Qype Updates iPhone App

Qype has launched an updated version of its iPhone app that offers users on-the-move recommendations for restaurants, bars, hotels and many more types of businesses based on their likes and dislikes.

The new version of Qype enables users to check-in to places and publish their whereabouts to their Facebook and Twitter pages, making it easy to share recommendations with friends. The app also includes an activity feed that displays contacts’ reviews, check-ins and photo uploads as they are posted, so users can stay up-to-date with what their friends are doing and discover new places to visit.

“This is an exciting development for iPhone users, combining the power of Qype’s recommendations with the convenience of mobility,” says Qype founder and chairman,  Stephan Uhrenbacher. “By using your preferences for places you’ve already been, the app can suggest similar places near you right away, so you’ll easily find bars, restaurants and other businesses you’re sure to love, while you’re close to home, elsewhere in the UK or even travelling abroad.”

Qype says it will release versions of the app for BlackBerry and Android later this year.
