Foursquare City Guide App Reviews

still missing the arabic language

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Genius way to share ! Thanks so much from thegoatcottage.com

Love this app it keeps track of all my spots and past places I have been

Finding it very difficult to edit my own information for my business.

Difficult to navigate to the appropriate tools, as if they were hidden. Items that have just been entered become uneditable.

I created a profile for my business and it does not show up in any search unless you search by the exact name. I wanted to claim it as my business and Foursquare wanted to charge me $20. What a crappy site. I guess I don’t care to have my business listed here if I have to pay for it.

What can one do with the stash of swarm coins?

It seems that the app cannot handle extensive profiles browsing and keeps on locking, crushing and now I am not able to log in to my account either... Same issue continues on 2/16/2019, a different day... same not fixed issue.

Cut the rating system to out of 5

I even sent an email to your support a very detailed description of the problem with screenshots but still no fix yet: On the tips tab, when I click "All Tips", not all of the tips are visible but just exactly 20 of them. for example there are 500 tips for a restaurant, but the app shows me only 20 of them. But interestingly when I click one of the tags, e. g. "hamburger" which is let's say 150 times repeated among the tips all 150 of them are shown. And when I write a review for that venue then all of the 500 reviews become suddenly all visible to me. So unless I write a review for a venue I can only see first 20 the reviews even if it has hundreds of reviews. I have this issue with foursquare from the very start please fix this. update march 19: still no fix.

More compatible and more user-centric than Yelp and a fine app. I got it because of a recent podcast about the creator and have loved it!

Been a while sense I logged in. Tried to change my password, because it said I have to, yet didn’t get an email. Finally went through support and got the password changed, and now it’s making me do it again, as if I didn’t just changed my password....are we in the 1990s again?

I’ve used Foursquare to find awesome places! Why waste time and money with hit or miss when you can get a recommendation from people who have actually frequented a place?

Just love it, thanks for making g it easy to find amazing spots-but please keep updating :)

We have been in contact with Foursquare and posting for 4 years and they fail to recognise us—we feel it’s discrimination.

Simply amazing ice cream!🏳️‍🌈

I can no longer see reviewers’ expertise or even my own. What’s the point in reading tips if we can’t identify the expert reviewers?

Used to prefer this over the Yelp app, but it’s now fallen behind. The core design is still nice, but new venues show up on Yelp much sooner than they do in Foursquare (if at all). To make matters worse, the app has been throwing errors for some time when trying to add a venue manually, or edit a venue to make suggestions (such as when a venue has closed permanently, to add hours, a location, etc). These errors were reported to the Foursquare team almost five months ago and have still not been addressed. It really does feel like Foursquare’s pivot has left the original app on life support.

I have requested MULTIPLE times to have my business address changed via the APP and it hasn’t happened. Not even a follow up email...nothing.

Up until about a week ago I always considered Foursquare a more functional & aesthetically pleasing alternative to Yelp, however, that ship has sailed with the removal of the “Expertise” system. Removal of the “Expertise” system did a handful of really detrimental things: removing the ability to easily know if a user was reliable, removing a great organizational system for your tips, & removing a fun sense of progression. This update really killed Foursquare for me, & that’s with it already lingering behind Yelp in terms of users & current data. TLDR: Foursquare lost a lot of functionality in a recent update. It’s not worthwhile & you should focus your energy & time on Yelp.

Please add option to add if chair for kids is available

Not bad but doesn't make my app weenie wiggle. Update 2-18-19 Why am I standing in Kroger and I have to search the list of Kroger stores over 10 miles from me that I never have been to? Is distance order that difficult? Sounds like poor app writers to me.

The app could potentially be a pretty cool tool to share your experiences. I created my business in 4 different cities but I made a mistake to make the sites Private. I’ve been trying to make it public the entire day but unsuccessful. Terrible experience. Hopefully someone will read this and help me out because... man.... again, terrible.

All my apps and social media run seamlessly with this app

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS REBRAND TBQH....WOW

Plenty of good recommendations of things to see in whatever city you may find yourself!

If it’s rated 8-10 on here it’s likely a 2-3 Star yelp review and not worth your time. Also make sure you turn off all push notifications because they will spam you via them often with recommendations to try for places thousands of miles away that you’ve already been to or would never go to. Literally the only thing Foursquare exists for anymore is to try to track your location 24/7 to seek you to other companies. There is zero value left in their recommendation engine and the way they openly flaunt selling your location for nothing to everyone is horrifying.

This is good to see what other people say about a place u would like to go

A great tool for exploring a city whether you’re new to a city or familiar with it.

Very helpful for finding good food

Is foursquare still a “thing”?

Yelp garbage. Yelp are bad, dishonest people. Long live foursquare. No, I’m not paid by 4sq, though that would be awesome and I’d love to work for them

helping my friends business up dating there info none of it been updated I just made account though try this app out. It’s like think over 48hrs no updated info. Websites, hours etc. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Stop with the dark patterns on every screen asking me to turn on “always allow location tracking. Presenting it once is ok, but not on every screen. Respect users and their desire for privacy.

