Foursquare for iOS has just been updated and this is one update you should check out. The next time your favorite restaurant gets too crowded, or you are out looking for places to eat after a movie, the Explore option will offer you more recommendations on a single screen. Head over to the iTunes store to grab the update for your device.

Users can now see ratings, see friends who’ve been there, money-saving specials and useful tips. Additionally, users can tap on a place to see even more options like directions and menu items. The Explore option has been redesigned too: it will show users top suggestions for places in the area with highlights like new spots in the neighborhood and trending places. Users can tap on the search bar up top if they’re looking for something specific.
