Foursquare releases new version of Android app

PanARMENIAN.Net - Foursquare has just released a new version of its Android application, reintroducing the ‘nearby check-ins from friends’ feature that it brought back to iOS and BlackBerry in August, The Next Web reports.

Foursquare had removed the ‘Nearby Friends’ feature in its recent redesign, but users seemingly missed it a lot, TNW says.

Other new features in the updated Android app include ‘social history’ for venue pages (which lets users see who of their friends visited a certain place, how many times, and if they like or dislike it) and a new “me card” design at the top of the ‘Friends’ tab.

Foursquare added a new notification setting to its check-in system called Always On, which allows users to keep track of friends check-ins at all times, no matter where they are.
