The most useful social network for learning about our environment receives a new update As it cannot be otherwise, we are talking about Foursquare, which is launching a version for both the Apple platform as for Android Thus we find ourselves with some old news that return for popular request and other truly genuine points that offer more possibilities to users who want to find and book a restaurantwithout switching applications.
Starting with the version 5.3 for iPhone and iPad, which is the one that brings the most novelties, we must talk about the support for the new iOS 6 operating system and its adaptation to the newly released screen iPhone 5 As you know, this screen is now four inches, increasing in length, so a small redesign is necessary of the contents to take advantage of the new size. Apart from this, we found very useful functions focused on making it easier to find places
In this way, we find a new layout in the tab Exploreto locate what we are looking for more comfortably and quickly. Filters and Search are now at the top for instant access to these options, and more types are suggested of placesIn addition, filters are released as places you've never been, places visited by your friends, places already visited or those that have been saved by the user himself A fasterway of finding where to go according to the desired criteria.
In addition, there is a new button on the restaurant information pages through which we can make a reservation A matter that is possible thanks to the tool OpenTable, which offers this service. And, if we don't know how to get to that place, we can always take the risk of using theApple MapsTurn-by-Turn Navigation, as it dispenses with Google Maps on this platform to be based only on those of the apple company.
Regarding the version for devices with operating system Android, numbered as 2012.09.25 , we must talk about old news already seen in the previous update for the platform iOS Thus, we see that return several options to the Activity tab With them we can filter all the news to find out what our closest friends are doing A social history has also been included on the pages of places, knowing if have been visited by our friends and contacts, if they liked it and how many times have they gone
