Cynapse Releases Localscope V2 Update
By 
A few days ago we posted about Apple naming LocalScope as the top Navigation App currently available on the App Store, today we can report that LocalScope has been updated to v2 and is now available in the App Store.
This update brings several new features and enhancements to the app that will make it even more useful. LocalScope now integrates with Facebook places, Instagram, Flickr, Panoramio, Picasa and Youtube.
According to Cynapse the company has completely rewritten the App in order to ensure that it still runs fast and smooth, as they state on their blog “the technical challenge with v2 has been that while we increased the features in Localscope by more than 2 times of v1, we strived to make it faster, snappier and more intuitive than the first version.”
Here is a list of some of the changes in this version of LocalScope, the full list can be found here.
