With Foursquare City Guide you can:
-Join a community of people just like you who love to explore and seek out hidden gems.
-Read short tips written by real people all over the world. (No negative rants or businesses paying for positive reviews.)
-Make lists for any occasion! Keep a running to-do of neighborhood hot spots, or places you want to try while traveling.
-Add tastes, rate places, and lifelog where you’ve been to get hyper-personalized recommendations.
-Follow friends, brands, and influencers and uncover the best experience possible with millions of tips about off-the-menu items, speakeasy entrances, wifi passwords, and much more.
-Keep a history of the places you’ve been. Never forget a memory, photo, or the name of that incredible pizza place you went to while visiting Rome.
-Find exactly what you’re looking for. Faster.

A note on battery:
We've spent years developing the location technology that powers Foursquare City Guide, 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.

Searching yields lots of results App tries to do too much. There is a lot involved and I got mixed up a few times trying to remember how I arrived at a review. Lots of good content and accurate info, but it might benefit the app to scale back, or change up the appearance maybe

A Very Responsive and Useful Tool! As a software Quality Assurance engineer, I am impressed with this app. Foursquare and Swarm are both very quick and responsive on my phone, which is a very rare find because my phone is bogged down due to being overloaded with many different apps. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the functionality of the two apps are no longer integrated. Dear Foursquare, I'd like to work for you and provide assistance with the QA of this app to continue maintaining and improving its resounding quality!

Improved Food Lifestyle I enjoy reading what others have to say about the places they check-in to. Be it positive or negative, curiosity can sometimes make you want to check out the place anyway! The "taste" feature is useful for more personal recommendations. I started using this app enjoying earning points and monitoring the leaderboard with my friends, but it became more exciting to share tips, help others, and know how much they appreciate the help you give. Adding "tags" made photo uploads slightly more interesting. :)

It got stuck in time I remember when Foursquare was the one and only app that could give us tips. Then it got stuck in time. The navigation is limited and the tips are out of date.

Great idea badly done It's useful but a terrible design, that makes no sense and will frustrate a saint. Trip Advisor is 100x better but doesn't cover the same things

Not very convenient for muslim user Please add option for halal food.. It will help a lot of muslim user.. Believe me it will boost rating for this app too..

Great design, but profile photo won't upload So much better than the cluttered and negative mess that is Yelp. Easy to find stuff, save stuff. But I can't get a profile photo to upload.

Brigite Staykovska December 2, 2016

New app It got worse after swarm was created. Now it gives you just one point if you don't apply stickers. This is a joke!

Rainnie Hu January 5, 2017

Needs an update. Some places should be updated. There are stores around me that closed down years ago . On foursquare it's still there.

A Google User December 31, 2016

Useful but Annoying to have bug when upload photos. Always error "network unavailable"

A Google User January 2, 2017

Need Ability to sort lists I have many lists and would love the ability to sort them either by dragging them around or predefined sorts such as alphabetical

Rajiv Metkar December 18, 2016

It's best app for who dnt knw hotel or any kind of eatery at new places & also who is gastronome wants to try delicious food at new eating places for that this is the A1 app.

Ulandt Kim December 27, 2016

Spam emails about Dr Oz show? I'm not a fan of either. No thanks

Richard Clarke December 2, 2016

I only wish it were more responsive when you try to edit locations, especially if you're trying to update then.

lolot boyot December 5, 2016

Not enough equipment for members The CSC's volume has increased dramatically. There are not enough weight machines to accommodate members. Conflicts arise due to the shortage of weight equipment.

Ivan Kožul December 20, 2016

I used it back in days i had iphone like 4 years ago it really improved by now 5/5

Rob Nicholson December 17, 2016

I cannot seem to upload photos anymore. Any photos I upload stay gray regardless of whether I refresh later. Happens on mobile data and Wi-Fi

Syamsi Oktaviana Arifin November 30, 2016

Useful app Everything is good BUT please add a note that the place is halal or not based on visitor.

Dhruva Krishnamurthy November 29, 2016

Simply the best Without a doubt, Foursquare is the smartest service for discovering, searching, and learning about your city.

App not displaying Sometimes the app doesn't show any response when used which is frustrating

Smit T'S Barbershop Exclusive with a warm atmosphere.

Alex Dimkin December 11, 2016

WTF???? No offline option C'mon. Where is the option to work offline? Even Google maps supports offline mode. Fix it and I'll give five stars!

Ahmad Soleja December 5, 2016
