Review: Where To? 7.0

Jan 28 2015 7:01PM EST | Source: MacLife.com

Seven years after the original iPhone, mobile search remains a must-have feature. Although there are an expansive number of options available, one of the original third-party apps, first launched in 2008, continues to be at the top of its game with this latest version.

Where To? 7.0 is more than a glossy upgrade with iOS 7 good looks. Although previous users will need to repurchase (the last paid update was five releases ago), the sheer number of new and improved features make it well worth buying again.

The changes range from the modest (separating Reviews and Photos details onto their own tabs) to the long overdue (sharing options like emailing places as vCards). But our definite favorite is the addition of a free Pebble companion app. Tap an icon, and directions appear on your wrist, while vibrations alert users to upcoming turns, Apple Watch-style. It’s pretty neat, and keeps the iPhone tucked safely away in a pocket while walking.

Although Where To? is capable of serving up navigation (via Apple Maps), the app can summon other installed routing options with just a tap, or help find popular third-party solutions from the App Store. The app can also now be used with BMW ConnectedDrive vehicles for seamlessly transferring destinations from iPhone to the car’s dashboard.

The bottom line. Where To? 7.0 continues a remarkable tradition as one of the best ways to find places around town, and new Pebble integration puts an end to staring at your iPhone while navigating the sidewalk.
