I don’t like the new virgin
Hard to check into what you missed!
New interface is 👎🏻
Not Easier. Not Faster.
UPDATE: Yeah, sorry, this is an uninstall from me, dawg. I have a superior version on an older phone I haven’t gotten rid of, so I guess I’ll keep using that sometimes, I guess. At least orange was vaguely bee-themed.
But yeah, the ONLY improvement the new version of Swarm enjoys over the one that has existed for almost (over?) a decade is the reintroduction of OG Foursquare features—which, of course, should never have been spun off into a separate app to begin with. Otherwise the whole thing is just a worse experience. It often freezes or doesn’t load, and if it does, the “Change Location” menu mistakes scrolls for taps about 55% of the time. As an OG Foursquare die-hard, this is unbelievably heartbreaking, and I didn’t need one more fresh, new reminder that everything is awful now and there is no refuge from it anywhere.
UPDATE, JULY 21, 2026. Got a new phone and copied the whole phone over that had the last version that was almost usable. Damn app replaced itself with whatever this insane new version is. So there’s finally dark mode… in 2026… and the app is technically responsive, which is an improvement over the previously most recent version i suffered… but the interface is bad. The map is finally usable but i’m not sure why i would need that. If there’s a list of venues, i can’t find it.
Just do it right. OG, pre-Swarm Foursquare. Call it whatever dumb thing you want. Just make it responsive, with light text on a dark background. Make it user-friendly, with a list of nearby venues and portraits of each venue’s mayor so i’m not clicking and scrolling for twenty minutes just to see what needs a mayor. Please. My old phone won’t last much longer.
App is good...but...
Best in FS IMHO

Please revert on iOS.
My android app is the way it was before and has social integration and who’s in first place.
