Foursquare, the social network geo checkins, has updated its Android application with significant improvements. renewal has been accompanied by a redesign of its interface , a UI that despite being very successful and come together with other functions has not left us a very pleasant aftertaste. The first thing that strikes you nothing not even download it before opening it is that even the icon has been changed, adapting to a flat drawing style, reminiscent of both the flat design Jony Ive and his iOS7.
top notifications bar has a bright blue tone which coincides completely with that of iOS. We find three icons more like search, notifications and action menu. To go to the previous page we will also see a button in Android unnecessary thing having a special key for it. sliding menu now comes with a larger avatar, where our personal information, name, home, etc.. The record button also has a flat design that look is everywhere. And most pages, either the listing, classification and others have a very bright and flat style that matches what we know .In terms of functions unrelated to the design we see a few. Now I will appear next to the minimap sites we visited, and a list of friends and their recent checkins.
If you are a regular user of Foursquare this application do not cause more problems, after all elements are also incorporated features such as Android or holo menu slide menu, we simply descuadran changes that instead of renewing the they already had, they decided they did copy the app in another part.
pity in his attempt, legitimate, to create a brand image, by copying all end up flat layout design that even they chose. The design lines of Android do not have much influence on the companies as having iOS but are fine too, and we believe that users of Android apps we like to have adapted to the general style of our operating system.
