Oh no! On it.
Your friends haven't recommended one yet. Forward my next message to a few who'd know, and I'll bring their recs straight back here.
Hey! Who's your plumber in North Van? Drop it at wombr.com/a/k7x2m9, I trust you more than Google.

How it works

The group chat, minus the scrolling.

1

Text what you need

“Need a plumber in North Van.” The first time, WOMBR asks your friends for you. After that, their answers are saved, so next time your list comes back right away.

2

Forward one link

WOMBR sends you a message to forward to whoever you'd ask. They tap, name who they use, done. They don't sign up for anything.

3

Get one clean list

Your top 3, with who said it and why. It's saved, so next time you need a plumber it's already there.

Pay it forward. When you join, we ask you to add at least one business you'd send a friend to, with one line on why. The more you add, the more useful WOMBR gets for your friends.

Keep your people close. When a friend answers, they can choose to stay in your circle. Their recs then reach you instantly next time, no asking needed. Share yours back with one reply. It's always opt-in, and LEAVE stops it anytime.

A month later we text once: did you hire one, and did it go well? Your answer moves them up or down for the next neighbour who asks. That's the part no review site has.

Why it's hard to fake

Reviews can be bought. Your friends can't.

  • Recs come from people you know.A stranger can't slip onto your list.
  • One person, one voice.Each phone number counts once.
  • Real hires count most.A business moves up when people actually hire them and say it went well a month later, not when someone types their name.
  • Nobody can pay to be on your list.No ads, no boosts, no sponsored spots.
0

contacts uploaded. You forward the ask yourself, so WOMBR never sees your address book.

ways for a business to pay its way onto your list. Only real recommendations put them there.

Your privacy, plainly
  • We never see your contacts.You forward the ask yourself. WOMBR doesn't know who you sent it to.
  • Friends can answer without joining.They tap your link and type who they use. No app, no account, no phone number.
  • Your list is yours.Only you see it. Other neighbours only see a rec if the friend who gave it allows it, and never with a name.
  • No tracking, no ads.No location, no app. We never sell personal information or show you ads.
  • Sharing is always your choice.Nobody's recs reach anyone unless they opt in, and one word, LEAVE, stops it.
