Quick Answer: Tap "Create New List" either from the save screen when adding a place, or from the Lists section on your Profile tab.
Overview
Lists are how you organise your saved places on rec'd. You might create lists for different occasions (date nights, brunch spots), areas (East London, Soho), cuisines (best pizza, taco runs), or however else makes sense to you.
There are two ways to create a list — when you're saving a place, or directly from your profile.
Method 1: Create a list while saving a place
This is the quickest way to create a list when you've just found somewhere you want to save.
Step 1: Tap the + button on a venue card
When viewing a restaurant, tap the + button in the top-right corner of the venue card.

Your new list is created and the restaurant is automatically added to it. Tap "Done" to finish saving.
Method 2: Create a list from your profile
Use this method when you want to set up lists before you start adding places, or when you're organising your profile.
Step 1: Go to your profile
Tap the Profile icon in the bottom navigation bar.

Common issues
Problem: "I created a list but can't find it" Solution: Go to Profile and scroll to your Lists section. All your lists appear here. If you still can't see it, try pulling down to refresh.
Problem: "I want to rename or delete a list" Solution: Go to Profile → tap on the list you want to edit → tap the settings or edit icon to rename or delete it.
Problem: "I want to change the order of my lists" Solution: List ordering options may vary — check Profile → Lists for any sorting or reordering options.
Problem: "Can other people see my lists?" Solution: Your lists are visible on your profile by default. If you'd prefer to keep certain lists private, change this setting at list creation or in an existing list.
