Was a great app but lost out to the competition. RIP Gowalla.

App I would use because of the lovely badges. Not a 5 star rating because of minor location flaws on gps.

I love the UI on this app - plus the ability to keep your photos along with your trip journals, checkins, trips, pins, etc.

its more fun to use than the foursquare android app... fast and neat UI too. U like the option of adding photos to places.

This app is very well designed. I like the fact that you can add pictures to the venues you visit, which is a nice touch. However there doesn't seem to be a way for venues to leverage it as far as I can see today.

There are virtual items that are discovered during check ins, but there isn't a clear purpose as to what to do with these items once collected.

It's cool to know where my friends are and read the notes about the location they are in, I just don't see the real world benefit to venues just yet. It shows lots of promise and user adoption.
