Swarm, the new app from Foursquare, is the fastest way to keep up and meet up with your friends. With Swarm, you can easily see who s out nearby and who wants to hang out ...
Liked them as 1 app more Thanks for bringing back mayorships as eliminating them was a huge mistake in the first place They should still be in one app in my opinion and I bet your user engagement on Foursquare dropped tremendously when you split Swarm off Enhance dont overhaul what was a great app              Liked them as 1 app more
This is great                 Poop
The actions and responsiveness are very slow on iPhone 5 w iOS 9 Please improve the overall performance on older devices        Slow on iPhone 5
It seems that SwarmFoursquare has found a way to ruin another app The coins and mayorships were great Now the new update has major glitches where you get zero coins all day long and lose mayorships They need to fix this or else theres no reason to keep it Bad news     Bad changes
I only can see one friend in the friend tab through worldwide It seems broken     Only showing one friend in list
Having used Foursquare for the past 4 years having over 4000 checkins and almost 100 tips Im worried at this new direction I downloaded Swarm and attempted to use it for an hour instead of Foursquare Unfortunately when browsing around the app I was constantly kicked out of Swarm and shoveled Foursquare Why would I want to be jumping from app to app Its cumbersome to be jumping from app to app So I deleted Swarm I see no use for Swarm as Foursquare on its own works perfectly fine Edit now that Foursquare no longer allows the checkins Ive deleted Foursquare too     4 year old Foursquare user
Recent update solved previous issue Swarm remains the best way to share my location with friends and provides an amusing way to explore the world              Check it out
The app was working fine until I upgraded and now it is slow or unresponsive     Terrible on iOS 9 with iPhone 5
I like loggingin to places as a record of where Ive been SWARM FOURSQUARE should return to being one unified app           Still redundant Having FOURSQUARE SWARM hogs up space on my home screen
I loved it when four square was one app Having two separate apps is dumb Anyway I like the Apple Watch integration but its still slow Looking for optimization But I dont think there is any kind of competition for this type of app so it reigns king or um mayor of this space              Glad its back
Crashes more than the Dave Matthews Band Cannot use the app on iOS 902     Crash
The stalker messaging feature is a privacy nightmare and shows your exact GPS location to who youre messaging with with NO WAY to disable it It blows my mind how there is no way to turn that off Ok we already have like 73 million messaging apps so now Swarm wants a piece of the pie But I still cant get over the terrible decision they made to split Swarm off from Foursquare 90 of the time I check in on Swarm I have to open it in Foursquare to read the tips look at the pictures etc It just doesnt make any sense to dilute the Foursquare brand with Swarm Everyone knew what Foursquare was and they used it No one uses Swarm because its yet another app they have to download I wish things could go back to the way they were and just have Foursquare for checkins and browsing venues Sadly I think Swarm was the nail in the Foursquare coffin     GPS STALKER CHAT
I cant add any more friends Is there any problem     Add
I moved recently an I am trying to change The location on my profile but I dont know how to get to it              How
not really sure why they initially split up swarm from foursquare but at least they are bringing back all the stuff they removed from the beginning                 Keep it up
It suddenly happened last week when I updated my Swarm App and when I passed 1k coins on the leaderboard And Ive been checking in and I havent received any coins Its kinda frustrating Please Is theres any technical glitch or something Ive sign outreinstallthe app and still stuck with the same problem Help please        CheckIn with NO COINS
The App is great for viewing places and opinions of others on them places Also great for discovering new places                 Best app for getting info on places
app is overall good but im giving one star because 1 Coins have no use and purpose other than charts Give them some sort of Credit please 2 very bad and ugly icon please change it to something minimal and simple kinda like the foursquare new icon 3 when someone check ins alot in a short time give users the ability to see them sortet as one check in like your friend checked in at 12 places in the last 3 hours tap to view them all This way the timeline wont be so messy and long to scroll Thanks     Still UGLY ICON
The app is so slow when launching and after doing a checking is worse     Very slow
Ive been using foursquare consistently since 2009 and I was among the first 40000 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 badgesticker 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 checkin 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 checkin experience This version of Swarm is the best yet but whats with the icon It takes me back to 2012 in a bad way It looks totally out of place amongst the other flat icons of iOS 89 Im looking forward to seeing the app evolve and improve over the coming weeksmonths Take a walk down memory lane and discover a few of your old badges                 Constant iteration and improvement
