Restaurant ratings and reviews service Zagat today released a new version of its $9.99 iPhone app, Zagat To Go, complete with Foursquare and Foodspotting integration.

Users can now check in to restaurants via Zagat’s app [iTunes link], rather than Foursquare’s — a somewhat novel integration that’s appearing in more and more mobile applications, including The New York Times’s city guide app. Checkins will automatically be registered in the app’s new Dining Journal, designed to help users better keep track of the venues they’ve visited.

Perhaps more notably, Zagat To Go now includes access to thousands of food photos from the various dining venues listed in the app, so that consumers can determine whether the dishes served looks appetizing before they visit.

The photos are pulled from Foodspotting, a new social platform and mobile app that enables members, a.k.a. Foodspotters, to visually share and discover the best edible treats their neighborhood has to offer.

In addition to the Zagat app integration, Foodspotting also informed us that it released version 2.0 of its iPhone app [iTunes link] and website today, including a collection of food guides in partnership with the Travel Channel, Zagat and others.

Do you have the Zagat app on your iPhone? Do you find the new features genuinely useful or superfluous? What additional functionality would you like the app to have?
