Banjo, on the other hand, has opted to expand on its original formula for social discovery apps by providing tools to discover what your connections are doing in specific locations elsewhere in the world, rather than just nearby. The startup launched a promising feature in July called “trending places,” which promised to help users hone in on social media updates from people at specific events they’d like to be at like the Olympics.

Now, Banjo is expanding on that idea with a complete overhaul of its iPhone and Android apps. The redesigned Banjo, which rolls out on Thursday, helps users quickly discover tweets, photos and check-ins from friends and connections anywhere in the world, rather than just the place where they are right now. The trending places feature has been renamed “personalized places” and highlights the most popular cities where your friends and friends of friends are posting from at the moment. Users can also search for any city or venue to find real-time social media updates from there.
