Foursquare Swarm: Check In

Foursquare

About this app

Swarm is the best way to keep track of the places you go. From the new café downtown to that killer ramen spot in Tokyo, you’ll never ask “what was the name of that place?” again. Whether you love to be a local, or are trying to travel the globe, check-in so you can remember everywhere with Swarm.

• This is lifelogging made easy. Each time you check-in we’ll add a pin your personal map so you can look back on the places you visit. Help out your future self by adding a photo or a note to your check-ins to make the memories all the better.

• Indian Restaurant? Check. Karaoke bar? Check. Haven’t been to an Art Museum yet? Now’s your chance to go somewhere new! Explore more and collect different types of places so you can keep track and remember your history. You’ll earn fun Stickers along the way.

• Whether it’s your 10th week in a row at the gym, first time to Canada, or the 25th time you’ve gotten ice cream with your BFF, the more you check-in, the more helpful insights you’ll get as you track your habits and explorations.

•Keep up and meet up with friends. Share your location with a checkin and see friends nearby. A serendipitous checkin can help you find friends when you’re out and about and see who’s here.

•Don’t have any friends nearby? Not a problem! Not only is this app a great way to lifelog and remember for yourself, but to keep track of your friends’ adventures as well, no matter how far far away they are.

•Lifelog your adventures so your history is less questions, more remembering the good times.

*A note on battery. We’ve spent *years* developing the location technology that powers Foursquare Swarm, making it extremely power efficient. But, as with all apps of this type, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

I've been a user for a long time, enjoyed checking in and seeing where friends have been. However, since a November update I'm having major issues with the app finding my location so I can check in, I try opening & closing the app several times, it helps a little bit but not a lot. Don't try to report a bug or provide feedback within app, you'll get an email saying undeliverable. I tried emailing support via computer and no response, if it don't work properly then I'll have to delete account.

The app feels abandoned. Nothing works the first time any more. Notifications to check into places I've only ever been to once and will never go to again, tapping notifications to check in doesn't load stickers so you have to press back and manually check in again, location list when checking in always fails to find location the first time, manually refreshing the list fixes it. "Me" tab never loads the first time, manually refreshing it fixes it. Automatic sharing to Twitter(X) doesn't work.

I couldn't receive notifications and upload pictures in private messages unless I reinstalled older versions. I sent an email to support they replied too late and they kept asking for information I already provided in earlier emails with the same ticket.
