“The new Foursquare, like Netflix, takes a lot of the work out of finding the right thing for the right moment.” — The Verge
How It Works:
Tell Foursquare what you like — be specific, like “craft beer” or “fried chicken,” or more general, like “outdoor seating” or “romantic places.” Every search is tailored to your tastes, your past ratings, and picks from friends and experts you trust.

A note on battery –
We've spent years developing the location technology that powers Foursquare, making it extremely power efficient. But, as with all apps of this type, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Reviews
Terrible customer service
Rick Kirk
This company has the very worst customer service of any modern day app. You can’t call so you are forced to send emails. It takes days for a response and when they finally do respond it is with a canned, automatic response. Extremely frustrating. Don’t waste your time with these guys. Terrible!
Good food and good times
Jakej975
I travel a lot and frequently like to find the local spots that are good or are less well known. This app is perfect for that. Some of the best food I’ve had and some of the best times I’ve had with family and friends trying new places has been made possible by this app!!
Issues

I have tried many times to edit my business listing to include my website, phone number, hours, and Facebook page, but even though I save my edits they do not appear after saving.
Withholding Ratings & Reviews, WHY?
Glen Giggity Giggity
I loved Urban Spoon and for a long time I have found FourSquare a descent substitute. Lately, FourSquare have decided to only display restaurants of their choosing. I travel four days a week, exclusively by airplane and on foot. When I’m standing in the doorway of a restaurant, I expect its rating to be displayed , especially when I sort by distance. Yet lately, I find even nicely rated restaurants missing unless I enter the name manually. Pay to play required of restaurants? Unacceptable.
YOU STOPPED ME FROM CHECKING IN PLACES
FISHBND65
YOU STOPPED LETTING ME CHECK IN TO PLACES?????? I never get any badges since I 1st started using the app and also how come when I check in every day at the same time I am told that it is my 3rd check in?? YOUR APP, SWARM, IS ALWAYS WRONG ABOUT CHECK-INS, BASICALLY YOUR APP IS USELESS???!!!!??!!!!
Charges to display business
f*ckthisvpn!!!
I created a profile for my business and it does not show up in any search unless you search by the exact name. I wanted to claim it as my business and Foursquare wanted to charge me $20. What a crappy site. I guess I don’t care to have my business listed here if I have to pay for it.
Fails to recognise our business
OPC Reno
We have been in contact with Foursquare and posting for 4 years and they fail to recognise us—we feel it’s discrimination.

I’ve used Foursquare to find awesome places! Why waste time and money with hit or miss when you can get a recommendation from people who have actually frequented a place?
