See it in action
Burge in 30 seconds.
From a map full of pins to the five best places nearby.
How it works
Three steps to a good place.
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
Each card shows the rating, distance and type. Closed places are marked, so you don’t go 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.
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 fifty
No long lists to scroll. You get the five best options for your search.
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
See hours, address and top reviews. Get directions in Google Maps with one tap.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Burge It: hidden gems

Never miss a good place
At home or travelling, Burge finds the best places 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 few good reviews can be luck. When many people give a place a high rating, Burge trusts it more.
- #1Café B
- #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?
More options don’t make choosing easier. Five good places are enough to compare and few enough to decide quickly.
Where does Burge work?
Anywhere Google Maps has places. Type a city or neighbourhood, or use your location.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Burge without an account. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional. It keeps your liked places on all your devices.
