The iPhone App by Berlin recommendation platform Townster is available for free and does two things for users: It helps them find the good places to eat and drink in Berlin, and it includes a game that should make going out even more fun. Via GPS, the app lists restaurants, cafés, fast food joints, bars, and pubs in the users’ immediate surroundings and shows them on a map, including location details and user reviews. The game is based on users checking in at those locations, thereby collecting points and various buttons. Eventually users can become a “local hero”. All check-ins can be published in a built-in newsfeed as well as on Facebook and Twitter. The Townster app is only available in German, but mostly based on visuals and self-explanatory.

From today until May 16th, users of the Townster iPhone app can go on a hash and win an Apple iPad. All they have to do is to find out where Rita has been checking in and do so as well on one of the following days. Find out more about the hash at blog.townster.de.
