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your list on every device.
Never miss a good place
At home or on the road, Burge finds the best spots around you in seconds.
How we rank
Stars alone don’t tell the whole story.
Burge doesn’t just sort by rating. It asks how much each rating can be trusted.
Built on real reviews
Results are ranked by what real visitors say — no ads, no sponsored spots.
Ratings with context
A rating means more when lots of people agree. Burge weighs both, so a long record of happy visitors beats a lucky streak.

- #2Café A
The 4.8 backed by 10,000 reviews ranks above the 4.9 backed by 90.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why only five places?
Because more options don’t make better decisions. Five right places are enough to compare and few enough to choose quickly.
Where does Burge work?
Wherever Google Maps has places. Type any city or neighbourhood, or use your current location.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Burge as a guest. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional and keeps your liked places in sync across devices.
How do I join the beta?
Request access on this page. We’ll email you an invite to install Burge through Apple’s TestFlight app.
Is Burge available on Android?
Android is on its way — we’ll start testing very soon.
Where does the place data come from?
From Google Maps. Burge reads ratings, review counts and opening hours, then ranks the results with its own method. Burge is an independent project and isn’t affiliated with Google.
