Foursquare Swarm: Check In 6.10.58

Social media and social networking sites and apps have made us all realize our need to share what is happening in our lives with friends and family. While we all used to catch up with another via letters and phones in earlier times, the social networking and social media sites have ensured that we can update everyone with where we are going, what we are doing and how we are managing with the click of a button. These media sites have led to the check-in culture where you check-in to any place you go in order to inform your friends and family. This is done with the purpose of informing people about what you are up to and to encourage others to try the place too if you feel it is worth sharing. A travel app that focuses entirely on your travels can prove great for users who are continuously on the move and keep going to new places almost every other day. Foursquare Swarm: Check In is a great travel app that allows you to document your travels without cluttering everyone's social media timelines and ensuring that your friends on the app know what you are up to.

The travel app obviously requires your phone location in order to be able to track you better and to ensure that it picks up your check-in location perfectly. The app still struggles even after gaining access and usually provides you check-in options at places far away from your actual location. The app should allow addition of check-ins to new places if it can't find a landmark place directly on the map and this is where the app can definitely improve. However, apart from location access, the app doesn't require any unnecessary app permissions and this shows that the app can be at least trusted with some information.

The travel app essentially works very similar to a social media app and therefore, you should add friends and grow your network in order to see where other people are going and they can see where you are traveling. The app allows for adding contacts from Facebook and your phonebook with the idea that you can add people already on the app and invite the rest as well. Once a friend invite is extended, the individual must accept it for you to see where they are going and what they are up to.

The travel app has a rather simple and easy to understand process when it comes to adding check-ins. All you have to do is to tap on the location button at the bottom center of the screen and you are required to add your check-in. You can pick a specific location from the app's location options that are available close by. You can then define what you are doing with a text status and add pictures as well in order to further give people an idea about how the place look and what you are doing. The app uses the pictures etc. that you post in the catalogue for the place that you check-in so that other people can get an idea about the place. You can also rate the location, write a tip and add info about contact information, website and visiting hours for the place too. The information can help other prospective visitors who want to visit the location.

Features:

• Simple app design with a colorful theme
• Easy to export your friends from your phonebook and Facebook
• Great options to check-in at your favorite places
• Add pictures, reviews and further information about the places where you check-in in order to help other users

Conclusion:

Foursquare Swarm: Check In is a great travel app that helps you document your travels and lets you explore what other people have been doing. With a great catalogue of places that you can also explore on the app, this is a great option for all travel lovers!