Latest OS update broke the watch app     Watch app broken
Ever since the last updateI am unable to check in anywhere At all I just get Oops Something went wrong It will not locate suggest or even search where I am anymore Just Oops Something went wrong It also will not update my feed According to the app none of my friends have checked in anywhere in a week     Please Fix This New Bug
Mayorship are back Love Swarm Its great for letting me keep track of all the places I go and look back later Also really like the new messaging feature to coordinate with friends and make plans The new version looks like its bringing back some of my old school favorites                 Great App to Track Places and Keep in Touch with Friends
Please fix the hideous icon Return the old one     Icon
La aplicación no habré en mi Apple Watch Se queda loading        Apple Watch
I have fun with this And I can keep up with my out of town friends                 How much fun is this
This seems like the downhill turn for four square Like everyone else having 2 apps is ridiculous and makes me not want to use either anymore You say you are listening to users If so this app wouldnt exist     The end is near
With foursquare only one app And a lot of stuff     Old version was better
After iOS 9 update its not working I get the notifications but the app itself unresponsive wen I open Tried reinstalling but nothing changed     Not working on ios9
Neat              Apps
Please change the text size if you are looking to add more to the check in so you can read it before posting           Text size
I like the idea of fun factsbut can we please get accurate ones Fun facts arent fun when theyre factually incorrect              Fun Facts
Abysmally slow on iOS9 Please fix     Not happy
Update has broken Watch app     Watch App
All of my family members are on Swarm and its really fun to see what they are up to what restaurants and other attractions they have tried etc Its also very useful if were separated during a gettogether and are meeting back upyou can tell when people arrive at destinations etc              Fun
Awesome app need more stickers a lot of them more than 200 gonna be great hope the developers do that                 Great app love it
I love it Whoever came up with the stickers is a genius                 Swarm
So I lost all of the stickers I had earnedwhat happened So frustrated almost ready to give upthey already discontinued the 100 badges I had earned in four square and was very bummed then Decided to finally do swarm went they tried the badges and now they are gone This is the only appeal of this app badges or stickers otherwise I will just use Facebook for posting my location Hope someone will get my stickers back for me           I want my missing stickers back really after you took away the badges
Pleased that swarm and Foursquare functionality have been separated Use daily and like both apps Messaging in Swarm is buggy I am unable to retrieve read and clear these notifications Its stuck doesnt work well           Messaging is buggy
Swarm was great until iOS 9 was released Since its release Ive updated Swarm three times and it still has bugs and glitches that show blank check ins blank badges and notifies many hours later of a friends checkin        Great until update to IOS 9
Great use of Digital Crown I had to allow background location access I hope it was absolutely necessary                 Great Watch App
It wont let me sign up why Im 13 this app is HORRIBLE     Horrible
Things have really improved swarm is a game again Its fun to use this app and it integrates with foursquare quite nicely now                 Great app Much improved
Overall I like that the app is moving back to resemble foursquare Hopefully coins will eventually be usable for discounts at places I frequent However that app really needs a feature that prevents people from checking into multiple places within seconds just because they are nearby It should be a reasonable time lock out For example if you check in to a sit down restaurant you should be expected to remain there for at least 30 minutes and therefore not be able to checkin again during that time              Fun needs improvement
Put this back with 4 square and fix the broken watch app The watch keeps saying to allow location but it already IS allowed in the app So basically I have to pull my phone out to check in each time     Listen to users
Ever since the update I have not been able to check in on my Apple Watch I double checked to make sure everything is set correctly but the app tells me to unlock my iPhone every time I open it        Apple Watch issues
I dont really use this app as a social network I use it more a log of locations Ive visited For example I can quickly look back at all the movies Ive seen in the theatre in the 3 years Ive been using Foursquare and Swarm I have a monthly car wash subscription I use swarm to see how much Im using it Love this app                 The Best Check In App
Using Foursquare alone was simple easy and fun I am constantly uninstallingreinstalling Swarm to remove notifications that wont go away I shouldnt have to turn it off either I have no problem with change but this is becoming repetitive now And whats the point of two different apps           I Dont Know
1010107                 1010107
It takes longer to even load the glance than it takes to take out my phone Pathetic The watch app crashed before it could even load anything     Unusably slow
