It prevented me (and coincidentally my bff) from checking in our usual places of home/work when we were outside in clear view of the sky (using Storm2 9550)... We weren't happy.

I realize the service is still in BETA, so there will be some issues. In the meantime, I'll still be using it.

I also always close the program once I check in to deter battery drain...

I have this program and i still don't see the point. Maybe its because i have no friends on this app. haha.

I love using foursquare and my fiance and I love to compete on getting mayorships at places. My problem though is that it picks me up at places across town and such and its a pain. I wish we would get a heads up on when this would get a new update and get out of beta.

It told me that my phone did not agree with where I was checking in and I would be awarded no points. I was in right outside of the BLDG. I think the software has a few bugs when talking to the GPS module in the phones.

I am at the detroit airport right now and foursquare will find every gate but not the airport itself. By allowing everyone to add whatever they want it has duplicates of duplicates. Can't find the legitimate locations anymore. Also depends on where physically the person was who entered the location as to how accurately it will listed

and I could only check in because it said where I was and the location of the Rita's was 6,000 meters away.
It's been happening for about 10 days now with this issue. I am at the location even though foursquare says I am not.

Maybe weak GPS should be added to list of BB shortcomings?

foursquare did this to themselves. At first glance I though FS was great in that you could let your friends know where you are and thus meet up or know where everyone else is.

Most don't use it that way. They use it to get more more more silly badges thus it's not that useful to me.

I've not been able to check in since the past few days even if I'm standing put at the location itself. Foursquare is totally screwed if they continue doing it without doing any homework.
God know how they determine your exact location other than using phone signals or GPS. But what about devices without GPS? Do they even use GPS at all? Can't say they use Google Maps, as I've check that Google Maps give kinda accurate readings on my current location but not Foursquare.
If this continues, I don't think I'll waste my time any further. And I guess many out there agrees with me.

I bet ur consider a cheater if u check in at top shop oxford circus then went to selfridges oxford street and u dun get any points cos the gps is not that accurate unless u go to bayswater then only u could check in again and earn some points. Do u have to key in the address which is currently optional? What about the postcode and city? This is only in London how about you travel to Windsor I bet after u leave for the shopping mall you can't check in to Windsor Castle cos ur still considered at the same location based on the gps accuracy.. Hmmm just when users are happy and when they get millions worldwide there is sumthing or sum1 with a great idea and bring the whole foursquare down again into the abyss

I think it is æ better approach to thƺ cheating thing. Yƺá ú® gps is gonna be off sometimes but hey they're getting their. I don't get annoyed as easy so thƺ whole thing doesn't ®ƺ@llý bother mƺ. I used it properly be4 this, and I don't have æ problem wit fixing cheaters

...that people will cheat at ANYTHING! Good grief. One more reason for me not to bother with something like this.

Cheaters never prosper...leave the app alone. I would hate to try and check in and they say I'm not going to be awarded any points

it said i was in new york, when in fact, i'm in western pa. that was bogus. i'm half tempted to stop using it anyways. i forget to "check-in" everytime i go somewhere anyways.

Guess ur ok on verizon 8330 then if it uses gps;)

I can no longer check in at my own house. I was in front of a starbucks yesterday and 4sq told me I was too far away to get points. I understand why they wanted to do this, but as of right now, it stinks

Can someone explain this in Fisher Price terms to me what the hell Foursquare is? I'm not being cocky, I really don't understand the purpose.

is this a game i have never heard of this im in the dark.

Its another type of social app more like twitter except u earn badges and check in at locations in ur town

This explains why its been bugging lately.

Way too frustrated over the past couple of days. Uninstalling after posting this comment.

This is not really a problem on its own since it's no how the system's supposed to work anyway. However, Foursquare really needs to work on fixing the app on the BlackBerry. Their app has serious issues fixing the location and even if it does find you, the listing of places fails to include places that are actually near you. Also, it takes a long time. I find myself having to search for almost every place I'm checking into to, which you're only allowed to do after the places "finding" is "complete." The iPhone app seems to handle the places/location thing much better. Since checking into places is core functionality for Foursquare, this makes the user experience frustrating and not giving you checkins because you're not "there" will further hurt the experience.

I havent been able to get points or mayorships all week. Im standing inside the venues. I even took pics to show that im there and no points & no mayorships. Freaken aye.

The site is down saying looks like there is problems on our end.

If you care enough about Foursquare that this upsets you, you really need to reexamine your life priorities.

All these negative comments makes me want to hold off a bit longer before installing the Foursquare app.

Badges? Points? Everyone could just get a life...

It happened to me, too. I was at the bar, it was legitimate but still I didn't get any badge. I can understand GPS is not working inside the buildings and that sometimes the A-GPS ( tower) triangulation is a 5 mile radius but it's FS' job to try and find a way to tell if a client is at the location or not. I can't find any perfect way to do it, like everything around us.

Whatever they did to the system has me stuck in a particular area now and I use the Motorola Devour (former BB Curve owner). Like...I was 25 minutes away and it still had me in the vicinity of the movie theater I went to on Friday.

I. Don't. Like.
