What are users saying about Wear for Swarm

I70%

The app should sort the venues list on the watch by the amounts of own check ins in the past. By that, once could easily access regular venues.

C70%
by C####:

Working great, but lacks option to check in somebody besides you.

U70%
by U####:

If I could change one thing it would be the frequency the card appears on my watch. Ideally, it'd only show up after I've been moving/driving and reach my destination and/or every 4-6 hours. Edit: Read your response. Might I suggest as a work-around... after the user checks in somewhere, mute notifications sent to the watch for at least an hour. I rarely find I check into multiple places in that timeframe. Or perhaps add it as a user defined option... "Mute notifications for X hours after most recent check-in."

Great app but it needs the option to post to twitter as well when you check in.

Had to reinstall because of the 5.1 update and now can't log in at all, even with the official Swarm app installed. Need to fix the OAuth link or else people will never be able to install this as a new app.

This app is everything I was looking for when using my Moto360. This makes checking in less of a task now and makes me want to use my foursquare account a lot more! I really recommend getting this app if you have a android wear device and use swarm.

Really good app for swarm users like me, but it could be improved: when we are in a place with a high density of places, downtown for instance, it is rare I find the place I actually am. So I have to check-in from my phone and I loose the interest of the app. So two ways of improving it: maybe configure from the phone the number of places we want to see., And even more powerful: add vocal search in the watch app :) Good job anyway, I use it every day !

This app used to work great but now all I get is check in failed using a moto X 2014 paired with a g watch. Please fix for higher rating.

After UI change for 360, it seems square watch users got thrown under the bus. I still can't check into "private" venues (like homes). It would also be nice if the location icons were cached, as it seems they are loaded every time I see a specific place type. Fix it please.

Checks in fine, but needs options to leave comments on checkins as well as tagging friends and adding stickers.

I've downloaded the app, and at first it worked fine, I could check into a location via the app. then I went to a different location, and wanted to check in, but the location list would not update, no matter what I'm doing

Thank you for adding the social medial to this sweet app , but can we have the option to turn off social media while checking in. Sometimes I want to post FB and Twitter sometimes I don't.

Y70%
by Y####:

I suggested a feature to the developer, and they added it in a few days

V70%
by V####:

I really like having this app, because I was getting used to being able to check in on Foursquare via my Pebble, so this lets me keep rolling with that. The developer has been responsive, and improving when the app posts new cards to the notification stack so it is not as intrusive as it was at first.

T70%
by T####:

would be much better if it wouldn't be so talkative. I really don't need to know what's going around me every 15 minutes when I'm sitting in my office.... Location change awareness would be nice. And it would be nice to see places I have checked in previously at the top if the list... Including privat places (like for me my home.... So I can check in and my flatmates know I am home... I still need to do that with my phone...)

N70%
by N####:

App works as described. The settings for only notifying if you've moved a certain distance are a nice fix from the previous version. Next up, auto share checking to Facebook and It will be exactly what I'm looking for!

X70%
by X####:

I hope that in the future you can choose that it will also post it directly to Twitter or Facebook if you would check in.

I think this app is a great start. However, BeeWear app is by far a much better app with a significant amount of control on sensitivity, proximity and more controlled card notifications.

I really like having this app, because I was getting used to being able to check in on Foursquare via my Pebble, so this lets me keep rolling with that. However, it needs to be smarter about when it offers the check in card. Suggestion: if the user dismisses the card, don't show it again until the user has moved a significant distance away from where they dismissed the card (at least a couple hundred feet).

This is a good start but , still a bit too aggressive on the cards. I look forward to a future update that is less aggressive. I'm excited about this app and with some tweaks, I think it would be one of my most heavily used AndroidWear apps. Some feedback: - If I dismiss the notifications from the watch or phone, I don't want to see it again in that location. - I don't want to see them while I'm walking (which is happening frequently during my 20-30 min walks in NYC) - If I've checked in, using this app or the official SWARM app, I don't want to see cards while I'm at that location. - I mostly want to see it when I have arrived at a new place.

Not really sure the point in this I seem to have to open the app on my phone in order to check in. Doesn't have a check in option on the watch
