With the introduction of the Home screen to version 1.6.1, finding a new location to explore and experience has never been easier. Members can now easily check-in or add a highlight and photos to nearby locations too with just one click.

Swiping left and clicking Find Locations will now provide users with a slicker, simplified way of finding where they want to go. People can now easily see their locations on a map and listed below. If a location has a green Twisper Location ribbon across its profile, this is the community’s guarantee that the location has been hand-picked by Twisper and approved by our growing network of Ambassadors as offering an unrivalled, quality experience.

“We’re extremely proud of our latest update for our flagship iOS service,” says Twisper’s Chief Executive Officer David de Brito. “With version 1.6.1, Twisper is cutting through the noise that everyone now has to endure from other services by providing our members with travel information and location recommendations that are personal to them, supported by our principles.

“Simply put, our guiding principles are relevance, context and quality,” he adds.

Now Twisper also gives people the possibility to book a table, a bed or even a unique activity, directly from their device or desktop. Choose Things to Do and a choice of amazing, bookable activities available in the local area appears. To book a hotel bed or a restaurant table for the evening, go to its Twisper location profile and simply select ‘Book Now’.

“More than any other, this update represents a Twisper ‘made by and for the Twisper community’,” adds Chief Technology Officer Csaba Szabo.

“Through rounds of testing and feedback, we were able to directly involve our growing user network of hospitality professionals and international hoteliers, our Ambassadors across Europe as well as the wider Twisper community in our development process, responding to trends and, in some cases, directly acting upon requests.”

Twisper 1.6.1 also means more champagne. In a fun twist, Twisper will be sending a bottle of Laurent Perrier everyday to a specially chosen community member via the new Twisper Miles system. Twisper Miles allow users to compare themselves and their activity with others.

The more someone uses Twisper, the more Miles they receive and the higher their chances of receiving a bottle of Laurent Perrier.

Soon, the amount of Twisper Miles will also determine the benefits and premium rights of community members, including the right to create and sell Twisper Guides.

In a final bonus and to better reflect the modern city experience, two new location categories, ‘Must See’ and ‘Things to Do’, have been introduced. From Berlin’s Brandenburg gate to New York’s MoMA, Twisper shows you the best cultural attractions along with the iconic sights you simply cannot miss.

In short, version 1.6.1 marks a significant step for Twisper in becoming the go-to service for all things travel and local discovery, celebrating the world’s favorite locations and providing unique and inspiring recommendations everyday.
