Foursquare for Android now makes it easier to find friends, places nearby

It's safe to say the Android folk account for a pretty good chunk of Foursquare's hefty [user base](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/30/foursquare-to-display-full-user-names-share-more-data/), so it's only logical for the social firm to often bring more and [more new features](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/24/foursquare-for-android-updated-for-a-more-social-check-in-screen/) to the highly-rated app. As such, today Foursquare announced it has added a few additional tidbits to its Android offering, including a couple which are bound to make it simpler for users of the service to find nearby spots _and_ friends via the application's main map. What's more, Foursquare's moved the "To-Do List" feature over to the app's left drawer for easier access, while the essential "Check In" button also has a new home on that same side but toward the bottom corner. It's worth noting that despite the latest version being live right now, [Foursquare](http://www.engadget.com/tag/foursquare/) says these changes will be rolling out "over the next few weeks" -- in other words, fret not if you're not seeing the novelties show up just yet, as they're sure to be coming very soon.