Every time I use the app it prompts me to change locations settings to ‘always’. After the first ten times this is incredibly annoying. I would rate at five stars otherwise.

Too bad this doesn't have a category for truck stops. It looks like I visit a lot of "Gas Stations". July 2018.

❤️❤️👍🏽

App keeps crashing....

Love it

I want to thank the staff at the Capital One branch we’re going above and beyond helping us. Everyone was so help and friendly.

Regardless of where I go, this app has the best information and recommendations. Great variety of information as well.

With the ease of finding things, seeing what other people rate it and what is recommended Foursquare makes searching faster.

Great salon and spa. Many different options to keeping improving as I age! Thank you!

I am so glad I walked in the door at to this place. Positive, kind and highly motivated trainers work here. They all give their best to help each person that comes in the door. Thanks!

Perfect!!!

You have zero knowledge

Foursquare has been constantly evolving. Now it’s a resource to discover cool places to visit, from sightseeing to great dining, local staples, hidden gems... all over the world!! It’s fantastic to get their recommendations when you arrive in a new city or neighborhood, so you feel like you have bases everywhere... I know there are more features to discover and I can’t wait!

Love the app

Bad service. Went in tonight to buy a skirt and It was close to closing. The woman stared and frowned at me. If you don't like people get another job. I walked out and will never go to one of these stores again.

I’ve used this apps in the USA, Canada, and Europe. Works well. Fun way to find good food and things to do

Title says it all, latest release ... Ipad Pro 10.5 2017 ios 11.4.

I find this app is the best to guide me in Riyadh or Jedda for good spots and restaurants :)

ممتاز

Jamás me ha fallado fuera y dentro del país, la mejor aplicación para saber a donde ir, que comer y hacer

it still crash when you search photos or search some places , every 5 min crash , iPhone 8 iOS 11.3.1. also iPhone 6 iOS 9.3

Heard about this spot from a food blogger (Devore Power) and knew that I wanted to try it when I came to Aruba. I’m glad I did. Great food, inexpensive and great atmosphere. The staff was friendly also. A must do if in Aruba.

Nice

Very good app love it I’ve been using it for more than 5 years

How can a release note say “nothing you’d wonder, we’re just testing some things”? If you want to test things, pay up and buy your own test devices, Doofus!

Great Great I do not know how to live without this service. Always there, ha ha. Use it!! You will see yourself what I’m talking about!!

Great application for finding things to do, especially in a city. Use the filters, or create a list of places you want to check out.

Foursquare is like a friend who has been everywhere. They have great suggestions and can find just about anything. Thanks!

Best app ever helpful

The Kierland Hotel is special! Beautiful golf course and the restaurant, Deseos is amazing. Five star customer service!

Wow, this app has come a long way! It is full of great info/suggestions on things to do in your area!!!

Love this app! Great eating resources when trying to find something different and new!

This place is Great if your looking for some Great chicken. More of a local known spot if you are into those type of restaurants. I would definitely pick this place over the more Traditional Pollo loco. The place dose not have much seating inside. There is a billiards next to it where you can also play and order from there if you'd like to stay and have some drinks. As far as the other things on the menu. I have not yet tryed.

I think everybody need this app

This company has the very worst customer service of any modern day app. You can’t call so you are forced to send emails. It takes days for a response and when they finally do respond it is with a canned, automatic response. Extremely frustrating. Don’t waste your time with these guys. Terrible!

This is absolutely ridiculous! I set up this app when our shop was in a different spot and a different location. I can not update any shop info or my own profile info. Nothing Saves. It says all the changes are saved but when I go to look at them all the information is exactly the same. This is extremely frustrating and have heard nothing from the app developers on resolutions.

Fail to load

I’ve used Foursquare for years and still recommend it to everyone I know. I have lists created for every city I visit and loads of NYC lists to keep up with all my favorite places and newest hot spots to check out. Love this app! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

they really stepped their game up and the app is now much more enjoyable to use and stay connected with my city

Cool

I usually don’t write reviews, but it’s crazy how much I use this app and how useful it is. I travel a lot, been to 100+ cities and I love exploring new places to eat and drink. I have been using Foursquare for over 5 years and it has been accurate for me like 99.99% of the time, you can search for anything from restaurants to patios, to cafes, to which beach to go in Malibu.. I have not come across a better travel companion

Four square has come a long way since the beginning when I first got it. Gives great tips and suggestions for any kind of meal your feeling. Helpful reviews for many tastes.

Excellent Food, Quick Food, Great Service, Fast Service. This is my third visit. I love it. Working out of town, I’ll visit here weekly until my project is done then I’ll visit on my bike trips thru here thereafter!

Haven’t done Foursquare in forever. Thought I would try it again. This app won’t even open. See ya....

Very useful. Well done.

Best APP if you go anywhere you don’t know

Ordered soup and watched the preparer place her finger in it before serving it to me. Was offered no compensation when I had to order something in its place.

Doesn’t give me credit for linking achievement app to it and yes all settings and services are where they need be if it gets fixed I’ll change my rating to 5

Out date address. Store was sold to a new owner (me). New owner (me) has tried to update info for four years and counting. Got a problem with Foursquare? Yes and it’s taking a long time to fix. I will look into legal action to resolve this and seek damage compensation through my lawyer.

