Google Places with Hotpot iPhone app available for download

It's not just Android. Google Places with Hotpot has also been released for iPhone. Google Places with Hotpot not only helps you find places near where you are, it gives you the best places to go for you by personalizing your search results. For those who haven’t yet heard of it, Google Places lets you quickly search for places nearby and personalizes the results based on places you’ve rated. It gets you started with a few popular search categories, but you can also tailor the list by adding your own favorite searches. This makes it fast and easy to find the best places for you with little fuss.

The Places also lets you rate a place with your iPhone while you’re there. Just fire up the app and hit “Rate now.” It will use your location to guess your current place and let you post a Hotpot review right from your phone. The more you rate places, the app can give you personally tailored recommendations.

You can already download the Google Places with Hotpot app on your iPhone by searching for Google Places in the App Store. This first version of Places is available for all iOS devices in English only. More features and improvements to roll out soon, including localization in many new languages.
