Dig the new Page Detail tabbed designs! Wish the rating was on the highlight section though

@zkantor11 This is my biggest gripe at the moment. I’m assuming it was a business case in that people were overly relying on venue ratings which led to unfair vicious cycles in the data. 11.0 is making it a fairer game for every venue.

@zkantor11 I agree I love Foursquare, and will continue to use it (got my entire family into it!) but the rating not being front and center is really annoying! Please bring it back to the first tab.

@marissa_chacko Hi Marissa. I second @tollerton: Foursquare's Ratings are THE single most comprehensive info for any place and should be visible (at least the number+color code) independently from tabs, e.g. bottom right corner of header pic.😉Thanks for reconsidering!

@chrismessina Thanks for sharing this, Chris!

I'm honestly overwhelmed by the new venue page. Lots of information. Lots of tabs. Primary actions hidden in multiple places. Things I expect to see immediately are buried in secondary tabs (rating and popular times). But I'm optimistic. I will get used to it because I use Foursquare every single day. It's hands down the best place discovery app out there.

Hey @dens, Can you tell us more about Foursquare 11? What's new and cool with this new version?

@dens @jacqvon From the changelog: "What's New in Version 11.0 This one goes to 11... Our ALL-NEW place pages will help you really *experience* somewhere before you decide to go there. Everything is broken down into Highlights, Info, Photos, and Tips. •Want to see the most important details of a place? Boom. Highlights tab. •Is this place open late? Can you bring your dog? Boom. Info tab. •Want to take a peek around? Drool over food pics? Boom. Photos tab. •What should you do when you get there? Boom. Tips tab. Finding the perfect place to go should be easy. And now it is. So next time you're elected by family and friends to pick a spot to go for dinner, plan a day at the park, or heck, even choose a movie theatre, just open up your trusty City Guide app. Everyone will be happy. You will be the hero. Your loved ones will crowd surf you out of there (probably)."

What IS Foursquare now? Is this not basically Yelp? Makes me think of the title from this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/...

I really like the new places page, a big improvement, but the scroll-jacking added to the page is torture and not really necessary.
Mattan Ingram
@marissa_chacko That’s great to hear! Keep up the awesome work.

Foursquare 11 looks brilliant! The new pages are not live for me yet though.
Arun
@marissa_chacko Dennis told me the same. Cannot wait to get the update today!
Francesco D'Alessio
Interesting update! :-)

Last few years looks like it was in not a good situation but I love foursquare, map with places and ranks and page are great, wish you guys luck! Always use in my trips. Thanks!

I love the directions their making in more of being a life concierge. However, I wish the recommendations were more tailored to the category. I'd love to not just fin dout about best places to eat, but where's a good tailor, where's the best local gyms, things that are even more personal.

Pros:

Learns prefrences and is context aware (time of day)

Cons:

Recommendations sometimes are delayed.
