Facebook has been working long and hard to create successful apps that stem from the social network's existing services. That's what they tried to do with Events from Facebook, a tool that compiled the events in your area and ones that your contacts were interested in. Yes we're talking in the past tense here. The app did not experience the success Facebook had hoped for, and has since been replaced by a new app which will try to succeed where Events could not: Facebook Local takes some of the features from the old events app and now also recommends places nearby where you can eat, go for a drink, or attend an event or activity.

Once you've installed the application, you'll need to enter your Facebook data and, after that, select your preferences so the application knows what kinds of events to recommend. Some categories include shopping, art and cinema, health and food, etc. After that, you will receive notifications for the events that are most relevant to your interests according to the application's algorithms.
Although the main menu only shows events that your friends are going to, you can also search freely for other events happening nearby. All of this information will be organized on the associated calendar, which will also be linked to the information saved on Facebook itself.
