Need greeters to help handicap
I was at Meigers today, and there was a 72 year old Beautiful lady sitting by the door with a cart. I went to the pharmacy and got my stuff and when I was leaving she was still sitting there so I asked her are you alright? She said no I’m not alright! She was out of breath from walking. There was no greeters to help her or to even help her. After I got John the pharmacist to help things start happening. But I just was walking by she needed helpers to get things done. We waited over 1 hour for help. I had to ask their bus driver to wait for her . Meigers really dropped the ball today . What IF SHE WAS YOUR MOTHER. 😟Show lesscancel 12345
Fully Broken
This app doesn’t even get as far as an account login/sign up. It’s immediately “oops something went wrong” followed by a blank screen with a loading animation that never goes away.
I submitted a bug report but the process to do so was so cumbersome and unclear, I’m not sure if my bug report was even captured. This problem persists through using WiFi and cellular data and after re-installing the app from scratch.
I’m a software engineer and this is pretty terrible guys. I was ready to replace Yelp with this because I’m simply tired of Yelp, but that’s not possible if the extent of your app’s functionality is an error message and a blank loading screen.Show less@forgo
That did not work
I downloaded the program three times with the same results. The program starts and then a popup appears stating “Oops something went wrong” then a red circle starts rotating. The last time I tried to run the program when red circle started I placed the phone down on the table and checked it after one hour still circling then at two then three hours with the same thing going on. I then checked before going to bed still circling, got up in the morning and closed and removed the program as a lost cause. I’m now going to try something else to use with my Garmin RV780 for our travels.Show lessgjbeeck
A shadow of former glory...
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.Show lessLecto-Sama
Used to be good
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.Show lessTechno Shaman
All the tips are not visible!
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.Show lessozgur2017
Good food and good times
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!!Jakej975
Perfect app, with perfect data everywhere
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?ShayanOH
This App is Garbage
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.Show lessLandry Sims

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.Show lesselgrego1939
