Google's Field Trip app adds ratings to its recreational recommendations

Google knows that not everything in Field Trip will
reach the high watermark of creepy areas around New
York, but it hopes that the app's latest update will make
cool spots easier to find wherever you are. The search
giant's Niantic Labs has added a rating system on
Android and iOS and is enabling the community to
possibly cull banal info from the mobile point-of-
interest database. The five-star rankings should offer
more granularity than the previous thumbs-ups/thumbs-
down system, and soon enough the cards with the
highest average score could be all you see. If your city
is inherently boring though, there's nothing Mountain
View can do about that.
