Peerspace has relaunched its iPhone app, which offers meeting and event spaces for rent by the hour. New functionality employs Google Places to enable users to search spaces by city, street or region, such as SoHo or the Mission District. Previously, Peerspace presented spaces in just seven cities and in list format. The app now displays more than 10,000 venues throughout major metropolitan cities and regions but still is limited to the U.S. The company plans to add more locations this year. There's also the improved ability to filter by guest capacity, price and amenities; new date and time filters; filtering by features like fireplace or kitchen; and an expanded list of categories. Previous options were off-site, event and production; added options include meeting, corporate event, board meeting and retreat. Types of venues include but are not limited to ballrooms, lofts, galleries, offices and bars and restaurants. The app relaunch also enables instant bookings rather than waiting for host approval, provided the space is available and the host has enabled this feature.
