The world of food is not just tasty - it incorporates a variety of multifaceted, deep rooted and rich cuisines that are individualized according to a person's background and preferences. dishPal is a fun and easy way for people to share what they are currently biting into or drooling over, as well as provide an outlet for them to express their unique food persona. The social networking facet of dishPal creates an environment where all the distinctive palates using the app can mingle in a way that will evolve individual tastes and possibly evoke change in food trends on a larger scale.
Food has a lasting effect on our culture and society. In fact, The United States Department of Agriculture notes a typical person will spend over 6 hours a day eating, drinking and partaking in associated activates such as meal preparation. While it may seem a trivial fact, the time we dedicate to food exposes how it influences us on even a day-to-day basis. dishPal utilizes the smartphone to connect people who love food, enabling them to share their food experiences and providing them with a channel to explore the food cultures of others.
dishPal incorporates a variety of features including potlucks, magazines and tagging capabilities - making dish sharing stimulating and social. Any user can create a themed potluck for dishPal friends and foodies to join and contribute to within the app. Whether the potluck theme is vegetarian delights or holiday cuisine, the result is a mixture of everyone's favorite dishes that adhere to a pre-established and shared cuisine interest. Users also have the opportunity to customize virtual dishPal magazines that only they can post dishes in, allowing users to highlight their individual tastes.
Pricing and Availability
dishPal is a free Android and iOS app available immediately at the Apple App Store and the Android Market.
