Foursquare deleted all my lists
I've been using Foursquare and Swarm since 2013 and carefully curated lists of all my favorite places in some 10 cities around the globe since then. One day I opened the app and was shocked that all the lists I had created were gone. When I contacted customer service, they said this was because they had flagged my account for not following house rules. I use Foursquare/Swarm almost every day, so this struck me as odd. I read the house rules and confirmed I hadn't violated any of them. The developer said they would restore my lists. A week later, when none of my lists were back, I followed up. The developer said they had deleted all my lists by mistake when they placed the flag on the account! I'm deeply disappointed in the app, and never coming back.

Great for finding vegetarian restaurants whilst travelling
Foursquare is my go-to app for finding food whilst travelling. It’s great for vegetarians and vegans as when you search it searches the reviews/tips for key words. Also very handy to read menus in the app.
App has many glitches during signup
Wasted so much time trying to set up account

Still haven’t found what i’m looking for
I actually do like this app and i love making lists for trips that i am planning. What frustrates me sometimes so much is the search functionality. Sometimes it simply won’t find a place that exists and is on its system and i have to use google or another app that uses foursquare’s location finder in order to find the place, then open it up in foursquare.

"Oops, something went wrong"
I stuck with Foursquare after the split (even though I wasn't pleased about it) and have been contributing for years. But a few weeks ago the apps stopped working with the VPN services I use. Really? I hate to do it but I guess it's time to finally get rid of the apps. As a cybersecurity professional I constantly run VPN for a number of reasons, and if my IP address is that valuable it's time to move on.

Very inaccurate data
I got this app because I needed to manage information about my business listing. In order to do that I had to pay $20 to claim my own business listing. In addition I had to pay $20 for a listing of a business that was in my same location so that I could close it out.
In the process of verifying my data I discovered at least 4 additional listings in my area that are obsolete, at least 3 of them are 6 years out of date.
I can not recommend this app because the data is simply incorrect. There are better apps than this if you’re looking for local info.

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. 😟

Doesn’t detail current info - rubbish listing new places
I recently visited a vegan cafe in Chiang Mai called Cafe Cocohut, who did amazing smoothie bowls. I realised they weren’t listed on FourSquare so decided they really deserved to be listed. I tried again and again over a few days to list them and post a review with pics as this place was so deserving of recognition. I’m back home in the UK, almost 2 weeks after my attempts to add Cafe Cocohut and still nothing. I even emailed FourSquare to explain my attempt to submit a listing, no response, nothing!
A WASTE OF TIME! Why bother with an app when it’s clearly not representing current information or responding to its users? 🤔 A previous review or tag line made comparisons with Trip Advisor? Not even close! As a result of my experiences I would regard the validity of ANY information on this app with a pinch of salt.
