Social networking platform Foursquare has been promoted to version 7.0 on iPhone and iPod touch, featuring a complete redesign and smarter algorithms.

Foursquare 7.0 has been redesigned from the ground up to match the look and feel of iOS 7, and it’s also “smarter, faster, and has a whole new look,” according to its creators.

The app now tells you what you need to know about a place you’re visiting for the first time, such as “the best thing to order or a money-saving special.” This works even with the app closed.

Every time you launch Foursquare on your iDevice, the app shows something new, in what the developers call a “shuffle” feature.

“Just swipe to explore great tips, find money-saving specials near you, and check out the feed to see where your friends are tonight,” according to Foursquare Inc. Download Foursquare 7.0 for iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad today.
