Hey Erasmus University students, where would you rather eat? I built something for you. (Updated!)

Hey r/ ErasmusUniversity,

I’ve mapped out Rotterdam’s dining scene in an app I built called Vota. The idea is simple: you see two restaurants side by side, pick the one you prefer, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the smarter the list becomes.

You could, for example, compare FG Restaurant with By Jarmusch – two completely different experiences, but over time, even places that are worlds apart naturally find their true level in the ranking.

No fake reviews. No influencers. No ads. No AI-generated text. Just real votes from real people who actually eat here. No Tripadvisor noise, no Google clutter – just clean, honest comparisons.

The app is free, doesn’t require registration, and collects no personal data.
Here’s the iPhone version:

And here’s the Android version, since a lot of you asked for it:

P.S. I’m not from the Netherlands (I live in Gothenburg). I don’t collect data, sell anything, or use AI content inside the app. The restaurants above are just examples, chosen with a bit of AI help. I’d love to see how you — Erasmus University students — would rank your favorite cafés, lunch spots, and restaurants around Rotterdam. I’m posting in other university communities too – just so you know :)
