Overview
Glasskartan started as a simple idea: make it easy to find great ice cream anywhere in Sweden. It grew into a full community-driven platform where users share photos, rate shops, and leave reviews — while business owners manage their own listings with real-time opening hours, flavor menus, and push notifications. The app reached Top 10 in Food & Drink on the iOS App Store in its first summer.
Glasskartan is a crowd-sourced ice cream map app for Sweden. Users discover ice cream shops, gelaterias, and kiosks nearby — browsing flavors, toppings, opening hours, user photos, and reviews. Business owners can register for free to manage their presence, send push notifications, and reach new customers directly through the platform.
