Zomato brings tagging, timeline to mobile app


MANILA -- India-based restaurant search service Zomato wants the dining experience to become more social, as the service's mobile app undergoes the iOS-8 facelift.

The free-to-download app now allows users to check-in at a restaurant, tag friends in reviews and photos, and bookmark one's favorite restaurant, among others.

All of those activities will then be detailed in a chronological timeline -- a sort of virtual diary -- highlighting all their food moments right from the day they signed up for the service to their latest meal.

"Given that people are now viewing information on-the-go more than ever before, mobile has become the focal point. Our iPhone app, built to include iOS8 features, will bring to our users a whole new and efficient way of deciding where to go and what to eat," said Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal.

Other improvements to the mobile app include a revamped search bar for a "quicker" browsing experience, and an offline feature which allows users to store and access contact details of their favorite restaurants without the need for data or Wi-Fi.

"We're constantly looking for ways to enrich the restaurant experience for our users by providing, quite simply, an all-round dining experience – right from discovering a great place in the neighborhood, to checking-in along with friends, uploading pictures during a meal, and signing off with a review, which eventually helps people make the right dining choice," added Deepinder.

The updates, according to Zomato, will soon be available for Android, Windows, and the company's website.
