This is not necessary at all, and it won’t show you anything on the app without giving it full access to your location. ### 1/5 — No longer dining at Big Kahuna’s in Farragut *2024-07-04* HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. WILL NOT GO BACK. DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT from Big Kahuna in Farragut!! I ordered food to pick up on a Friday night about 5:15pm and it was a cluster "problem" with the food AND the manager, ". The server could not have been kinder or, seemingly, more efficient. The problem appeared to occur in the kitchen. 1. The wings were not all the way cooked! Gross! 2. We did not get the correct sauces OR number of sauces ordered! 3. The green salad was packed under the HOT wings and was wilted! 4. We did not receive ANY salad dressing! 5. The Kale Slaw was packet above the HOT wings and was Extra WARM when we opened it. 6. The Kale Slaw was EXTRA SPICY tonight and was mixed incorrectly! SO, I called back and spoke with the PM Manager, who barely listened and tried to rush me--but apologized and said he would give me a credit. I would RATHER have received a new, CORRECT order, but he was very rushed so I knew they were busy. So I said that's fine. The next day a $5 credit showed up on my bank card!!! Not $49, but $5.00!!! INEXCUSABLY POOR ATTITUDE, FLIPPANT and DISRESPECTFUL, NIGHT MANAGER REGARDING THE HORRIBLE FOOD AND ENTIRE EXPERIENCE!! ### 4/5 — Ok but not for off the beaten path. *2024-07-02* I travel a lot and there are a number of places not in major Center’s that are not in the App. Trying to add them is a real pain and has been taking me far to much time to be useful. It’s a drawback to fellow travellers who may be taking the road less travelled. I tried to add an Ontario Provincial Park today. No success. ### 2/5 — Lunch at Annex *2024-05-09* Annex is located on the beach and has a pleasant atmosphere with polite and welcoming staff. However, the food is extremely poor. I have just spent €200 on a meal for two and I wish I had not eaten there. We ordered Calamari, Burrata and a Greek salad. The Calamari was not fresh and had no taste. We didn’t eat it. The Burrata disintegrated into milk and was served on a few leaves of stale lettuce. The Greek salad was fresh but really disappointing in terms of care. We then had a steak and a burger hoping it would get better but it didn’t. I wish I could say the beer was cold but it wasn’t. I won’t be returning and this is my first ever restaurant review, I felt compelled to help someone else avoid this experience in such a lovely location. ### 1/5 — What a shame *2024-01-30* This is a typical crowdsourcing app, similar to Waze, where it use to be a fun game and the company used the game to get end users to enter in information about different venues. Then took all that data that YOU end users provided for free and now uses that data as the “product” that they offer back. Completely removed the game aspect and makes the app useless. Unless you don’t mind them further data mining you. They definitely sell their data to third party companies because when Foursquare was a fun game, I made a house into a venue and labeled it a bar and it still shows up as a bar in Snapchat Maps. So shameful. ### 1/5 — Frustrating Experience with Foursquare *2024-01-17* I'm compelled to give Foursquare a one-star rating due to the significant disruptions it's causing for businesses, including mine. Despite the app's promising features, it's currently non-functional, affecting critical aspects like updating business locations. This issue has led to lost sales and numerous complications. Even though the app claims it's not working, it still displays outdated information, making it impossible to rectify or claim business listings. The lack of a resolution is immensely problematic and feels borderline negligent. This situation goes beyond inconvenience; it negatively impacts businesses and is, in essence, disrupting livelihoods. Immediate attention is required to address these issues and restore the functionality of the app. Without a prompt resolution, the app's rating becomes an irrelevant consideration, as it's essentially non-existent in its current state. Business owners deserve a functional tool that supports, not hinders, their operations. I urge Foursquare to prioritize resolving these issues swiftly to regain the trust and confidence of its users. ### 5/5 — Great to keep track *2023-12-09* I love the fact I can plan a trip, but also it has given me so many cool recommendations. I use it everywhere I go. ### 5/5 — Great Food Great Service *2023-08-27* We had the pleasure to stay in the hotel behind this restaurant (RK Hotel) for 14 nights. We enjoyed lunches, dinners and drinks either overlooking the beach or poolside service. The food is fresh and quality products are used. Personal service with a smile each time. I strongly recommend dinning here in Kamari. ### 1/5 — New version with lists is horrible *2023-08-15* As a 10+ year Foursquare user I’m truly in disbelief about the overall functionality in the latest version, which makes it almost impossible to manage lists (the primary feature/use of this app for me and most dedicated users). Why do I have to click a million buttons to add something to a specific list now? Why does it immediately add it to my Saved Places rather than giving me the option for which list I’d like to add it to as it did before? Why do lists no longer show the number of places you’ve been to on a list? I’m so confused. One of the most illogical and user un-friendly updates to almost any app I’ve ever used. ### 2/5 — Chekky *2023-07-08* Every time today when I click on the location setting in Chekky, it brings me to your app, and it shows a black screen with blue buttons that won’t bring me to anywhere, please fix it ## Frequently asked questions about Foursquare City Guide ### What does Foursquare City Guide do?
