Highlight, an iOS app that helps you learn more about the people around you, has been updated with new Highlighting and Search features.

If someone standing near you also has Highlight, their profile will show up on your phone. You can see their name, photos of them, mutual friends, and anything else they have chosen to share. When you meet someone, Highlight helps you see what you have in common with them. And when you forget their name at a party a week later, Highlight helps you remember it.

How It Works:
As you go about your day, Highlight runs quietly in the background, surfacing information about the people around you. If your friends are nearby, it will notify you. If someone interesting crosses your path, it will tell you more about them.

Highlight gives you a sixth sense about the world around you, showing you hidden connections and making your day more fun.

What's New In This Version:
- Highlighting - a quick, simple way to publicly mark people as interesting
- Search - so you can quickly pull up past encounters or find someone in a crowded room
- "Now" feature - so you can see when people are still nearby
- Quick access to Facebook and Twitter profiles in case you'd like to learn more about someone - or friend/follow them
- Redesigned left-hand navigation for easier access to everything
- Bug fixes, optimizations, and further improvements to battery life

You can download Highlight from the App Store for free.
