Launched by British digital entrepreneur Glynn Jones in December 2012, Scoopt is a mobile app for iPhone and Android phones (available from Apple’s App Store and Google Play) that connects experience hunters with their favorite friends and allows them to recommend their favorite places worldwide. When you’re looking for a new restaurant, the best place to Scoopt, or even just a nice quiet space, you just want to find the right place fast at home or abroad, Scoopt unlocks the unknown by helping close friends share the places they love, trust and recommend.
