Great for finding good coffee near you.

Have had a lot of success with this app. I mainly use it to find good coffee.

Back after 3 years but

Hey guys. So it’s been 3 years. What changed? Well I like that you ditched google maps. But user experience? Why am I constantly getting a pop up asking me to enable Always On location tracking? I already set my setting at the start. This is ruining basic user experience from screen 1. Would like to have this fixed please.

Pollo Lico

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.

Constant nagging for always on location

I’ve loved Foursquare for years, but there recent trend of constantly pestering you to give always on location access is pushing me towards uninstalling. Hopefully they can go back to their less invasive ways.

I travel a lot and foursquare is a great companion / local guide. It's fun, easy to use and beautifully designed and gets frequent updates. Much better for finding restaurants and cafes than trip advisor or yelp.

Only thing I'd change is sometimes it's hard to get it to show you things which are really close, it seems to defer to things a little bit away. Minor issue, great product.

Can’t delete individual history entries

Hi guys! What’s going on with the app lately? For a couple of months now I’ve been unable to delete entries from my history. These entries were added by background location tracking but they don’t correspond to places I’ve actually been. They account for 10-20% of the places in my history and I want to clean them up. I’ve tried both “no, and remove from my history option” when selecting a place, and also swipe to the left and delete on the history screen. In both cases, the locations are still in the list when I refresh and even after lots of time has passed. This part of the app really needs a some testing and UX love.

I Love Kickboxing - Liverpool NY

Great food app!

I’ve use this app in several cities to find good places to eat. It never strayed me wrong like all the other apps have and I always found a great experience when I use this. Thank you for making a quality product, you were the best.

Very useful tool for quickly assessing what is in the vicinity

Foursquare is the first app I go to whenever I need to know where a particular service is in an area - whether it’s my home area or a place I’m visiting.

Much better than TripAdvisor

It accurately prompts you for reviews based on where you are. It is full of places that are positively and negatively reviewed. Pictures and layout are easily viewable.
Suggestions for improvement: have a separate menu tab rather than relying on individuals to upload pictures of the menu and include a filter that selects whether they are dog friendly and vegetarian options!
