As you may know, Foursquare is quite a new social networking site – it is pretty unique because it combines the usual social networking idea with the GPS on your phone, and adds a game element. You can get started with Foursquare on your iPhone quickly and easily – read on to find out more about the Foursquare iPhone app and how to set it up on your iPhone.
What is Foursquare?
Foursquare is a social networking tool that is used primarily on mobile phones. When you are out-and-about you can use your phone’s GPS to identify where you are. On Foursquare, a list of venues in your vicinity will appear – you can then ‘check in’ wherever you are.
What makes this tool so fun and addictive is that the more you ‘check in’ to different venues, the more ‘badges’ you can earn on Foursquare. If you check in to a venue more than anyone else on Foursquare, then you will be given the title of Foursquare ‘mayor’ of that venue. This could mean that if you are a coffee addict for example, you could end up as the Foursquare mayor of your local Starbucks!
How do I use Foursquare?
Foursquare is available as a website, a mobile website and an iPhone app. Out of these options, it is certainly best to use the iPhone app as it is simple and easy to use. It is also very easy to set up the Foursquare app on your iPhone. To do this, simply go to the App Store on your iPhone, and download the Foursquare app, which is free to use and install.
Before you can begin, you need to set up an account on Foursquare – just fill in your details when instructed. You can then go to ‘Places’ on the app, which will then utilise your iPhone’s GPS to locate you.
You may find that the app says ‘Locating’ and cannot find you – if this is the case, then you may need to adjust the GPS settings on your iPhone.
You should then be able to use the Foursquare iPhone app with ease – enjoy!
