Had to reinstall because of the 5.1 update and now can't log in at all, even with the official Swarm app installed. Need to fix the OAuth link or else people will never be able to install this as a new app.
This app is everything I was looking for when using my Moto360. This makes checking in less of a task now and makes me want to use my foursquare account a lot more! I really recommend getting this app if you have a android wear device and use swarm.
Working great, but lacks option to check in somebody besides you.
No longer functions on LGWR since update.
Moto 360 issue fixed!
Great app but it needs the option to post to twitter as well when you check in.
This app used to work great but now all I get is check in failed using a moto X 2014 paired with a g watch. Please fix for higher rating.
Thank you for adding the social medial to this sweet app , but can we have the option to turn off social media while checking in. Sometimes I want to post FB and Twitter sometimes I don't.
Followed instructions and continues to fail
Checks in fine, but needs options to leave comments on checkins as well as tagging friends and adding stickers.
I suggested a feature to the developer, and they added it in a few days
I really like having this app, because I was getting used to being able to check in on Foursquare via my Pebble, so this lets me keep rolling with that. The developer has been responsive, and improving when the app posts new cards to the notification stack so it is not as intrusive as it was at first.
App works as described. The settings for only notifying if you've moved a certain distance are a nice fix from the previous version. Next up, auto share checking to Facebook and It will be exactly what I'm looking for!
If I could change one thing it would be the frequency the card appears on my watch. Ideally, it'd only show up after I've been moving/driving and reach my destination and/or every 4-6 hours. Edit: Read your response. Might I suggest as a work-around... after the user checks in somewhere, mute notifications sent to the watch for at least an hour. I rarely find I check into multiple places in that timeframe. Or perhaps add it as a user defined option... "Mute notifications for X hours after most recent check-in."
I hope that in the future you can choose that it will also post it directly to Twitter or Facebook if you would check in.
Not really sure the point in this I seem to have to open the app on my phone in order to check in. Doesn't have a check in option on the watch
Need ability to search for places directly from the watch then check in. At this point, have to launch the app then it'll show places on watch.
Annoying alerts are always popping up on the phone even when you tick the box to have them on the watch too. Strangely nothing ever pops up on the watch and you have to manually launch app
I think this app is a great start. However, BeeWear app is by far a much better app with a significant amount of control on sensitivity, proximity and more controlled card notifications.
Seems to constantly want to check in when it is least convenient
Worked literally once.
Really good app for swarm users like me, but it could be improved: when we are in a place with a high density of places, downtown for instance, it is rare I find the place I actually am. So I have to check-in from my phone and I loose the interest of the app. So two ways of improving it: maybe configure from the phone the number of places we want to see., And even more powerful: add vocal search in the watch app :) Good job anyway, I use it every day !
