Well, looks like Foursquare has gotten a lot better for both Android and iOS users. Bizzy, the mobile app that lets users recommend places to their friends announced today that it would be joining forces with Foursquare. Bizzy will also bring a ‘Check-Out’ feature, which lets you quickly and easily share your thoughts about the places you visit, immediately available to all of Foursquare’s millions of users.
Highlights of this new update include:
- Once a Bizzy user links their Foursquare account, they’ll be able to quickly go in and check out of the places they’ve recently been by leaving a rating and a quick review.
- When users check in on Foursquare, Bizzy can remind them to check out on Bizzy by sending an alert or reminding them in their news feed. Users can then answer the question “How was it?” for their friends and followers.
- Have a favorite place that you checked in at in the past? No worries! Bizzy allows you to roll over the places you’ve visited previously and check out from those locations to share your thoughts on how it was.
- When you check out, you teach Bizzy about the kinds of places you like so it can recommend the next great place for you to try and suggest similar people for you to follow.
It seems like location-based mobile services are getting better by the day, as businesses want to know more and more about who’s checking in or out. Earlier today, Google made the news by announcing its acquisition of Zagat, which is a big play for getting heavily involved in reviews and check-ins.
