Get To Know Places With WhereIs, Now On BlackBerry 10

 

Looking for an app to discover food places, or specific shops wherever you are? Why not give WhereIs...? a try - a great app when you're on the road or in unfamiliar places. Having used it for a while, even in my own home town. I have discovered a few food places I never knew existed. So, the app looked promising from the get go.

The app is pretty straightforward to use. It's just a case of running your query and the results will be presented to you. The types of venues you can search for are Food, Party, Fun and Shops. With each of the those categories you can add a sub category to be more specific. For example, if you just wanted to find a bakery or burger place, or antique shops or clothing stores. You can even select the radius you want to search within. You can then have the results given to you on a map or in a plain list view.
WhereIs...? utilizes Foursquare data to find the locations for you. However, no FourSquare account is needed to use the app.
