You can define who can see your individual tip or list – set it to private, for friends only, accessible by followers or visible to everybody.
During the creation of a myLike or a list the screen below appears where you can define the visibility. You can change this anytime.
For example, you can memorize places privately (e.g. for travel planning) and once you have been there and enriched with your own experiences, you can make it visibility for others.
You decide who can give tips to your guests. You might prefer that all tips are only visible under your hotels name. Or you might want your staff to provide their specific view on what are the hippest places to your guests. You can even go a step further – why not invite local people to add to your tips, or your own guests?
Your customers, guests and audience can now experience your tips right on their browser as Progressive Web App (PWA) without he need to download the myLike App as.
If they click on one of your follow invitations, shared links or ‘Get these tips’ on your interactive maps on your website they have now the option to either use myLike on their browser or download the myLike app.
Mobile Use:
If the user opens a link on his mobile device he can decide to either continue as guest (Guest Mode) or load the myLike app. Using the guest mode restricts the user to the viewing mode, he cannot add own content or share content. As a guest he can see what you released to your followers.
The welcome screen displays your logo (you can set them in your profile settings in the dashboard) so you are easily recognized as the inviting party.
The next screen opens then depending on the link you provided:
- Link to a list – the list logo is displayed in the right top corner as source
- Follow invite – your avatar is displayed as source
- Single myLike – the myLike opens in its detail view
- Link from an interactive map – opens the like the link to a list
Functional limitations:
In guest mode, users are logged in as generic guests (with follower status). This allows them to see all your tips that are released for followers. However, they cannot save tips themselves, create lists or share them with others. For this purpose they must create their own accounts.
Save Guest Mode on mobile phone’s home screen:
Your customers can save the Guest-View right on their home screen as an icon. They will be triggered to do os but they can do this also manually any time later.
Desktop:
If the user opens your links on the desktop, he can either send a link to his smartphone himself or use your tips directly on the desktop where myLike gets emulated as PWA.
The Map Widget comes with the Mobile Concierge, Digital Travel Guide and Blogger Tool for free.
It allows you to add very easily interactive maps to your website, blog, info terminal, apps or room pads and customize them to your CI (Corporate Identity). You can generate these individual maps in the business dashboard out of lists you created in myLike. Here you find the instructions how to create your first interactive map.
The benefit of the myLike interactive maps is that website visitors (desktop or mobile) or system users can now sync your tips from your website or system with their smart phone with just one click. So your inspirational content is now ready ‘to-go’ and easy to experience. This bridges the media gap between website and mobile devices and will generate more traffic and interaction on your website and content.
As for businesses we offer the Guest Mode, there is also no need for your customers to load an app.
Another great benefit is that changes on your individual tips and lists are automatically update on the interactive maps and at the same time on the smart phone of your customers, guests or audience.

What is a tour – compared to a list
In myLike you can now easily create tours to
- use them for travel planning,
- save them as a memory for a great trip or
- share them with friends, followers or customers as inspiration.
The idea is that a tour
- sequentially represents successive places and – if you want – visually connects them by lines.
(Examples: if you are planning a trip through the USA and always want to have the sequence of the planned stations in mind, or if you want to show hotel guests a sequence of places that they can then start / approach as they like)
- a tour is presented as a detailed track and can show places that are on or next to the tour.
(Examples: a hop-on hop-off bus provider can digitally display its bus routes, stops and sights, passengers can track them on their smartphone and always know exactly where they are and what is waiting for them at the next stop. Bike or scooter rental companies can provide the most beautiful routes through the city to their customers. Jogging or hiking paths can be offered by hotels to guests on the go)
tour without lines
tour connected with lines
tour with GPS track
Option 1: Create a new tour
- Go to the <Hamburger Menu> from the main menu
- Click on <Lists/Tours>
- Click the <Add Tour> button
- There you land directly in the edit mode for your tour (you can switch between list and tour)
- Give the tour a name and a short description text
- Now define how you want to connect the points in your tour. The option you have chosen is displayed directly on the map:
- No line – but the places are numbered in the order as you defined in the list
- Straight lines – the individual tips are connected with straight lines in the sequence as you defined in the list
- GPS data – here you can add an existing route (GPX or KML file) to the places of your tour. Your tips do not necessarily have to be on the route, but can represent options (e.g. hotels, campsites, restaurants… along the tour). Here is a tutorial on how to easily create a KML file directly on Google Maps. Alternatively, download it directly as a GPX from your tracking tool and embed it in your tour.
- Define the visibility of your tour (private, friends, followers, everyone). You can change this at any time later again.
- Add an inspiring photo that visually represents your tour by pressing the <Add> button. You can change this at any time
- Press <Done>

Do you have a new spot (= myLike) that you want to add? That’s what the golden ‘+’ in the home screen footer does. Open it by clicking and we support you in creating new myLikes. (See: How can I save a location in myLike?)

