What is Whatabout?

It’s the new way to browse, shop and make decisions. We’re taking the existing, frequent and widespread frustration of mining friends, social networks, and the internet for answers, and condensing it into one curated, actionable experience.

It’s the wisdom of a group text organized & categorized in the most useful way

It’s the insight of an influencer reinforced by people you truly trust

It’s the speed of a search engine, but you are in control of your algorithm

Get real recs from
real friends.
