Foursquare for Windows Phone updated, brings new UI to 7.x users

It's been awhile since the official Foursquare app for Windows Phone had an update. In fact, it was manner back in June when we last saw some modest bug fixes come up to the pop checkin app. Since then, we've as well seen the Windows eight version launch with high praise from users.

This morning time, version 3.i.iii.0 has landed and while it brings a few changes to Windows Phone viii users (more on the below), from reader tips we've received, the Windows Phone 7.x version now has the new UI. (We haven't been able to verify since we're out of town, but a few of you tipped us on that fact).

It was in May when the new version of the app launched for Windows Phone 8 users, which brought a new UI. A version for Windows Phone 7.ten with the new UI was promised to go far "a few weeks" later on the re-launch though evidently that did non pan out.

For Windows Phone 8 users, while at that place is no changelog, we can verify a few new layout changes—for amend or worse. Here's what nosotros've noticed:

The 3rd tile under search has changed from 'Saved' to 'Trending'
In the context menu (three dots), 'search' has changed to 'filter'
New – 'All-time Match' characteristic, constitute nether 'Specials' allows you fine tune your suggested checkins

Actually, that 'Best Match' feature is actually adept. It allows you to but show things like 'open now', places where your friends take (or have not) checked in, price ranges and more.

Information technology'south also clear that with the replacement of 'Saved' with 'Trending', Foursquare is continuing to position themselves every bit a discovery application, instead of but a ways for checkins. That'south a business organization decision to help give direction the visitor, though we're sure the ongoing UI changes to forcefulness users to notice new places may irk a few of you.

Regardless, if yous're on whatsoever version of Windows Telephone, you can download the official Foursquare app. The app was designed with help from Nokia, features HERE Maps and is by all accounts, one of the gems on our platform.

Option up version iii.1.three.0 of Foursquare for Windows Telephone here in the Shop. You can also swipe to the correct in our app or browse the QR lawmaking below.

Thanks, Sergio, Matthew and Jack, for the tips!
