Comments on Swarm: Check In, Explore, Map for Android
★★★★☆Dan· Jul 13, 2025
I enjoy this app. I've used it for a LONG time now. It's nice to check into places, so I can look at them and find again if I want to go back. I wish it had more reach. Back in the day lots of people I knew used it, but not so much anymore. Overall it's a good app, nice features, and I haven't really had much trouble with it in all my years of using it.

I just want to say thank you to the team that is still maintaining this. I used to use it to log the adventures I went on solo but now that I have a family it's become my tracker for all the places we explore. Please keep this going. It's so simple but serves a bigger purpose. 🙏🏼

I love this app. When I see all my check-ins around the world for more than 10 years I feel my life better. And I wish Swarm got more focus, after Foursquare shutdown.
★☆☆☆☆Sergii· Jun 4, 2026
User since 2012 with 10k check-ins and SU2 status. It is highly disappointing that after killing City Guide with promises that discovery was moving to Swarm, Android is completely left out. Your website actively markets a new layout with an "Explore" tab, but the Android app is stuck on a legacy UI with zero local discovery. iOS has had these features for months, while loyal users on Android are an afterthought. Please fix the parity.

With Foursquare, I could see places that I've been. All my places outside the US are unavailable. Not sure why I still bother

Full of useless, outdated suggestions or tips with no easy way found to update or delete. What good are suggestions that are for out of business businesses, businesses who've made changes or tips more than 10 years old. Foursquare let you update, delete and make change suggestions in Tips.
