Yelp Update Helps Pokemon Go Users Find Nearby PokeStops

Yelp's PokeStop filter allows users to filter their business search results based on whether businesses are near PokeStops.

In response to the massive success of Pokemon Go, Yelp added a PokeStop filter to its mobile app and website, allowing users to filter their business search results based on whether businesses are near PokeStops.

Pokemon Go’s location-based gameplay allows users to collect items like Poke Balls and Pokemon Eggs at PokesStops, which are attached to real-world locations such as parks and stores.