Your Widget integrated in your website or systems is very powerful:

- the widget is mobile optimized
Lists are fantastic and very helpful to organize your myLikes (and those of other users) by theme or target group (e.g. ’24 hours in New York’, ‘Activities for kids’, ‘My favorite sushi restaurants’). They also form the basis for our innovative Map Widget, which allows you to convert your lists into interactive maps for your website or blog. You can create as many lists as you like and copy your own myLikes or the myLikes of others into them. You can copy one myLike into several lists.
A list has several characteristics that you can personalize
- Theme list photo – choose a nice one as it will be visible when you split the list
- Name of the list – short but inspiring
- Description of the list – make it exciting for you and others
- Visibility of the list – like a myLike you can define the visibility of a specific list to the outside
You can easily create lists in several ways:
Option 1
- open a myLike and click on <Add to list>
- then you can either add it to an existing list by tapping on it
- or you can create a new one by clicking on <Add List>
Option 2
- Open the hamburger menu on the main map
- Click on <Lists>
- There you will find the button <Add List>
You can then set the name of the list, add a description, set its visibility to others, and add a theme image.
Guests can access your tips via multiple touch-points (website, in-room system, WLAN…) without the need to ask your team. If they need individual advice your team can access and share your tips in a simple and easy way guaranteeing a high quality standard and fast process. This saves you cost and increases your service and quality.
Your guests decide for the region based on what they can do there. Give them an overview before they come, add more personal tips when they book and give them up to date info while they stay at your hotel or after they left – they might want to come back again soon! With myLike you are now part of your guests journey. You are digitally connected with them before, during and after their stay and they will promote you sharing your hotel and the great places they visited based on your tips with their friends. And what is better than a tip from a friend?
myLike is already available in 11 system languages. In addition, you can make your corresponding comment per recommendation in several languages.
Sharing your favorite spots in a controlled manner is one of the great features myLike offers (COPE: create once – provide everywhere). You can do this inside myLike or outside via your favorite communication channels like mail, embedded in your website, as a post in Facebook, via your print material or integrated in 3rd party systems like terminal, room-pads or others.
• Share automatically inside myLike: you can define the visibility of your specific myLike or list while you create or when you edit it. Now users, who have the corresponding relationship with you (friends/follower/world) can see your respective spot and list. Others have no access to your tips. If you set the visibility to ‘me’ nobody else can see it. You can invite friends and customers/guests to have a look at your tips anytime sending them friendship or follow invitation.
• Share actively inside myLike:
Just hit the <share> button on a myLike or list and choose <share inside myLike>.
• Share tips outside myLike via your digital communication channels:
You can share a single myLike or list by sending a link via your favorite communication channel like mail, WhatsApp or others. Simply open the myLike or list and hit the <share> button and then <share outside myLike>. You now can select the channel you want to use or save the link in the clip board to use it later (in the myLike Dashboard you can only save the link to the clipboard and add it to the respective channel you want to send through using CMD+V or Ctrl+V). See graphic below.

If you are using the Mobile Concierge or Digital Travel Guide you can add your comments in multiple languages per single tip. This great for your international customers and guests.
You add to the Default language additional languages.
Default is the language which is always displayed in case there is not other fitting translated language for your customer provided by you.
Example: you want that all your customers/guests see your tips in englisch but the Italians should see it in Italian. Then you add your englisch comments in the Default field and you add Italian as add on language in the additional Italian comment field. Then Italians, using myLike in Italian (one of the languages the system works with), see your Italian comments.
A French or German person using myLike in French or German would get your Englisch comments – as there are no dedicated French and German comments from your side.
- How to add comment languages?: Just click on the plus on the right corner of the comment field and a selection of languages will pop up. You can select multiple.
- Is there an auto translate?: Unfortunately not yet – we recommend www.deepl.com to do your translations.
- My language is not there?: You can always comment in the Default comment field in any language you want. Then you can add comment fields in other languages. If you want a language we do not have in the selection yet please contact us at: support@mylike.io.
- Can I unselect a selected language?: Yes, go to <Hamburger/Settings/Comment languages>, there you can select and unselect languages.

So your private beach stays private or only your friends or selected customers can see specific tips. This means: depended of the relationship you have with a person they can see in myLike the tips and lists released for this level of relationship. You can define this during the creation of a myLike or list or change the setting anytime later again.
‘Me’ – only you can see it, nobody else
‘Friends’ – only you and befriended users can see it
‘Followers’ – you, friends and your followers can see it
‘World’ – everybody in myLike can see the myLike or list
Tip: if you share a myLike or list directly via mail or other communication channels the recipient of this unique link can see it independent of the visibility setting.
