If you are a travel freak
and if you enjoy check-in places that you visit through social media sites,
then Foursquare Swarm is the right mobile app for you. Foursquare Swarm is the
successive mobile app of Foursquare City Guide and Swarm is said to be its
extension.
Foursquare Swarm mobile app
has been designed genius to let you check-in places wherever you go so that
your friends will get to know about your whereabouts. While Foursquare City
Guide mobile app functions as an location-discovery tool, Swarm app which has been redesigned extends to be a
social networking mobile app that connects the users to friends and family when they travel and visit different places
no matter it is near or far.
Exploring the mobile app is
quite simpler as you will see self explanatory tabs with which you can use the
app to its fullest. Once you sign up with Swarm, you need to add friends of
yours through the "find a friend" search bar. If not, you can look
for contacts or Facebook friends to know who already existing users of the app
are. In your user profile tab, you will find a plus sign. To add friend or
accept friend, you need to click the plus sign. You can also customize your
privacy settings as per your convenience by checking or unchecking options that
are given.
Having been connected to friends
on Swarm, you can start checking-in to locations you visit. Along with the
check-in feature, you can also see icons that will help you express how you
feel and also could attach photos you click being in that location right away.
With the pre-defined goal of
rendering you a great look -back of all the places you have visited, Swarm
brings you the most beautiful memories of your earlier visits by the record of
your check-ins so far and that's called the Life-log feature. So at any time
you and your friends can scroll through your Lifelog and check where and all
you had been. You can also check your friends' recent check-ins to the oldest
one in their profile.
The List tab will enable you
to see if any of your friends are nearby your location. Not only you can know
about your friends' location, but also can plan a meet up with the nearby
friends by writing your plan shortly in your swarm profile which can be viewed
by your friends. If they are willing to join you for the meet-up, they can let
you know through comments posted below your plan posted.
As like Facebook, Foursquare
Swarm mobile app also does have the feature of Activity tab which will show you
whatever you have done including your interactions such as likes and comments
you received and gave and friend requests if any.
Ultimately Swarm, the sibling of Foursquare City Guide mobile
app is just an ideal choice for people who hang out a lot and highly eager to
let know people what kind of travel freak they are.
