This has been confirmed after the conferences BUILD 2013 of Microsoftthat took place yesterday in United States And the fact is that Foursquare seems to be determined to get a also on tablets, and not just on Microsoft However, this time would be the first to create a completely new application for terminals on big screen and, therefore, Seen in conference footage, featuring an attractive and eye-catching visual design that blends perfectly with the home screen Windows 8
For now little is known about this application, only how it seems that it will look thanks to different images and videos that have transcended the conference. However, it is not yet known the official arrival date or if it will have any exclusive featuresor specially developed to take advantage of the tablet screen. What we can already know is that its design will be the characteristic note, seeing Foursquare like never before, eliminating the wall or timeline for a succession of windows in horizontal format with all the information the user may need.
Thus, it is possible to see that the image and tiles features of this operating system will be predominant in the new application of Foursquare and through all its menus.Apparently, just start the application and move to the right to see the last Check-ins made and the activity carried out by friends. Clicking on any image or activity will take you to a new screen with more details about the record, new images, a map, information of place and figures about the number of Check-ins and who has been there. All dotted with tiles where read comments, with photosof users, etc.
In addition, as can be seen in the video, other already classic functions are still present, such as lists, being able to make someappear toolbars where to add a place to said lists, search, comment, rate and, of course, , be able to do Check-in
This is a risky bet on the part of Foursquare, and we must not lose sight of the fact that it is asocial network to record the passage of users through premises, done comfortably thanks to a smartphoneHowever, it is unlikely that users will be on the move as often carrying their Windows 8 tablet, going to bars or restaurants and taking out the device at all times to do Check-in or comment and assess the place However, according to those responsible for Foursquare, this tool is being used more and more to find places to go, this version for tablets being able to serve as a complete and comfortable search window
For the moment we will have to wait to find out the arrival date of Foursquare for Windows 8, although some media say that it will be soon Now there is no doubt if Foursquare will continue to work and modify the appearance of its application for Android tablets, the first version for these large screen devices that this is not a rescaling of the smartphone appAnd even more so, if iPad users will finally have a completely new version available to them.
