Just visit app.pickafav.com and sign in with your Google account. Pick a category and start choosing your favorites!

Is PickAFav™ really free?

⚖️ Voting Rules

How many times can I vote on the same pair?

Once per pair, period. This keeps results fair and meaningful—every vote represents a real person's preference.

Can I change my vote?

Nope! We believe first instincts reveal true preferences. Once you pick, that's your contribution to the global picture.

What if I accidentally vote?

All votes are final. Take your time with each choice—that's the beauty of knowing what you really prefer.

Can I skip pairs I don't care about?

Absolutely! Only vote on pairs where you have a genuine preference. Quality over quantity.

📊 Results & Timeline

When can I see results?

Results will be available once we have enough meaningful votes across all categories. We're building something worth waiting for—real insights from a diverse global community! See what's coming and learn more about our approach to reliable results.

How many votes are needed?

We're aiming for broad participation across all categories before revealing results. This ensures you see genuine global preferences, not just early adopter bias.

Will I see how I compared to others?

Yes! When results launch, you'll see your personal picks compared to global preferences. Prepare for some surprises.

How often will results update?

Once live, results will update regularly to reflect new votes and evolving preferences.

🎯 Content & Curation

Why these specific pairs?

We curate pairs that spark genuine debate and reveal interesting preferences. The goal is meaningful choices, not obvious ones.

Why isn't [obvious choice] included?

We can't include everything! We focus on pairs that create interesting conversations and surprising results. Some "obvious" matchups might be too one-sided to be fun.

Can I suggest new pairs?

We love suggestions! Contact us with your ideas. Popular suggestions that fit our curated categories may be added for everyone. For personalized pairs or custom categories, we're exploring premium features that would let you create your own voting experiences.

How do you choose categories?

Our 9 categories cover the big areas where people have strong preferences—from daily choices like Coffee vs Tea to bigger life questions.

🔒 Privacy & Security

What data do you collect?

Just your email (via Google sign-in) and voting choices. We use this to prevent duplicate voting and generate anonymous results. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Are my votes private?

Your individual votes are never shared publicly. Results are anonymous and aggregated—no one can see how you personally voted.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, contact us to delete your account and data.
