However, if you travel somewhere else you might find youself in another state or country. If you ever wondered how to change the region setting after the initial setup there is a simple way. Just open your iPhone’s Settings and scroll down to the Seasons entry. Once you select this (1) you will have the chance to change the region setting (2) again. Apart from the supported regions you can also select the autodetect option which will try to select the correct region using location positioning.

By the way: besides the region you can also select the language you want all entries to be displayed in. This can either be English, German or French.

For that we are working with external data providers. For the UK and Ireland we chose Local Food Advisor. For users in any other country data is provided by the well know service Qype.

Whether being at the supermarket or choosing a menu at a restaurant – we have to decide what to eat every single day. Seasons, an application made for the iPhone, makes it now easier for customers across Northern America and Europe to experience produce all at the very peak of freshness just as nature intended.

Seasons for the iPhone and iPod Touch provides all the information you need to make the right decisions when choosing your food. The database of the application contains 170 entries of fruits, vegetables, lettuce, herbs, mushrooms and nuts.

The recent release expands its support for seasonal data from Central Europe, United Kingdom and Ireland to the United States and France. This includes information about local seasons as well as seasonal imports.

The nice user interface gives a weekly overview of produce currently being in season. It also allows to browse the content by month or category as well as searching by name. In addition to a photo of every single entry there is a detailed seasonal chart as well as a brief description text to get some background information.

The application is listed under category Lifestyle at the iTunes App Store
