★ Best of anything & everything

The best of everything, rated by members. Never sponsored.

TopShelf is where members build the recommendations. Submit a movie, a book, a restaurant, an app or a trip, and other members add reviews and star ratings. Those ratings build community-ranked lists, and every rating comes from a real member, not a sponsored placement.

    The problem

    “Best of” lists stopped meaning best.

    You look for a recommendation and get a ranking someone paid for.

    Sponsored

    Pay to place

    The top spot often goes to whoever paid for it, and the label is tiny or missing.

    Affiliate

    Written to sell

    “Top 10” articles picked for their commission links, not because anyone used the thing.

    Ratings from nowhere

    Stars from accounts you can't see or trust. Who actually rated this?

    What you get

    Lists you can trust, built by members.

    Reviews & star ratings

    Members rate and review what they've actually watched, read, eaten, used or visited.

    Community-ranked lists

    Ratings build the ranking. As members rate, the list re-orders itself.

    Duplicate check first

    Submit a title, place or product, and TopShelf checks it isn't already there, so ratings don't get split.

    Artwork, automatically

    For supported categories, entries pick up artwork on their own, like movie posters and book covers.

    Categories for everything

    Movies & Shows, Books, Food & Restaurants, Apps & Tools, Travel and more.

    Questions

    Before you rate

    Is TopShelf free?

    Yes. Browsing, rating, reviewing and submitting entries are free with a free miSocial account.

    Can businesses pay to rank higher?

    No. There are no sponsored placements. Every rating comes from a real member, and the ranking comes from those ratings.

    How is the order decided?

    By member star ratings. As more members rate an entry, its place on the list updates.

    What happens if I submit something that's already listed?

    TopShelf runs a duplicate check first. If it's already there, you'll be pointed to the existing entry so you can rate and review it instead.

    Where does the artwork come from?

    For supported categories, such as movies and books, TopShelf adds artwork like posters and covers automatically. The artwork on this page is placeholder art.

    Which categories are there?

    Movies & Shows, Books, Food & Restaurants, Apps & Tools, Travel and more.

    Can I list my own business?

    You can submit it like anyone else, but it only climbs if other members rate it well. There's no way to buy your way up.
