So excited
To see that this part of four square is still alive and kicking! Would love if more people would use this again like we did back in the 2010s!
Great explore map
Helps keep track of places you’ve visited
Great App
Really useful to track where you have been and allows you to remember your favorite places .
Accuracy
Would be nice if the corrections were done. I’ve been going to a location for years that changed owners and name but the information is never updated.
Clean
Perfect for a good sleep nothing fancy
Nice update, bugs fixed pretty quickly
Loving the new update so far! A few additions that would be nice would be some improvement with the Apple Watch app, like the ability to add stickers to check-ins! And also better background uploads for photos, as photo upload quickly times out if I leave the app.
Mayorships not as fun
Please return the mayorship upset witty remarks. And make the picture big again. It used to be bigger when you stole the mayorship.
One of my biggest ongoing frustrations is that it’s really hard to check in single-handedly without dropping the phone. I called this out during beta, but it went unheeded. The check in button should be in the middle bottom, not the side. Middle bottom makes it ambidextrous and allows anyone to check in with one hand, while leaving the other hand free for all the things we carry in our daily lives. We shouldn’t have to use 2 hands, one to hold the phone, and the other to check in. This app is designed for on the go, but that part of the interface is not.

An excellent app that does what it purports to
I just wish people could update places without joining a discord to make the case that some bot was wrong.
Great app
It keeps track of everywhere I am and have been!!!
09/2026 Update
This most recent update has wrecked my profile. I’ve been on Swarm at least 15 years and this recent update “disabled” my profile. I can still check-in but my name is gone, my profile pic is gone, and I don’t receive coins anymore. When I attempt to change my profile, I get an error message that reads “Profile updates are disabled for this account”? Why!? Please someone help me get my stuff back!

Travel Journal
Swarm is so useful for memory building. Especially if you connect it to Timehop. It’s awesome to relive trips and family memories!
The best app
I love it, I have made check ins since it was foursquare. I love to see where I have been and moments that I have live.
Hey how do you delete a check in?
Before you start thrashing all the old features, can you explain how do you ship a product where you can’t delete a check in? Is AI slop powering your product decisions?
Favorite social media app for keeping track of places I’ve been
I love the map feature where I can see all the places I’ve checked in! Very helpful when I return to certain cities for work each year to find my favorite places to eat and stay. Would love if other people I knew used Swarm because it’s like my own personal little travel blog.
Used to love this app!
After the update, this app became almost unusable. God forbid you want to add a photo in it without the screen being stuck. Used to be a really fun way to keep a travel diary all the places I’ve been just by adding a photo and checking in somewhere. now you can check in. You can’t add a sticker, which is always fun. You can’t earn a sticker… But the number one regret is you cannot add a photo without the screen freezing. Every single time. It’s no fun anymore. The upgrade while aesthetically pleasing for some, it wasn’t worth it for the trade off of making the app unusable.

Menus don't fit phone screen
Several times I've tried to pick from a list of places to check in when the app gets it wrong but I can't pick from the list because it won't scroll. It's cut off at the top and/or bottom. This makes it totally useless. Please get scaling figured out and fix it.
Update: This issue was intermittent. Now it's happening any time I try to adjust or delete a recommit check-in. They still haven't figured out how screen sizes work.

I miss this
Great App that I’ve been using for YEARS. Only thing, I miss the feature where I can still check-in if I forgot. It used to be where we can go to timeline and it’ll list locations that you were but never checked in. Now, there’s only a suggestion when using photos. I don’t snap pics everywhere like gas stations, work, etc.

Coins?
I’ve been collecting these coins for years. What do I do with them?
Good app.
Easy check ins Fun to look at history.
