Users can now tap into DishPal Top 20, a collection of the most notable DishPal users and their edible creations. By checking out DishPal Top 20, foodies can explore the most loved dishes in the community, comment on the creations that appeal to them and follow the creator for future dish ideas.

Users are now able to view a Recipe of the Day, a great way to discover and create new dishes inspired by the passionate foodie community. The Recipe of the Day is chosen by the DishPal team and pulled from the cream of the crop of food blogs. Now, users can visit DishPal not only for sharing their dishes, but also for tapping into valuable recipe information.

Also, with an updated location feature, the DishPal community can tap on the location icon to tag where their dish was created. This allows other users to know where they can find the dish to try. Users simply tap the "…" button for additional information, and then tap on the location information to populate the screen with a map of the location the photo was taken. If a friend nearby posts a photo, followers can trace their tracks to try out the desired dish.

With enlarged photo size, dishes in the app look even more vivid and delicious than before. Users can show off their creative dishes as well as dishes they admire with the new share feature on every image. DishPal users can easily syndicate their posted dish images to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts to reach followers across all social platforms.

An added and optional push notification feature comes in handy when users want to be alerted when a friend or other DishPal member comments on their dish, responds to a comment or uploads a new dish. The push notifications foster in-app communication between fellow foodies, allowing users to provide feedback on a one-on-one basis.

Other unique features unique to DishPal include the Potluck Party, DishPal Magazine and foodie friendly photo filters that make your pictures look extra delicious.
