Flave is a free iPhone app that allows users to earn rewards by taking photos of their food and drinks from local restaurants. Available to the Greater Baltimore and DC Area, Flave transforms your food photos into gift cards and exclusive deals that can save you money.

To get started, simply download Flave and create an account. Then, whenever you dine in or order takeout/delivery from a local restaurant (defined as less than 7 locations), snap a picture of your food or drink to earn Flave Cash, the in-app currency. You can then spend your Flave Cash on deals within the app's wallet, which includes gift cards to local restaurants, Amazon, and your favorite apparel stores.

One of the key features of Flave is that it does not charge restaurants or users hidden fees, making it a true ally to local businesses. Additionally, the app allows you to find and filter for restaurants that are women-owned, black-owned, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and veteran-owned, so you can support businesses that align with your values.

Flave also offers badges and a leaderboard to enhance your dining experience. As you dine at different restaurants and engage with the app, you can unlock unique badges that align with social categories, dining habits, and anniversaries. These badges can even lead to Flave Cash multipliers. The leaderboard allows you to compete against other Flave users and earn rewards. The top 5 finishers each month are awarded gift cards to a local restaurant of their choice.

In the profile tab, you can view your "Flaver Level" and past visits, making it easy to remember what you ordered at each restaurant. The profile tab also houses your referral code, which is a quick way to earn more Flave Cash.

With Flave, you can not only enjoy delicious food and drinks but also earn rewards and support local businesses at the same time. Download the app today and start snapping photos to unlock exclusive deals and gift cards.
