Foursquare adds a score system for places recommended by Explore


Foursquare has added their own rating to places in their database when user search for something in the Explore section.

The company said that the final rating is based on a combination on multiple parameters “tips, likes, dislikes, popularity, loyalty, local expertise, and nearly 3 billion check-ins from over 25 million people worldwide.”

Foursquare has updated their iOS app with this new scoring system. We hope to get an update for the Android devices in the near future.

The company added:

Now when you search for somewhere to go in Explore, you’ll see a score from 1 to 10 next to the name of a place. It’s our way to give you a quick sense of how much people love it, and it’s a lot different from the other types of ratings you see today.

Scores are also now available on their web app.
