Crowded NYC

See the street, not just the door. Crowded has always told you how busy a venue is. This update adds the space in between: while your map is open, the people out around you appear as crows, so a quiet block looks quiet and a busy one looks like something is happening. A crow is a count, not a person. No name, no account and no history travel with one, and the crow you appear as changes every fifteen minutes, so a crow cannot be followed from one place to the next. Turn it off in Settings and you are not on the map at all. Friends who have added each other can tell which crow is which, and either of them can switch that off too. Also in this update: • Claim your @username. First come, first served. • Profiles and report history. See what your friends have been reporting, and choose who can see yours. • Every library in New York is on the map. All 729 of them — the NYPL, Brooklyn and Queens branches, and the university libraries — were missing entirely. Finals week has somewhere to go. • A Friends filter in the Feed, and you can report a place straight from a Feed card. • Venue owners can post photos. They appear in the venue's story badged as the owner and expire like everyone else's. Owners still cannot touch the crowd level — that only ever comes from people standing in the room. • Save or delete your own photos, several at a time. • Fixes: the nine JFK and LaGuardia terminals show predictions again, seasonal venues no longer read Open while their pin is grey, pins stopped hopping onto rooftops when you tilt the map, and markers no longer flicker while you zoom.
