Pickat SG

Hi readers, I chance upon this app called Pickat. Found out it's a great app to find out new eateries. Downloaded it and here's my small review.

What is Pickat?

It's a Location Based Social Application that allows easy Discovery, Creating and Sharing of interesting places.

Why do you use it?

Let's say you live in the Tampines and you went to Ang Mo Kio for shopping. When you start to become hungry, you are not sure what to eat. Easy, use the app to help you look for places to eat according to your craving at that time.
It also allows you to look for great places that are near you that you may not know they even existed, it allows you to do review of places, share it with friends, and best of all it has this coupon function which allows you to get discount and great deals. Below is one such offer:

Currently, SK Planet is working with some favourite local eateries to bring you discounts! In the application, there is a “COUPON” tab where you can check out the latest coupons and discounts deals around you while on the go.

From 20 to 30 June, enjoy a free drink at Ya Kun. Just download the app, download the coupon & show it to Yakun counter staff.

Click “DOWNLOAD” coupon and “REDEEM” the coupon only at Ya Kun stores. You get a FREE YA KUN ICED COFFEE OR TEA! Just present this coupon to the staff. This coupon is valid for all 39 Yakun stores, except Takashimaya and Far East Square Ya Kun Stores. Limited to one redemption per user. **Coupon can only be redeemed by Ya Kun staff**

How to Use the App?

You use it by creating themes and "Pick"ing the places that you like. You may then share it on social platforms. You can also use it to search other users Themes or Picks, and even follow them and let them intro interesting places to you.


What is a Theme?

A theme is a label, experience or the perspectives we have of a particular place. Basically I have a few themes: Ahungrysingaporean Top 10 which features all my favourite food. Local food all in 1 place which features the best of local food in Singapore. Other themes like Dim Sum Galore and Steamboat Haven are other themes which I have.

What is a Pick?

Well a "Pick" is Pickat's version of a post, tweet or check-in. A pick is made whenever you create a theme for a Place or Place of Interest. A pick is also when you add POIs to an existing theme. Below is my small guide to making a pick.

First download the app from either Apple Store (Click Here) or Google Playstore (Click Here) and click the app on your phone
