Foursquare for Android now greets newcomers, says what's fresh for locals

[![Foursquare for Android now says which places are new or hot where you are](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/foursquare-android-nearby.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/foursquare-for-android-now-greets-newcomers/)

[Foursquare](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Foursquare/) gave more adventurous iOS users an [updated Explore section](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/01/foursquare-explore-ios-app-redesigned/) at the start of the month that, among many other things, better highlighted either just-opened locations or the hottest places to be. It's the Android crowd's turn to check out new scenes: their updated Foursquare app will tell a traveler what sights and sounds are worth catching when visiting a new location, and better emphasizes what's new for anyone on familiar turf. If you're a tourist worried about fitting in like a local, or just want to check out a fresh location before it's ruined by popularity, hit the Google Play link at the source.
