Share Tips With The New Loopt For BlackBerry Update

By Bla1ze on 28 Jan 2010 06:21 pm

Loopt has just released their most recent update to the popular location based service. The new update offers the ability to add "Tips" about the locations you share with the Loopt community. Leaving tips for others is a simple process, you just go to the Discover tab and select the place that you want to leave a tip for and enter the information which you can also then share on Twitter.

In addition to tips being added, Loopt has also included addressbook integration. So now you can launch Loopt directly from your contacts list which allows for faster access and easier lookup of all your friends. You will also notice maps now has it's own tab, a feature which has been requested for a while now.

This latest update of Loopt for BlackBerry is available to U.S. users on the BlackBerry Curve 8520, 8530, 8900, BlackBerry Bold 9000, 9700, BlackBerry Tour 9630 and BlackBerry Storm 9530 & 9550. The previous version of Loopt is still available for legacy devices such as the 8330. To see if your device is supported and get Loopt, visit www.loopt.com using your BlackBerry browser.

When will this be available in Canada??

Still no US Cellular support.

I'd love to try Loopt out, but until they start letting BackBerrys with unrestricted GPS and paid data plans in, all these updates really don't help.

Agreed! If you can use twitter or Poynt on a USCC phone, then they need to get there support together. The tour 9630 is same on every carrier!

foursquare is a better experience

I agree. I have been having a much better experience with foursquare than with loopt.

This thing sucks already. Who is going to waste their time with this app.

nobody cares? there's such better apps out there... Loopt kinda dropped the ball when they got running and lost a lot of early support and momentum... Next!

i think it's prejudice to leave the 8330 out of the updated app loop. specially since the phone obvioulsy has no intention of going extinct anytime soon. boost mobile comes to mind.

Does anyone else have the issue where it will not route you to a point or destination?
