Whats the best app for discovering cool places in a foreign city?
- Haven't tried the new version, but it's Foursquare, so, there you go :)Arun Sathiya4Happiness Engineer, Automattic · WrittenFoursquare is the best place discovery app yet. On par with Google Maps and works really well.Foursquare is what locals actually use and rate on. Plus, it's so detail-oriented. Not just generic people complaining about a server at their mother's birthday party. Actually good tips about individual dishes, where to sit, and more.

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.
- Arun Sathiya4Happiness Engineer, Automattic · WrittenI used Google Trips when I was back in Japan and found it very useful in every way. A really good app!

The Google Map colors has been the sayings from inception allow other colors to be created by the user colors that they want to use not the basic colors that Google put out originally. Personalization is the only thing I can think of where color schemes chosen by the user would make the music more. also add music somehow in the background while driving it's boring just driving all day if smooth jazz was playing in the background of Torrington directions offered by the map I would listen longer I would use it .

- Harold CummingtonProduct Manager at Slark · WrittenPokestops and Gyms are crowdsourced based on places that people find interesting. Plus you get to catch Pokemon while you're at it. Why bother looking at old buildings when you can capture virtual battling monsters? But all jokes aside, it's actually surprising how good of a discovery tool this is (specifically for little things like murals, cool buildings, etc probably the kinds of things you wouldn't find in a tourist guide).

This game is actually amazing, but at the same time people shouldn't get obsessed with it, because afterwards it will be a waste of time, even when the game is really interesting.

I love Pokemon GO. It;s very unique and has a great idea of real life challenge. Some disadvantages don't make it perfect, but I'm looking forward to see some updates with new gameplay elements!

I use Hellow to keep up to date with local activities and networking events. Also to get out of my social comfort zone and try out new things.

Hoodmaps lets you find the best place to go in a city
- Mark ColganB2B SaaS Marketer - Marketing Automation · WrittenSearch for the hashtag of the city you are visiting. I did this in pretty much every country when I was travelling and found some really cool places that the "locals" we're visiting. One of my highlights was ending up at a jazz night in Argentina (and I was the only non-Argentinian there). Plus, people only tend to post the best of / show off worthy photos on Instagram.

It's the most favorite app I ever used
- Josh IndigCo-Founder, NewReality.io · WrittenSpot is great for the long-tail for cool places in a new city.
- Adrian Craigco-founder, CEO of Llama · WrittenMy team and I created Llama because we were largely dissatisfied with the current options out there. It's a platform for travelers to make lists of things to do on their trips which, if public, are discoverable by other travelers on Llama. It also has google-docs style collaboration for making lists together. Look for Llama on PH tomorrow!
