With last year’s launch of Localicious, we set out to deliver an app that made discovering the best businesses in America blazingly fast & implausibly easy. Now almost a quarter million downloads later, the next version of Localicious is ready, and it is faster, sleeker and more downright local-icious than ever.

With this new iteration our users will be able to find the best local haunts in record time with a nearby map view & category pull down from the home screen, Android Quick Search integration and more precise location detection.

Check out some of these cool new features:
