Yelp has announced an update to its Apple Watch app for watchOS 6. The update brings a new modern interface and adds support for the Apple Watch Series 5 built-in compass.
The compass icon will display in the bottom-right corner of the interface and points you in the direction of your destination, while also indicating how many feet or miles you have to go.
Now, with the Apple Watch Series 5, you’ll find a new compass feature that points you in the right direction of a local business. The compass will appear on the bottom right-hand corner of Yelp business listings. Based on where you’re facing, the compass will turn with you in real-time, providing updated estimates of how many miles or feet a business is away from you.
The app’s new user interface closely mirrors that of the Yelp iPhone app. If a user has indicated their personal preferences on the Yelp iOS app, then the Yelp app on watchOS 6 will also reflect their personalized results. These businesses will be labeled “for you,” using the same recently introduced heart icon found in the iPhone app. Users with watchOS 6 will also notice that the Yelp app has a new modernized look, with an updated scrolling user interface.
The Yelp app is free and is available from the App Store. [GET IT HERE]
