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.

"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.
Diary or Journal; nothing more.
I’ve had Swarm since it was just Foursquare. Swarm is actually useless these days for anything other than logging where you’ve been. That’s really the only reason I still use it. I like to see where I’ve been and when it was. That’s come in handy when traveling because sometimes on vacation I can’t remember “that little shop” or restaurant.
The coins mean nothing and can’t be used for anything...not even a free drink or discount at a bar or cafe. I have about 43K coins and have no idea what they’re for or how to use them.
It’s basically a check-in app I use with only a single travel buddy so we know where we’ve been during our travels. I’ll use it as long as it’s available on my phone.
I Heart Swarm
I’ve had Swarm since the 4th quarter of 2012. They say it’s a niche hobby when you google it. I can agree. I wish I had started off with Foursquare/Swarm. I came over from Loopt after that went down. I wish I could’ve combined my history for all the time I put into Loopt back in the day, but I still use Swarm faithfully. It’s the last app that’s from the era of the iPhone 4 and when Path was a dominate app before its untimely demise and we are left with just Facebook. Swarm I started using because I quote unquote fit the description of someone who was at the scene of a crime. But thanks to Geotagging in Apple photos and me using Swarm besides just loving to use it and connect with a small group of friends I trust in an era where rappers share their location & something bad happens. I can feel safe only sharing my location with those I trust. Showing pictures. And logging my life. Looking back each month and each year. I wish there was an iPad app sometimes, but you can download the iPhone version onto your iPad. They took away the ability to type a message with checking in via your Apple Watch or even adding a sticker. But it’s good to have when your phone dies. I’m not going to stop using swarm unless it’s no more. And I hope it’s not. And if it ever is. I hope I can download my entire history in an archive of this app to always review.