Great way to inflate your downloads. Thanks for taking up space on my phone so I can check one review.

I really like Foursquare, and it is really easy to find perfect places for a dinner or hangouts. My only problem is the notifications where Foursquare shows tips and asks if you are at a specific place. It has two options: upvote tip, or checkin! What if I want to do both?

My Verizon store sent me to apple in tukwila. We had to either send the phone in for 2 weeks or wait 3 hours at the store. We drove 1.5 hours to get to the store! They are rude and have no value for your time. I was on the phone with apple for over 30 minutes! Ugh. I don’t think the apple phone is worth all of my time!! I bought a new phone in August and it is already broken!!!

After wasting time trying to add a location, and linking account to untapped, everything was still unsuccessful. Either get your help section up to date, or post some useful how to.

Great app makes life Easier

Excellent Vietnamese food, especially the Beef Cubes and different soups. The prices are also extremely reasonable, so different from other Asian Resturants

If you ever leave your hometown this app is a must for scoping out where to go, what to do, and where to eat!

I spent years creating a list of ‘saved’ places that I have been to and liked in various cities. As I said, it has taken me YEARS to compile this list. You can imagine my frustration to learn that after trying to log in one day, the app said it did not recognize my email address and I have to create an account. My treasured list is totally gone!!! I will never use this app ever again! Btw, after this happened, I talked to several other people that said it happened to them too.

Deleted because I don’t like that it pushes a Facebook sign in. Don’t like Facebook.

The 20+ push notifications you get a day are super useless and annoying

Get rid of this swarm c*** and go back to one app!

Love this game! It’s so funny to be able to say that you own part of a city. Lol keep up the great work. You deserve a cookie 🍪

Outstanding service. The cappuccino was the best I’ve ever had . My husband’s mocha latte was fantastic. The manager was attentive concern about each guest and all questions were addressed and answered. I will announce them on my radio show mj network, fran Lewis mj network mj magazine just reviews

I’ve been trying for hours to get this app to update a location that I’m trying to use with Twitter for a business-related tweet. Not only does the location not show up on Twitter, but when I go in this app to create the location it tells me that it’s already been created. Then when I go to the created page for my business location and try to update the info, all the updates get wiped after hitting save. What even is the point of this app and service/company existing if it can’t do any basic edits such as these. C’mon.

What A GREAT PLACE to find out about places you never been to as well as find stories about FOODS that are real good & well bad to Four Square is A LEGITIMATE SITE WITH GOOD ANSWER’s to where’s & if good or not

I don't need another Yelp or Urban Spoon. I didn't use them either. I'm not interested in Swarm either. I can just check in using Facebook. You've ruined a once great app. Four Square used to be my favorite app. When they dumped checking in and created Swarm that was the end of Foursquare for me. I think I tried Swarm for a couple days and deleted it. Whoever decided to s**** up Foursquare was far from genius.

like that you can create different lists don't like that you can't export your lists to email or text to share with others.

Yelp does not, Foursquare does.

I use Foursquare when traveling and it is without a doubt the best way to find the best restaurants, bars, and things to do.

Girls are super professional. The place is clean and accomdating. Was able to get sprayed immediately upon walk in with no wait. Love it!

I think its ridiculous that check in is in a completely different app, yet comments and stuff has to be done on foursquare .... I stopped using it all together and stuck with fb check in.

Absolutely aweful service, food was not edible

Very bad croassains , from 0 to 10 = 1 point, very good bread but here i am rating croassains, they dont have coffe too!! Very overrated!

Have been wanting Foursquare to get on the stick and start meaningfully competing with Yelp, and it seems that they finally have. Came back to check out the app again after a significant hiatus, and it is pretty nice now. Easy to use, integrates info updates into the reviewing process, visually appealing, etc. Pretty pleased so far. Going to try switching over to it for a while and see how it goes.

YOU STOPPED LETTING ME CHECK IN TO PLACES?????? I never get any badges since I 1st started using the app and also how come when I check in every day at the same time I am told that it is my 3rd check in?? YOUR APP, SWARM, IS ALWAYS WRONG ABOUT CHECK-INS, BASICALLY YOUR APP IS USELESS???!!!!??!!!!

I loved Urban Spoon and for a long time I have found FourSquare a descent substitute. Lately, FourSquare have decided to only display restaurants of their choosing. I travel four days a week, exclusively by airplane and on foot. When I’m standing in the doorway of a restaurant, I expect its rating to be displayed , especially when I sort by distance. Yet lately, I find even nicely rated restaurants missing unless I enter the name manually. Pay to play required of restaurants? Unacceptable.

I travel a lot and frequently like to find the local spots that are good or are less well known. This app is perfect for that. Some of the best food I’ve had and some of the best times I’ve had with family and friends trying new places has been made possible by this app!!

I have tried many times to edit my business listing to include my website, phone number, hours, and Facebook page, but even though I save my edits they do not appear after saving.
