Whether you’re sick of Foursquare.com or are just looking to spice things up with a new social website or app like Foursquare, we have compiled our list of the best Foursquare competitors. Read below to learn all about the best 5 Foursquare alternatives.
1. LikeWhere
LikeWhere is an app like Foursquare that focuses on local information and entertainment. After you input information about the places you like to go in a city you’re familiar with, LikeWhere suggests places you would love in a new city. Whether you’re on a trip or have just moved to a new city, LikeWhere will help you find the best places you would love in an unfamiliar locale. It may even help you find great places you may not have even known existed in your hometown.
2. TripAvisor
TripAdvisor is a website with an unprecedented amount of reviews from users who have visited cities and accommodations around the world. With information on hotels, resorts, restaurants, popular places, and anything travel-related you can imagine, TripAdvisor can help you learn exactly what a place is like before you go there. This is especially handy when you’re travelling on a budget. You can also use TripAdvisor to make suggestions for you, so you can always find the best place to go, and get exactly what you want, anywhere!

If you’re looking for a quick or spontaneous gathering where you can do something in your area that you love — and maybe meet some new friends — try out Smacktive today.
