What is FlyFeel?
FlyFeel is designed to give you on-point, real-time information about places and cities across the globe, which you can use to make better decisions about where and when to go out or take trips.
To come up with this information, we don't leverage passive likes or check-ins from other networks or rely on arbitrary 5-star reviews. We get our info straight from the crowds of people that are there at these places at this moment.
When you're out and in the mix, share how you feel about the atmosphere and the crowd you're in. You decide if a place stands up to the best ones in the city and meets your personal standards. Together we can figure out what places are really like right now and take the guessing out of finding and living out the perfect day or night.

What is the Skyline?
The Skyline shows you how the places in your city compare to each other in real-time. Each tower represents a particular place. The height of a tower is determined by its aggregate rating. If a tower is high, it means that people are really feeling that place right now.
To check out a place in more detail, tap a tower to open up that place's page and look at recent ratings, comments and pictures.
All the ratings you make yourself are instantly added to the Skyline of the city you’re currently in -- it rises and falls with your input, so take pride in the fact that you're voice counts.

Where can I use FlyFeel?
FlyFeel can be used at any type of place -- bars, restaurants, clubs, hotels, parks, gyms, cafes, stores, stadiums, art galleries, concert halls colleges -- anywhere you go. By utilizing Google's extensive Places API, FlyFeel users have the ability to rate an incredible amount of places in cities and countries across the world.
Keep in mind though you can only rate places when you’re ON-LOCATION. This keeps FF's information current and reliable and keeps opinions from people who aren’t actually out right now or have never even been to a place from messing with the credibility of the information. So if you want to rate how awesome chilling on the quad at your college is, what is feels like to enjoy a breathtaking view from your hotel balcony with your friends or what the experience of getting bottle service at a choice new lounge is like, you have to be there and live it to share it.

How is a place's aggregate rating determined?
In order to give you the most reliable and current idea of what a place is like and how it compares to others at this moment, aggregate ratings reflect the opinions of people who are out at places right now. Basically, it's a representation of the real community that frequents that place.
