Untappd is a geosocial networking service and mobile phone application founded by Greg Avola and Tim Mather that allows its users to check in as they drink beers, and share these check-ins and their locations with their friends.[5] It incorporates aspects of gamification.[6]

Untappd provides a platform for users to rate the beer they are consuming, earn badges, share pictures of their beers, review tap lists from nearby venues, see what beers their friends are drinking, comment on checked-in beers, and ask the app to suggest similar beverages.[7][8] In 2016, an updated version of the application allowed users to find a beer by scanning its barcode[9]

Untappd uses Foursquare for its location services.[10]
