A partnership with Foursquare will soon see the Accuweather iOS app recommend local places to visit, based on hyperlocal weather forecasts …
It’s made possible by a Foursquare SDK, explains Accuweather.
Foursquare business data is also included in Apple Maps.
Recommendations will include all local amenities, but advertisers will be able to push targeted ads to you. For this reason, and because it requires access to your Foursquare location data, recommendations will be available on an opt-in basis.
Although recommendations use your location history, Foursquare says that this is anonymized before it is shared.
Accuweather was one of the apps we recommended in our recent roundup of the best weather apps. It’s a free download from the App Store, with optional in-app purchases.
