Foursquare gets minor improvements on iPhone and Android
One of the best-known and most charismatic social networks decides to give a little touch to its applications to smartphones and tablets We refer to the most useful tool to discover our surroundings , always know where to have a drink, dine out or visit anywhere: FoursquareSomething that continues to offer, but in updated and improved applications, both for Android and for iPhoneHowever, these updates do not share new features, focusing on improving the version of each platform.
Thus, starting with the news for iPhone and iPad, we must talk about small brushstrokes that improve the functioning and visual aspect of the application. Note a slight change in the appearance of the news screen, which now looks cleaner and simplerEven more so at the top of the screen, a place intended to show the check-ins A matter that may seem trivial, but it improves the navigation through this application, making the user not feel overwhelmed by the number of options, boxes and buttons.
We also found a slight visual change on the screens of places with related companies, which now show their own LogoA space that was previously dedicated to the icon of the category of the place, gaining in color and allowing the user to recognize the company with a single glance. In addition, according to the list of new features, and as usual in updates, we wanted to improve the general functioning of the application, trying to reducing load times, and eliminating bugs and bugs found in older versions.
Somewhat different are the news that we find for Android First of all, the page of photos of places This allows you to navigate in a more comfortable and agile between the different images, being able to know when and through what device they were taken. Also tweaked the function of log in to Facebook to share on this social network all our movements of FoursquareIn fact, now a simple touch of the screen allows us to sign quickly, reducing waiting time and the need to enter all our user data.

More interesting is the possibility to mark duplicate places to avoid confusion. Thus, we can let the people of Foursquare know if there is the same place represented by several places to Check-in To do this, once we access the Check-in screen, we have to perform a long press on any option from the list of places. This will pop up a window with the Mark duplicates option, allowing us to mark those duplicate places.
In short, these are minor updates, with changes that are neither surprising nor innovative, although they are useful for most loyal users to this application.Both version 5.2.3 of iPhone and iPad, and version 2012.08.21 for Android can now be fully downloaded free You can find them at App Store and in Google Play,respectively.
