Yelp Adds Pokéstop Filter
Not sure where to find the Pokéstops closest to you? Can’t zoom out far enough from your hotel room in a strange city? Have something mean to say about a restaurant? All of those things can be handled with the same app now.
Yelp has added a new Pokéstop filter to its mobile app and desktop site. All you need to do is run a search for a type of business. Once you have your results, look through the filter options for “Pokéstop Nearby.”
The company is asking for your help to improve the filter. If you find a business near a Pokéstop, check in and answer a question that will help identify new locations.
The features is currently available in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

Our Take
Just like yesterday’s T-Mobile promotion, this offers strong synergy between the Pokémon Go experience and another lifestyle app. I’m not sure how long this Pokécraze will last, but I’m glad for all these convenience options while it’s hot.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
