Remember last twelvemonth whenFoursquare divide its app in two , and got rid of all the fun features that actually made people want to utilise Foursquare ? Well , multitude like me did n’t care it ! Now Foursquare is second down , at least a little bite . you could now be a mayorof your favorite coffee shop again !
This functionality has been gone for a while , so why exactly did Foursquare bring it back ?
When Foursquare split its app in two , the checkout - in functionality was all builtinto a new app called Swarm . Which would n’t have matter if Foursquare had n’t gotten disembarrass of badges and the regular method acting for becoming city manager in the outgrowth . or else , you take to be city manager amongst your friends only . Which form of sucks because you have maybe one other Quaker who goes to the same coffee bean shop as you . ( what is more , badges became game - buns stickers to affix to profile picture . You also get a creepy functionality that tells people where you are all the prison term . Woohoo . )

Instantly , you lose much of the motivator for check in to the freaking Coffee Bean every day . Personally , I liked to collect as many Mexican joints , and indie motion-picture show theaters , and concert venues as I could . When Foursquare stopped pay back my dedication to populating its app with activity , I barricade caring about Foursquare . Once an avid oversharer , I do n’t use it at all any more .

Foursquare appears to recognise its error and is turning back the clocks a snatch — you may now compete globally for mayorships again . perhaps Foursquare will be capable torescue itself from flail , but I ’m not rushing to download the app again .
