When you get out of your own
locality for business trips or leisure trips, no matter whatever purpose it may
be or wherever you go, you always need a guide to find out the spots to eat,
shop and visit around. When in less familiar places or places you have never been,
it will never be a tough task for you to meet your requirements with the advent
of digital guides and the most preferable guide will be the all-in-one
Foursquare City Guide mobile app.
Foursquare City Guide app
never fails to fulfill your requirement of finding out ideal spots to eat like
a local, shop like a freak and explore the best of the world. Foursquare is
designed to be an extensive directory that embraces information about huge
number of restaurants, bars, shopping stores, recreational centers and finest
sightseeing destinations that will be helpful for travelers and tourists.
Foursquare City Guide mobile
app works on the basis of observing the users likes and interests and will show
recommendations of places accordingly. To begin with Foursquare City Guide mobile
app, you can even login with your Facebook login details. Initially, the app
will prompt you to check mark your taste and preferences among the shown
options regarding varieties of food, shopping, ambience of restaurants, your
choice of leisure activities and so on. You can also search for options that
you don't see there. Utilizing the information provided by you, Foursquare mobile
app will hunt out places nearby your location that suits your taste and
preferences. You can go and edit your predetermined interests at any point of
time.
Once you logged in, the
discovery screen with a search bar at the top and a range of recommendations of
hotels, coffee shops, bars, pubs, gyms, yoga studios, speciality clothing stores,
clubs, spas and many more will be seen.
The earlier version of Foursquare mobile app shows you almost every
place’s nearby your location. But now the app being upgraded, it shows you
recommendations of places which are categorized by interests of the users,
suggestions from your searches and keywords which are used by people who are
close to your location.
Even though the app's home
screen helps you find new spots and almost everything you need, you can still
search bar to get to know anything specific you want to visit. The search
results can be filtered according to price and distance. On finding an ideal
choice of spot of your preference, you can tap over it to see the full
specifications of the particular spot like it's working time, availability of
services, menus, address, contact no, pictures and options for payment.
You can even choose to visit
a place based upon the ratings and tips that the other Foursquare community
members who have earlier visited the place. You will also be able to see whether
any of your Foursquare friends have visited the place. But if you try to
check-in when you visit any of the places suggested by Foursquare City Guide,
you will be prompted to sign up with Foursquare Swarm, sibling of Foursquare
City Guide.
A newly added feature in the
upgraded version of Foursquare guide is “What’s good here". This indicates
your current location and suggest you any trending places or not to be missed
places around your location.
With Foursquare City Guide mobile
app, you will also be able to rate and give tips about places you have been to.
And this feature of rating and giving tips comes along with a game factor
called Expertise. For instance, if you give tips for any places and if any
community member finds it useful and drop in a "like” very the app, you
will be earning an expertise badge. Consequently you will be assumed to be a
trusted source for those particular places.
Ultimately Foursquare City
Guide mobile app is a highly reliable and a must-to -have app that has a
detailed database of perfect places to dine in, to shop, to get entertained and
to get relaxed and it does serve to be a handy tool for travelers, tourists and
the locals. But whether the app's services are extended to each nook and corner
of the world is still questionable.
