 "App updates you should know: Skype, Evernote for BB10, Digg and more!")
This week saw some nifty app updates across all major mobile platforms. Take a look at the app updates of the week that you should know.
Foursquare for iOS
Foursquare has rolled out its all-new real-time recommendations to iPhone users this week. The feature will send recommendations to the user’s phone as soon as they walk into a new city or place. For instance, it will recommend what you can eat once you enter a restaurant. On visiting a new city, it will tell you what new things or places you can visit. The app has been designed to not impact your battery life. Download the application for iOS from the
Apple App Store.
Recommendations for you
Shazam music from your browser
Shazam users can now access the new feature that allows them to follow ‘Shazamed’ songs right from their Web browser, instead of the mobile app. This means users can conveniently check their tags, and find links directly to buy the Shazamed tracks. However, to use the service, they will have to log in to the Shazam app on their phone/tablet using Facebook Connect as well as on the desktop preview through Facebook. Click
here to browse your Shahzamed tags online.
Skype
Skype has rolled out another big update for its Android app, numbered at version 4.4. The new update brings a redesigned user interface for tablet users. Besides, it also boosts the video call quality up to four times compared to the resolution offered by the older version. Skype has also updated its iPhone and iPad apps and given them a complete design overhaul, keeping in mind the new design elements seen in the iOS 7.

Pinterest gets into a strategic partnership and has rolled out an exclusive widget for Telefonic users. Telephonic, which has roughly 316 million customers, will be able to lay their hands on this widget. The widget will be pre-loaded and also available as a part of a new version of the app in
