Localscope 4.1 is available now, exclusively in the App Store, as a free update for all existing users. Users can now share locations via the popular WhatsApp messenger, open links in Google Chrome, and control a number of other features requested by the Localscope community. The entire Localscope experience was improved for version 4.1. With the addition of 40 new navigation apps for turn-by-turn directions, Localscope can now search nearly 20 location services and get directions from 63 turn-by-turn apps including Foursquare, Yelp, Google, Flickr, Wikipedia, Citysearch, Garmin and Navigon apps, and much more. After a major 4.0 redesign for iOS 7 in December, this update brings YouTube and Dianping - the "Yelp of China" - as new location sources. We thought we would start 2014 off with a bang by reviewing an app by one of our favorite developers, Cynapse. Localscope 4.1 is a major update to Cynapse's location search and discovery app for iPhone. Localscope 4.1 for iPhone gained YouTube and Dianping as new sources, support for 40 new navigation apps, and more tools to help you find just what you need. Besides this basic design annoyance, Where To? is still a great app.Mumbai, India, Febru-( PR.com)- Cynapse released a great update to Localscope, its location search and discovery app that offers a window into the world around you. Of course you could go ahead and delete the brands and search terms that are irrelevant to you. Fundamentally I don’t see the policy of preentering all the possible search terms into the app, as for the developers to cover all the brands of the globe, they would have to fill it up with all of the worlds yellow pages. (They claim to have over 2,400 brands) However, it doesn’t list a lot of brands that are local to me. While I hate typing on my phone and tapping a search term in the list is much easier, I find the activity of searching through search terms to then search for real results a little crazy! The Where To? database lists a LOT of search terms including a lot of brands like Starbucks, McDonald’s etc. ![]() The most unique feature of Where To? is its huge database of preentered search terms. I love the circular dial in its first screen, but hate the fact that it only appears in the first screen. Where To? is probably the second most polished app in my list after Localscope. Where To? – Discover your next destination using GPS ($3.99) Localscope is one of my Homescreen apps since its launch, and definitely worth the money. Moreover, Localscope provides the widest set of actions that can be performed on the search results, including dialing phone numbers directly, get directions using a choice of navigations apps like navigon or share the found place with friends over Facebook, etc. Localscope lets me search for one search phrase across all of these services, and I have to type the phrase only once. Twitter is the best place to look for public opinions about a place, and the most landmarks and buildings are marked at Wikimapia in my region. I find better restaurants using Google, but for the best nightclubs and pubs, I use Foursquare. This feature is of the highest importance as I have not yet found one service that provides the best results for everything. Localscope uses 5 geo search engines and social networks sources, supports 19 languages and integrates with 11 popular navigation apps. Besides the top notch user experience and all the other great features seamlessly packed into this wonderful app, the key reason that this app remains my number 1 is that Localscope is the only App out there that lets you search for the same query using multiple data sources without retyping the query again and again. ![]() Hands down my favorite app for finding anything aroundme.
