Please put swarm back into foursquare.
Please put swarm back into foursquare.
Crawling slow on iOS 9...Come on guys...!!!
In this new version the notifications do not clear off after read.
Since the most recent update, on the watch version, the app requests to turn on location services for the app even if its already on.
I love this app! Wish i could get more friends to join in! Would love to see some challenge type lists added!
Last week went to update Swarm which I use daily & it will not finish loading. Looks like its done but not. Not sure if I delete the app & reload if it will help or will delete all my stickers, checkins, etc. Emailed support like they said to do & nobody got back to me. Very disappointed for being a long time user of the App. :(
I really dislike the addition of a leaderboard. There really is no game mechanic to swam. Its just to keep track of locations and find nearby friends.
UPDATE: Version 3.3.2 They finally made it fun again! They brought back points, the leaderboard, mayorships, and everything that was fun about Foursquare. Too bad everybody left when they screwed things up. I still dont like the separate apps concept - it was fine before. The Apple Watch app is also too slow and buggy to be usable. I wish people came back! UPDATE: Version 1.0.6: Nope - still not better. Now that the main Foursquare app isnt allowing native check-ins, and you MUST check-in through Swarm, Im on the verge of giving up. No more stats, no more history, no more badges. I havent seen a company implosion like this in a long time... Ive used Foursquare for 4 years now, and I may not use it anymore after this change. Swarm is pretty, but far less useful than the old Fourquare was. I care less about where my friends are (since only about 15 of my friends use it, and they arent my closest friends). I cared much more about keeping track of where Id been, the recommendations and tips for nearby places (with a map), and keeping a diary of my activities. I also enjoyed the gamification - it was fun! Swarm no longer has points, the mayorships are completely different, the stickers (replace badges) are useless, and you have to switch to the Foursquare app for recommendations/tips. Why Why Why? Oh well... so much for Foursquare. I guess Ill use Yelp more often.
Four square was better
While Foursquare was never really popular in Canada, its deader than dead now. Such a shame cause it was it fun for a while.
Originally started with Foursquare, I segwayed to Swarm. Photograph your travels and share it with your friends. Earn prizes and describe your activities. Fun for those who dont mind sharing their movements.
Release notes repeat themselves, not explaining whats in the update.
I like the app but I really do need a reminder to swarm when I go places!
Maybe you should add a share game button because I want to show this to everyone I know
Great app for remembering where youve been and, sometimes, meeting new people.
Luv the app, fun
I only have this app because four square forced it!! It covers some places Foursquare cant find. Great job. Good app!
But....I am on the iPhone 5S...and the Swarm redesigned app looks like it only for iPhone 6/6S & Plus users? I would like to see this redesigned app...but I guess I will have to open up my iPhone 6S to find out if it only for the iPhone 6 models? :( :)
So Foursquare started as a game, then they took the gamification out when they made it Swarm, now theyve brought it back. Better late than never I guess.
Love this app use it every day
