" Google is retiring its Google+ Local application for iOS next month. The service will officially close on August 7, although TechCrunch notes that it is already unavailable from the iTunes App Store in the US. The updated version of the Google Maps app will instead offer all of the features of the local listings app, such as the ability to search by categories of places, read place information, reviews, pricing and addresses. Users can also rate, review and share the places they have visited and see what people in their Google+ circles have to say about their favorite places around the world. &amp;quot;After August 7, you&amp;#039;ll no longer be able to access the Google+ Local app through your iOS device,&amp;quot; Google said. &amp;quot;Any reviews and ratings that you created will be available on your Google+ profile and in the Google Maps iOS app. Thank you for using Google+ Local for iOS.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
