Ive been using foursquare consistently since 2009, and I was among the first 40,000 users. Its great to see some of my favorite gamification concepts return with the release of the latest build; its also great to see the return of mayorships!
I regularly venture out to explore the world around me in an effort to earn yet another badge/sticker.
I have to applaud the team at Foursquare for working full stop by pushing out updates every couple of weeks. I now see that breaking the check-in experience out into its own app was the right move. It allows both users and devs to work together to focus on and improve the overall check-in experience.
Im looking forward to seeing the app evolve and improve over the coming weeks/months.
Take a walk down memory lane and discover a few of your old badges ;)
