Facearound is a new free iOS App and Facebook App built to discover the best places around you. To land on Facearound you can directly log-in by Facebook. There you can write reviews about your favorite bar, restaurant, florist… or any kind of shop, rate them with stars, and read others reviews written by your Facebook’s friends or other Facebook users. Facearound geo-localaize you automatically and shows which are the nearest places to go, or shops with best reviews. But with Facearound Deals you would also find out all the special offers available in the shops around. How? It is very simple: Facearound uses Facebook Fanpages and Places filling them into the map where you are geo-localized too! You do not need any registration: sign-in with Facebook, allow Facearound geo-localize you and you are ready to discover each single tiny flea market selling colored pinheads. Of course you can also choose a different area, city, country or continent filling it into the search box or simply scrolling the map. Once you decide the area, Facearound marks out all the nearby venues such as bar, restaurants, shopping malls, market, salon, etc. You can tap on any one of them and see what it hides behind. It may be a special deal as well like 15% off on all clothes or something like that. Next to that, you can view the reviews and ratings by all the users and your Facebook friends, if someone has done so. In accordance, all the places will be marked with a different color depending on whether it has been reviewed by one of your Facebook friends or not and if it bears a special offer tag attached to it. It uses a very simple and intuitive interface with everything placed right in front of your eyes. You can read reviews or write your own if you have visited the place before. This way you can serve as the guide for your friends. The app covers the total map area and is available in four different languages including English, German, Northern Sami and Spanish which serves to be useful for local users.

What this iOS app does it to geolocate all the interesting bars, restaurants and shops around you and take it one step further with Facearound user reviews and recommendations thrown in for good measure.
It wasn't that long ago that in order to find the nearest shoe shop in your vicinity your best bet was to open up the phone book and let your fingers do the walking. Thank God they are a thing of the past-each book was so thick that it must have taken a small forest to produce it. These days it's simpler. Next time you are desiring that new pair of Christian Louboutin high heels you can jump on Facearound and see if there is one close as well as checking out if they have any deals on for Facebook users.
