Looks like Google+ Local for iOS is destined to live a short life that'll end on August 7th. Mountain View recently sent out emails announcing its plan to axe the standalone app -- something you might've been expecting since its features were integrated into the latest version of Google Maps. Its functionality lives on as Explore on Maps, and you can still use it to find local establishments and read reviews by fellow users à la Yelp. As ratings and reviews are also preserved on Google+ profiles, the app's death won't mean much when you look for somewhere to go on a night out.
