Foursquare Client "4th & Mayor" For WP7

Posted by Brad Wasson in "Windows Phone Talk" @ 09:00 AM

http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/03/26/w...quare-checkins/

"In the case of 4th & Mayor, an app that ties into location service Foursquare, there is already a native app, but that hasn't stopped Jeff Wilcox from trying to improve upon it. A year after its release, 4th & Mayor is sitting at version 3.3, and the app has been run over eight million times in that period. There have been over 7.5 million Foursquare checkins using the app, too. Wilcox says that the app is by over 60,000 people every day, with 35k enabling push notifications on their Windows Phones."

If you are a fan of the Foursquare service, which helps you find new ways to explore your city by checking in to places that you enjoy, you will want to "check out" this client app for WP7. Developer Jeff Wilcox is also intending to develop this app for Windows 8 tablets down the road.

Are Location Check Ins Coming in the Mango Update?

"One thing we tried to push at MIX11, despite all the awesome news, was all that info was for developers, not consumers (though we tried to show why it mattered). The point being that Microsoft still has tricks up their sleeves for Mango/7.5 that we have yet to see and we're sure there will be plenty."

The tweet above suggests that @KADacey was testing a feature similar to Foursquare's check-ins. If you're unfamiliar with check-ins, it is basically a way for users to communicate their location to their friends in real time by checking in to specific places.

Don't bother going to Twitter to look for this tweet though. It's apparently been deleted. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this feature was probably not something that Microsoft wanted the public knowing about yet.

While we do know a few things that will be coming in the Mango update, the things we learned at MIX11 were aimed at the developer community. Perhaps this is just one tidbit of what we can expect when Microsoft announces Mango features targeted at consumers.

MySquare: New FourSquare Client For Windows Mobile

Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "Windows Phone Software" @ 07:00 PM

"Despite that this is just the public beta release of mySquare I'm really pleased with what I see in terms of performance, stability, user interface and richness of features. The application-navigation is simple, and first run mini-tutorial makes it easy to use for almost everyone."

There's only one other Windows Mobile client for the foursquare social media network currently available (Touchality WinMoSquare), and competition is good right? MobilityMinded has a review of the MySquare beta, and the reviewer likes it quite a bit. If you're a foursquare user, check out the review.

Windows Phone 7 Series Foursquare Client Shown

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Windows Phone Software" @ 08:30 AM

"There's no denying that Windows Phone 7 (or Windows Phone 7 Series, or whatever awful branding was chosen) looks to be a huge improvement from the previous iterations of Windows Mobile. And there's even some talk that it may be able to compete with the current golden boy of the smartphone industry, Apple's iPhone. If an early look at the new Foursquare app for Windows Phone 7 is any indication, it just may."

Habitual Foursquare'ers (Which Jason believes I am, despite the fact that I keep it to my self since my check-ins aren't exactly all that interesting) will like the new Windows Phone 7 foursquare app, which is a nice improvement over the 6.5 version now. Another reason to be psyched about WP7S!
