In honor of SxSW, Web Conference and the American media which was first announced, yesterday launched Foursquare version 3.0 with recommendations for new places, upgraded user interface and improved access to businesses. The complete guide to everything new in Foursquare 3.0.
Just before the opening of the pants of the largest media and Internet in the United States, SxSW, yesterday announced the location-based social network, Foursquare, the launch of version 3.0 of its application, the Android and iPhone devices. As part of the launch, said the company's CEO, Dennis Crowley, that since Facebook launched the Places service, which is supposed to compete with Foursquare, the number of users of the service by almost 30%. Know what's going on around you
The most significant innovation to notice when you first start the new version of the app is the Explore tab that appears at the bottom of the app, the same place where the Tips tab appeared previously. Using new tab, users can now search for places close to them by cuttings or type of distance, when the results will be ranked depending on the popularity of the place (which is measured by the amount of check-ins took place in), and recommendations from other users. blender 3d
It is noteworthy that in Foursquare select search fields allow food, nightlife, shops and entertainment purposes only and not allowed to search the general blender 3d section. As a result, the new tool can be especially useful when I'm looking for where I wanted to go out at night, but if I was in an unfamiliar environment and I want to go for a run in the park, I can not really check where the closest parks using the tool Foursquare's new Explore.
Nevertheless, the new language certainly provides added value beyond what was available on Foursquare today. blender 3d When you open the Explore tab, we can see a list of the best places in the range of 2 miles from the current location (this is the default, you can change the range up to 10 kilometers blender 3d in steps of 0.25), while for each of them we can see the same screen (without need to click and open another screen) the latest recommendations made friends and Check-in at the same place, including the number of times they were there. In addition, the app displays additional information such as additional locations popular with people who have visited a particular location, the location's popularity level in general, and more, all to help us decide if we want to reach out and visit new places.
Along with the normal display, the map button on right top of the application screen, blender 3d allowing you to view all current listed recommendations which you are viewing, blender 3d on a map in front of your current location, allowing you to better appreciate the possibilities of your arrival to all those places. Upgraded User Interface
Places screen, where we see all locations that are in our environment, the new version has been added to the Specials line appears at the bottom of the screen. Alerts on special offers placements were used to get the previous versions only when we come into the screen of a specific location (so alarm would appear as a button at the top right orange screen). In the new version, the Specials line already appears in the Places tab and click on her own we get a list of all the special offers that are in the area, one scrolling screen.
The profile screen also with the Page Check-in the application, go to a major upgrade of the renewed emphasis centered on the points table of Foursquare. Beyond the issue of the Mayorships (The City), one of the key elements that made the popular Foursquare and help it compete with the competition was competing services and Leaderboard, which allows users to earn points for check-ins in different places and thus compete with their friends for head of the table (although no awards in this competition). The latest versions scoring quite blended into the background and one of the most significant changes in the new version, there was a return of focus and improve the ability to follow up your score.
The user's profile page you can now see your current score without going into a separate table as in the previous versions, along with your relative position along the top table to your friends. In addition, another line was added to the application indicating your points compared to the record of your all time points and makes you even compete with Foursquare yourself. The page also Check-in itself was highlighted again and now you will have to score every Checkin see where you are in the table in relation to your friends and relative to your personal peak.
Quite clear, all user interface, new changes have been introduced to increase the number of users using the application and return the viral and playfulness into Foursquare, as it was in the early days of the application. It is true that the version is out less than a day, but if you ask my opinion, if you installed Foursquare blender 3d and you do occasionally Checkin here and there, not sure that would be precisely the element that will make you do more Checkin. Foursquare for Business
As part of the new version, Foursquare will allow business owners to set up seven different types of "special offers" (Specials) for users of Foursquare blender 3d visitors: Special Offers to Checkin blender 3d (all uses performs Checkin entitled to receive the benefit), special offers blender 3d members (users made their friends Checkin instead eligible for the benefit), special offers for Flashmob (for a predefined blender 3d number blender 3d of users will reach and Checkin. example, the first ten users arrive after 6 pm in the afternoon), special offers for large groups (Swarm), special offers for new customers (Newbie, First time you did Checkin blender 3d in place), special offers Mayors (who holds the title of the Mayor of the place) and special offers repeat customers (Loyalty).
Add the new upgrades to the prominence of UI Specials and you have significantly strengthened the power of Foursquare for business owners. blender 3d Crowley has been refused in the past few suggestions on acquisition of Rest
