### 2/5 — Rubbish

*2024-12-30, version 1.0.1*

Now Foursquare isn’t a thing anymore you can’t login now I’ve changed my account

### 2/5 — swarm

*2024-12-17*

Now that four square has discontinued please connect chekky to swarm

### 2/5 — update your app

*2023-09-25*

it keeps disconnecting from Foursquare and then refusing to connect every few days

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-10-06*

Since iOS 15.1 it didn’t work Monday worked Tuesday didn’t work Wednesday

### 5/5 — Genius app

*2020-07-25, version 1.0.1*

Genius idea of an app. It’s pretty accurate and only tags you automatically if you stop moving at the places you want to auto check in. Doesn’t tag you in if you walk past or drive past.

### 1/5 — Was awesome

*2019-01-08, version 1.0.1*

This app was awesome, but doesn’t seem to connect to Foursquare anymore. Clicking allow after logging in just says something went wrong, and offers to try again, which is a loop.

### 3/5 — iOS 12 issues?

*2018-09-19, version 1.0.1*

Doesn’t seem to be working with iOS 12. Worked great (maybe too well?) before upgrading.

### 5/5 — The best app ever

*2017-11-05, version 1.0.1*

This app is awesome! I now don’t have to ever open swarm to Check in into the places I always go. It’s $1.99 for unlimited places, but it totally worth it!
Thanks and keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Please update.

*2017-06-04, version 1.0.1*

Works before. But now on iOS 10 I can't allow notifications for it. Does not show in the Settings of the Phone.

### 1/5 — It doesn't work (iOS 10)

*2016-09-25, version 1.0.1*

It says something went wrong and doesn't let me add any venues.
