Swarm 5.0 - Remember everywhere.

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.

5+ years ago I sat down with Dennis at a bar watching a Cuse game and told him this is why I use Foursquare, reviews and life logging. Can you focus more on life logging. Happy it's now arrived!

Love it! This is what I have been using Swarm for :) Whenever someone says they are going to Italy I open Swarm and look at my history to remember the places I went so I can make recommendations - then I start planning for the next trip of course!!

Isn't Google Maps Timeline already doing this with photo embellishments from Google Photos? (on iOS, Android and Desktop)

@chuckkahn At first, I didn’t get what was the point of 4sq/Swarm, it didn’t use any kind of basic AI or automation, so the user had/has to do most of the work. After a while I got the point with Google it’s very difficult to brag about where you had been, your timeline is “private” information, kind of for your eyes only. On the other hand 4sq/Swarm had been designed from the ground to up to lure braggers. But I have been lucky enough to have a wise man ask me to tell him about what I was bragging that he in return would let me know what I didn’t have. No, I don’t use Swarm.

Huge improvement to the UX - love the simple toggle between personal and social timelines and additional maps.

I use Google Maps timeline for this exact purpose

Cool... I honestly do like Swarm, and use it occasionally -- but I always forget about checking in because there is really no real time value to be had. I still use it with the "hope that the data might be useful to me at some point in the future". That's something entrepreneurs like me may put up with, but the average consumer is not likely to stick with it very long.

Pros:

They listened to their customers and took today's use of Swarm and made it better looking and easier to use

Cons:

Still dont love the disconnect from 4sq, but I've learned to deal :)

Pros:

Beautiful design, cool new map checkin history, and ramped up display of collected category stickers. Really beautiful update!

Cons:

I still wish the actual checkin button was larger. It's pretty small and not the easiest thing to hit with your thumb.

You've always supported Windows Mobile. Any chance of UWP?
