Feb 22, 2012 My Mobile Life #24: How to Get Local

Looking for something to do or something to eat but don’t know what or where? Even if you’re in your home neighborhood or out of town on vacation or business, there are apps that help you get around, find the attractions as if you are are a local.

Solution #1

An app like CityCentral on iOS or Dex on Android provides local business and community information so you can choose what to do - go to a concert, eat at a restaurant, or see a movie (and more) based on your location. You can also try Roamz (available on iOS only). It is a location-based app that combines your preferences with the local hotspots to give you recommendations. The more you use it the more the app learns about what you like and will provide even more tailored suggestions for you no matter where you are. CityCentral (iOS)

Solution #2

Now that you’ve found something to do, you may need a little “help”. Groupon is a service that lets you in on the best deals. Just download the app that is available on iOS and Android. Groupon (iOS)

Solution #3

You can share your experience with others using apps such as Yelp or FourSquare. You can also choose where you go based on others reviews. These apps are available on iOS and Android. Yelp (iOS)
