Foursquare places its biggest update in the "Explore" section. Now when you launch Foursquare and you choose to use the Explore feature to search for places around you, the feature will not only take into account your location and your friends' activity, but also the time of the day and the weather. So for instance, if you're searching for something to do that's cheap while it's raining outside, the Explore function will more likely send you to a free museum rather than a park to sit outside. Alternatively, if you're opening up the app on Sunday morning, it will recommend places for brunch more than dinner.
Another major part of the update is the design, itself. As even the Facebook app has done, Foursquare has updated its app to include bigger pictures. In fact, pictures are at the forefront of the app, making it resemble Instagram, almost. Furthermore, user profiles now contain tiles that you can tap to access stats, lists, badges and tips from one screen itself. Previously, you had to scroll to get to all of those elements. Also, Foursquare has added a heart shaped button, which functions the same way as the Facebook thumbs up. Users can now like venues, tips, and their friends' checkins.
