Description
Swarm is the best way to keep track of the places you go. From the new café downtown to that killer ramen spot in Tokyo, you’ll never ask “what was the name of that place?” again. Whether you love to be a local, or are trying to travel the globe, check in so you can remember everywhere with Swarm.
• This is lifelogging made easy. Each time you check in we’ll add a pin your personal map so you can look back on the places you visit. Help out your future self by adding a photo or a note to your check-ins to make the memories all the better.
• Indian Restaurant? Check. Karaoke bar? Check. Haven’t been to an Art Museum yet? Now’s your chance to go somewhere new! Explore more and collect different types of places. You’ll earn fun Stickers along the way.
• Whether it’s your 10th week in a row at the gym, first time to Canada, or the 25th time you’ve gotten ice cream with your BFF, the more you check in, the more helpful insights you’ll get about your habits and explorations.
*A note on battery. We’ve spent *years* developing the location technology that powers Foursquare Swarm, making it extremely power efficient. But, as with all apps of this type, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Editors’ Notes
"What was the name of that coffee shop?" Foursquare's Swarm helps you remember where you've been — from your local favorites to your world travels — with a simple check-in. See where you and your friends have checked in and view tips from others who have visited before.
Updates you should make
Everything is great. But I have updates you can make that can make this app even better, and all my friends and I can agree on that. We want an option to hide or not show our friends that are with us in the same location we checked in at. As of now, my friends automatically show up to everyone and sometimes I don’t want that to happen or unfriended that friend and not want it in my history. Please make this option available so we can all be fully pleased with this app. Thank you.
A Disastrous Experience with Missing Direct Messages
My experience with the Swarm application was a disaster due to the disappearance of direct messages during chat conversations with friends. Communication is crucial, and it's frustrating when messages vanish without a trace. This flaw undermines the purpose of messaging, causes confusion, and hampers the overall experience. The lack of a reliable message history also makes it impossible to refer back to conversations or retrieve important information. In addition, the unreliability of direct messages raises concerns about data retention and the protection of personal information. Until these issues are addressed, I recommend seeking alternative platforms.
