### 3/5 — Petite decouverte

*2022-02-18*

Rapidité, efficacité

### 3/5 — Faster to check in than the official app

*2020-09-17, version 2.13.3*

Apple Watch app stopped working after ios14 update. 

Faster to check in using this app than on swarm. Even better on the Apple Watch. Shows list of nearby and which swipe and your done.

### 5/5 — Love the simplicity!

*2020-05-27, version 2.13.2*

Love the simplicity and ease of use of the app. If I can be picky, it would be to say I wish it had a widget.

### 5/5 — Checkie

*2020-04-15*

Checkie ist eine tolle App, die einem erlaubt, sekundenschnell einzuchecken. Bei Swarm dauert es sehr viel länger.

### 4/5 — Fast and lightweight on the phone

*2020-01-31, version 2.13.1*

Buttttt rather slow to load on Apple Watch. I end up having to open my phone a lot instead.

### 5/5 — Simple and works well

*2020-01-04, version 2.13.1*

Hope for quick attaching photo function though!

### 5/5 — Immer noch die beste Foursquare App

*2019-09-20*

Genau das was man will: Schnell Einchecken, fertig. Schön schlicht, aber nicht hässlich und auch über LaunchCenter Pro ansprechbar. 

Jetzt auch mit Darkmode. Super 👍

### 5/5 — Good start

*2019-03-16*

Good app, waiting for the opportunity to add photos to check-in (preferably several) and check-in friends.

### 4/5 — 位置情報…

*2019-02-07*

Twitterに自動投稿してくれる機能のためにApple Watchで使ってますが、位置情報が更新されないのが微妙…
位置情報設定にて、使用中のみ許可ではなく常に許可できるようになったらいいな…

### 5/5 — Works nicely, and with good VoiceOver support!

*2018-07-05, version 2.10.8*

It’s so much quicker to check into a venue than with the Swarm app - with all of Swarm’s stupid pop ups.
This app is very usable with VoiceOver as well.

### 5/5 — Update issue?

*2018-03-16*

Great app but stop working at 03/16/18

**Developer response:** This was a small hiccup in Foursquare's service, it has since been resolved.

### 5/5 — Schnell, Zuverlässigkeit, Gut!

*2017-10-10*

Schneller, schnörkelloser Foursquare Checkin mit Geste. Schneller geht es nicht! Endlich macht Einchecken wieder Spaß. Danke! Auf der Apple Watch funktioniert die App sogar in der LTE Version ganz ohne iPhone. Und ab iPhone 7 gibt es sogar Feedback über die Taptic Engine beim Check-In. Ein Traum!

### 4/5 — Падает iOS 9.3.3

*2017-10-03*

Падает после последнего обновления, пользоваться невозможно :( iOS 9.3.3

**Developer response:** This will be fixed in the next update, 2.10.3. Sorry for the inconvenience!

### 5/5 — Schneller CheckIn

*2017-06-21*

Super App zum schnellen CheckIn.

### 5/5 — Livid this app

*2017-05-17, version 2.10*

Checkie is a must if you use Swarm/Foursquare to check in.  It is quick and sorts by he places you check in the most.

### 5/5 — Private check-ins!

*2017-05-13, version 2.10*

Without Checkie it would be much harder to use Foursquare/Swarm as a journal. It's great for job interviews, gift shopping, and the mundane stuff you don't care to share.

### 5/5 — Works great fast and efficient!

*2017-05-12, version 2.10*

Works great fast and efficient!

### 5/5 — Watch app crashes on launch

*2017-03-05, version 2.9.6*

Keeping a 5 star review cause I am running the betas on my watch and phone. But right now when loading locations the Watch app crashes every time. Hopefully they fix it soon love this app ways more then the swarm one.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Date and time

*2020-03-15, version 2.13.1*

Date and time

### 1/5 — Apple Watchでの動作が遅すぎる

*2019-09-01*

Apple Watchでのリストの更新が遅すぎる。アプリ起動→リスト更新まで2分近く掛かる。
この間、Apple Watchがスリープしない様に腕を上げたまま待っていなければならず、ポケットからiPhone出してチェックインした方が早い。

【追記】ベンダーから解決したと回答があったが、全く改善しておらず、相変わらずApple Watch上でのリスト更新に分単位で時間が掛かる。
他にもApple Watch対応のswarmチェックイン対応アプリがあるが、皆この程度なんだろうか？

**Developer response:** This was a small hiccup in Foursquare's service, it has since been resolved.

### 1/5 —  WATCH APP!!!

*2015-10-13*

Not working on watchOS 2. 
IT always writes "Error loading. Retry?"

Reinstalling and rebooting don't help!

Fix it up!

### 1/5 — Вылетает

*2015-04-16*

После обновления вылетает при запуске на iphone 4

### 1/5 — Awful

*2014-01-15, version 2.5.2*

Do not download this crap!

### 1/5 — CRASH!

*2013-12-06, version 2.5*

Can someone fix this new update. I cannot use it 😔. I shouln't update the app.

### 1/5 — crash at the start

*2013-12-03*

the app crashes at the start after the last update.

### 5/5 — Metin

*2025-12-18, version 2.16.7*

👍

### 5/5 — swarmのUI改悪で、このアプリが有益に

*2025-08-08*

swarmのUI改悪でポイントの多い都市部ほど目的のチェックインポイントが検索でも出てこなくなりました。そこでこのアプリを利用することで、素早く目的のチェックインできます。飛行機助かっています。可能であればバッジが選択できるようになること。GPSと連動したお気に入りポイントを登録できるとさらに良いように思います。

### 5/5 — 爆速チェックインッ！

*2025-07-30*

７月にあったアプデでSwarmは見るも無惨な姿になってしまいました、しかしこのCheckieがあれば直感的に操作し、快適にべニューへのチェックインを行えるでしょう。なんならメモ残さなければ左から右にスワイプするだけでチェックイン完了、ノーストレスです。写真やTIPSは投稿出来ないので、そこは本家から操作しなくてはなりませんが。
あと作者さん、投稿の✅ボタンは下にしてくれるとうれしいなぁ。

### 5/5 — Foursquare

*2024-12-10, version 2.15.4*

5

### 5/5 — 操作が直感的

*2023-06-24*

アプリを開いて直ぐにスポットが表示されて、これをスライドするとチェックイン出来るのが直感的で好きです。とてもわかりやすいUIで、本家Swarmアプリよりも使いやすいです。
チェックイン済みかどうかも表示されるのでありがたいです。

### 5/5 — Better than the Foursquare app

*2021-11-03, version 2.14*

All the pros, none of the cons

### 5/5 — Essential

*2021-10-06, version 2.14*

Works great on the iPhone and works even better on the Apple Watch. Perfect for a quick check in on the go without any fuss.

### 5/5 — Atendimento nota 1.000

*2021-09-14, version 2.13.4*

Revenda de material escolar, escritório, papelaria, INFORMATICA. Atendimento SHOW!

### 5/5 — Works flawlessly

*2021-08-09, version 2.13.4*

Much better than Swarm’s official watch app.

### 5/5 — Hệ thống nha khoa Sài Gòn Tâm Đức - Trung Tâm

*2021-03-01, version 2.13.4*

nha khoa không đau
