Foursquare shows off its new look for local searches

Share

The Foursquare faithful have had some time to get used social venue tracker’s Swarm option for sorting check-ins, as the outfit jettisoned the activity to a second app. Folks who didn’t want to give up the OG method were still able to tally stops, but now the redesigned search-focused software is imminent. As of tomorrow, you’ll have to use Swarm for all check-ins, and Foursquare claims that about 75 percent of your fellow users have already made the leap. What’s more, the company has a new logo to go along with the upcoming app that it’s teasing as well. Once you pipe in info on your personal tastes, follow a few experts and make a few stops, the new Foursquare will learn about your delicate sensibilities and make recommendations based on the gathered info. However, you don’t need to have Swarm installed to make use of the original app’s new focus on “personalized local search.” As you can see in the screenshots above, the directory will offer to hop over for a check-in — if you’ve installed both applications, of course. Unfortunately, there’s no date for the official arrival, but the announcement claims you’ll be leveraging the tidied up ratings and tips “really soon.”
