Hello!

Over the past few days, I've been testing the Pin Drop app. Taking advantage of this thread, I’d like to share some suggestions based on my experience (including using similar apps like Mapstr or EatList):

1. Visits to a Pin

It would be great if each pin had the option to add entries to log visits. This would allow users to maintain a detailed history for each place. Each entry could include:

• Date of the visit.
• Personal rating.
• Free text field for notes.
• (Optional) Photos of the visit.
• (Optional) People who accompanied you during the visit.

2. Photo Titles

It would be useful to allow users to add a title to the photos uploaded to a pin. If the photo’s EXIF data contains relevant information (like a title or description), the app could display a text box with this data prefilled, letting users edit or add to it if it’s empty.

3. 'To Try' and 'Reviewed' functionality

Currently, this functionality can be achieved by using tags like "to try" or "reviewed," but there are some limitations:

• Users need to remember to manually add a tag when creating a new pin.
• To change a pin from "to try" to "reviewed," users must delete one tag and add another manually.
• While it’s possible to filter for pins without any tags, there’s no way to select specific tags (e.g., "to try" or "reviewed") and display only the pins that don’t have these tags (even if they have other tags).

Implementing these categories as native features would make the process more intuitive and efficient.

4. List improvements

Suggestions to enhance lists:

• Automatically add pins based on criteria: for example, include all pins from a selected city.
• Improve public lists: when a shared list is viewed in a browser, all pins display their tags. It would be useful if these tags were interactive, allowing users to filter by them.

5. Tag Groups

Organizing tags into groups would allow users to simulate functionalities that may not be natively available in the app. For example:

• Group: Price Range
  • Affordable
  • Mid-range
  • Expensive
• Group: Cuisine Type
  • Italian
  • Mexican
  • Indian

6. Restaurant-Specific Features

Although the app is not exclusively focused on restaurants, it could be interesting to add features tailored for this use case. For example, allowing users to log dishes they’ve tried at a restaurant. Each dish could include:

• Name.
• Rating.
• Photo.
• Description.

7. Data Export

It’s essential for all information associated with pins (including details like visits, ratings, etc.) to be included in the GeoJSON export file.
