Foursquare 4.0.1.0
One of the most well-known services of this kind is Foursquare and the official client for Windows Phone can help you see what your friends are doing, what places they are visiting so you can exchange impressions and meet.
Professional looking interface, with a smooth and easy to use layout
This application has a really nicely designed GUI, with beautiful graphics and high-quality pictures, while also managing to offer a very good organization of the content.
The functions are all at hand, easy to reach and put to work, while the navigation through the list of places and inside other areas of the application is fluent and without any glitches. Moving around the map is also effortless, so the whole experience seems really nice.
Quick search with detailed information about the locations
Should you want to find a specific place that doesn't appear in the list displayed in the main screen you can use the dedicated search that is readily available.
To see more about the locations shown in the results list, you can tap them and open the detailed information area, view the contact possibilities, read tips form other users and check out photos of the place if any are available.
Activity tracker and profile details at a glance
With Foursquare you can retrace your steps and view the recent activity from the dedicated section of the app. Reviewing those places will also show the score obtained for checking-in a while back. Inside your profile area you can see all the details of your activity in the last 7 days, the check-ins, achievements, tips and friends' activity as well.
In case you want to keep your favorite places closer and make them accessible from the Start screen, you have the possibility to pin them with a single tap and have them displayed in there.
