Rank every city you've been.

Two places at a time. Pick one. Your list orders itself, and every place earns a score out of 10. That's desti, the free iPhone app for ranking the cities and national parks you've visited and finding where to go next.

1 How ranking works

  1. Pick a place you've been. Any city or national park, anywhere on Earth.
  2. Say how it was. Tap "I liked it," "It was fine" or "I didn't like it."
  3. Choose between two. Desti puts it head to head with places you felt the same way about, one pair at a time, until it lands in its spot.
  4. Get your score. Your list orders itself, and every place earns a score out of 10. Scores unlock once you've ranked five places. Changed your mind? Re-rank it from the place's page.

2 Why picks instead of stars

Stars grade each place on its own, and five of them run out fast: the places you loved end up tied at the top. A head-to-head pick asks something easier to answer: Paris or Rome? Each answer is small, but together they put your whole list in order, and no two places share a spot. Your list is earned, not vibes.

3 What your rankings do for you

  • Explore recommends where to go next from your own rankings and from people whose taste matches yours, and shows you why each place is there.
  • Saved posts: share the Instagram and TikTok posts that put a place on your radar onto the place itself, so they're waiting when you plan instead of buried in your DMs.
  • Friends: follow friends to see their real rankings and your Taste Match. A high Taste Match means their 9 is probably your 9.
  • Map: see everywhere you've been, each pin with its score, and everywhere you still want to go.
