Evolution in a design is but natural. When we started working on Locomi, issues like scalability were secondary to speed of execution. We soon learnt about the pitfalls with this approach and with this design we hope to have taken care of that. A quick run through the changes..

 A shift from accordion to tabs: The most noticeable change. The navigation for the listings area is a two tier system with tabs on top and shortcuts (we don’t like to call them sublinks) in the tab title bar. 

Latest Reviews: This tab compiles all the latest reviews in your city by date. You can see them in any other order, just use the filter drop down at the bottom.

Explore City: This is the tab that you go to when you are exploring a city, whether by simply moving the map around, or looking for a restaurant in a particular area, or close to a landmark - you can do it here. Finding things around your home is again a breeze thanks to a shortcut that takes you directly to your home location no matter where you might be. 

Events: This one I am quite proud of. It has a few nifty features. Take chain events for example. Imagine you want toplan an evening out with your friends, and your friends are too busy with their work schedules to discuss it together. What do you do? Simple! Go to the events tab in Locomi and create a new event. This allows you to very easily plan an event in a series of places.

Say you want to start with coffee at 5 followed by a movie at 6 and then dinner at 9. This can all be very easily done with the new interface on Locomi. You can select your location for coffee and choose the movie (the movie bit is coming soon, we promise). Your friends will instantly get the details of the event, know the location and RSVPing is a cinch! No more fussing about where to go for an evening of fun! 

Looking forward to hear what you folks have to say about the design. We love hearing from you - good, bad or ugly. So keep the feedback coming! And hey lots more to talk about… you’ll hear from us soon!
