App Dev Company United

We build small, focused iPhone apps for people who like to keep track of the things they love — and would rather rank them than rate them. Head-to-head comparisons decide the order; the scores follow. No ads, and no feed full of strangers unless you want one.

Our apps

BellHop — Stay. Rank. Repeat.

Every hotel you stay at, ranked. Compare stays head-to-head to build your personal hotel leaderboard, add notes and photos to each stay, follow friends to see how they ranked the same hotels, and keep a wishlist for your next trip. Free on the App Store.

Scene — Movies & Shows, Ranked

Rank the movies and shows you've watched. Say whether you loved a title, thought it was fine, or didn't like it, pick between it and a few you've already ranked, and your list builds itself — with a score for every title. Follow friends, keep a watchlist, and see what members are ranking.

How our ranking works

Star ratings are hard to keep honest — is this a 7 or an 8? Our apps ask an easier question instead: of these two, which did you prefer? A handful of head-to-head picks places a new title or hotel in your list, and its score follows from its position. Change your mind later and the list adjusts. You end up with an ordered list you actually agree with, rather than a pile of near-identical ratings.
