Foursquare: Global update of the popular service

Yesterday evening, suddenly came the update of one of the most popular social services - Foursquare. The eighth version of the application has been a complete redesign, and all social functions completely removed (responsible for them Swarm from the same developer). Let's see what new we can offer this version.

To begin, we note the appearance. lot of work to change the interface has been done. All menu items, backgrounds and even icon - all updated. It looks like this, I must say, nice and fresh. It has also been added, and new animations that look quite harmoniously with the new design, which changed his light blue colors on a deep dark blue and white.

Releasing this spring Swarm, developers finally moved all social components in a new application, while Foursquare has taken over the job of an advisory nature. When you first launch the menu welcoming you asked to choose keywords and phrases that may interest you most often. For example: a night club, restaurant, spa - all known for interesting objects you will be in the future taken into account in the search results when you use the app to search for points of interest nearby.

In the main menu interface is divided into two parts: the top card is available in the event, if you are in an unknown area or another the city, and just below - the recommendation to visit nearby places, which are based on your preferences, selected at startup Foursquare. All establishments are sorted by distance from your location, but you can ask yourself are interested in filters, for example, prices in establishments or more unusual - "to start up with the dog."

All the places you can save in your personal lists, as well as to assess their quality (it is available in the Swarm). However, add a photo or institution to make "Chekin" in the new Foursquare has not come out, only in the Swarm. But if you find inaccuracies in the description of the place where the hit (or is absent), it is possible to change or add. After verifying the description of the moderators, they will be accepted.

profile settings have not changed. Now you can manually add your preferences, if you have not done this in the beginning, or remembered something else. By and large, the eighth version of Foursquare - is the last step in the distribution of services in its place. Swarm is now used as an "application for Chekina" than was originally Foursquare, Foursquare and he is only advisory in nature. And it seems to me, they both work will only get better and more comfortable. Developers do not have to put all your eggs in one basket - and rightly so.

And how do you a new Foursquare? Will be missed "Chekina" in the application or you have long switched to the Swarm?
