Is there a Symbian app coming up?

I totally agree that a native app for my Nokia E71 would be great.

Waiting for this. While mobile web is ok, it's a pain to type where you are...location aware native app please!!!

I'd also like an N97 app. Using the mobile web page is ok, but nowhere near as snazzy as a native app would be!

@eartle (on Twitter) author of the Mobbler application (http://blog.symbian.org/2010/01/18/mo...) says he is working on a Foursquare native app for Symbian. Here's hoping we can get something soon...

Hope @eartle is making progress. Can't wait. Don't make me buy an iTouch or iPad!

The project is hosted on Google Code here: http://code.google.com/p/foursquares/...

There was steady progress through to mid-December. Hopefully something will come out soon.

I'm just glad he's working on it because it seems no one else is.

I have a Nokia E71 and N97 (and an N900). I want Foursquare on these devices like a fat man craves candy.

I can help test such an app too....a Widget for N97 might be a good solution as well.

I'd love an app. for my Nokia N95. Would complete the Foursquare experience *looking jealously at his colleage with iPhone*

I'd Love an App for my Nokia N97. Girl friend flicked my BB Storm and I hate being on the Mobile Website.

Another person here who would like to test foursquare

You can use Waze to check in with foursquare. m.waze.com

Its not an elegant or easy to use solution, but it works.

I would love to see FourSquare integration in Ovi Maps!

How long are you going to ignore millions of users of Symbian S60? foursquare fail

Would love to have this app on my 5800 also!

Not much progress on the Symbian client by the looks of things.

Last revision was December 14: http://code.google.com/p/foursquares/...

I actually asked @eartle about it on Twitter. This is his response. Looks like we gotta wait longer for it =(

The reason 4sq has left Symbian out is because they're US centric where iPhone, BB and Palm rule! I'd suggest Nokia buy 4sq and intergrate it into Ovi. Would be a great buy!

@janole has started adding support to his great app Gravity. It's not free but well worth the money.

I hope we will have application for Nokia E72

I need this for my N97!!!!! I can't live with the /mobile Version anymore... *sigh*

James, this is really exciting! I have Gravity, which is one of the best apps I've purchased for my N97. A very easy to use and beautiful-looking interface.

I have downloaded v1.30 (6325) but can't find foursquare anywhere.

Can you tell us how we find it (and google reader?)?

Thanks.

Ken

Great, thanks guys for the quick response.

I also want and app for my E71, at least a java version I don't need a native app

I would really like foursquare for my E71, be it java or native (prefer native). Can I (or should i say we) sign up someplace as BETA testers? I'd be happy to test.

I want it for my Nokia N78!

With all respect, I don't plan to pay for a third party application like gravity if foursquare is able to support all other mobile OS with an app.

Well, There is 4SQ available in the new Alpha release but it's kinda bug riddled.
I installed it yesterday on my N97 and found it very unusable. Will have to wait for them to come up with a stable release.
Currently using Gravity 1.3 (6300) which is pretty cool but no 4sq. 1.3(6325) has 4SQ.

you should add symbian native application for 4square ASAP. Here in Asia we tend to use symbian phone rather than iphone, android or BB, We will never have courage to buy those phone. Too damn expensive. Think of large 4square user base in Asia. Think of millions of venue will created everyday. It will be a huge advantages for 4square and it will be millions of symbian phone users added. Dont left us behind :(

For all Nokia users! - installation links below!

Gravity for Symbian phones like the E71, E72, N97, 5800, N95, etc. is THE BEST application on Nokia for:
- Twitter (incl geo-tagged tweets)
- Google Reader
- Foursquare

And is an interesting contestant in becoming the best app for Facebook.

Now, you may have a principle of not paying for apps that are free on other platforms, but the value that you'd get from Gravity far exceeds the price you pay. In addition, Foursquare so US-centric where Nokia is not a major platform. It's a shame for the makers of Foursquare, but in the mean time you have the opportunity of checking out Gravity, which is almost guaranteed to improve your entire social network experience on your Nokia phones!

You can follow me on twitter on @thusgaard for regular updates on recent versions of Gravity (although I'm not an employee of or affiliated with Mobileways.de), and you can make use of the two links below for the currently most recent versions of Gravity for your test:
New versions of Gravity for S60 are out.

All except v3FP2: http://bit.ly/6350ALL
v3FP2: http://bit.ly/6350FP2

Maybe the guys at Foursquare could check out Buddycloud for some inspiration... http://buddycloud.com

It's native Symbian and supports geolocation without GPS using cell towers. I'm not a programmer, but the APIs for both apps are fairly similar. Foursquare support in Buddycloud would be awesome...

I am hoping an s60 version is released sooner rather than later...on my 5800, the mobile site has a problem where it shuts down internet after pressing check-in past the shoutout bit, which is a tad frustrating to say the least.

I am frusttratyed with so many pieces of software not getting an s60 release when the sets it powers are still quite popular...aren't they?

seriously...wtf, haven't you read any of the Gravity related posts? Gravity is an app you have to pay for! Serioulsy FourSquare could you stop trying to hide behind the lame excuse that is Gravity the holy grale so you don't have to develop a native FREE app like for the other platforms! that is just insane, and I've had it, F you and your "service" ... never-the-F mind this geo-tagging sh*t ... ow and don't bother replying with "but you can always use the web version" F that too, the on-line version is like trying to take a 10Mpixel photograph with a stone tablet... FOURSQUARE, YOU FAIL!

Ow and Al, remember to click just once on a "post reply" button... it's not a windows icon you have to double click.. now that we're heading down the "cheap shots" lane.

It's not that gravity costs $10, Gravity is a great app... that fact that FourSquare hides behind it's existence, using as an excuse not to have to develop their own app is lame, what justifies making free apps for the other platforms and not Symbian, that altough not having a large footprint in the US, there are other continents outside the US like Europe en Asia were Symbian DOES. And also hiding behind the claim "we don't have the resources" ..right... since the other apps are finished, redirect those resources on a Symbian app. development.

And Brightkite, what? are you even serious? what would I want with BrightKite, if I want to use a service like FourSquare... the whole points system and badges is for a large part the point of using FourSquare...

Yeah, a Symbian app would be cool, but they're a small-ish concern based in the U.S., with a U.S.-centric business model. It's completely their choice for what platform to develop for.

I don't get all the outrage. It's not like Four Square is a public utility paid for by your tax money and they're somehow obligated to develop an app for Symbian users. Learn to live without it, use it via Gravity or buy an iPhone/Blackberry/iPod Touch or Android phone.

I'm rocking a Nokia E71, and can't use Gravity, but I can use Four Square via Joikuspot and an iPod Touch (and soon, my on-order iPad).

Simple - for the Nokia use gravity http://L0N.eu/getgravity - uses the foursquare API and also allows you to use twitter and facebook from the same app. It makes things really easy to use Foursquare

Admittedly, Gravity does do the job and in my opinion is well worth the £6 I paid for the full version.... HOWEVER!!

I have seen the iPhone version and the functionality that it comes with, for example seeing all the badges that you've accrued.... There's just soooo much more to the application than Gravity allows.... So whilst Gravity is a suitable alternative.... I would like to think that sometime in the near future 4SQ will actually develop an application for Symbian phone users.... Maybe a member of staff could confirm whether this is going to happen or not,

Kind Regards,

Rick0684 - A Happy Gravity User!!

The latet version of Gravityshows badges as well - Jan Ole updates the app woth feedback like this nearly every week.

Symbian apps are not simple to develop so I doubt Foursquare themselves will develop a Symbian app.

Go happy - get gravity!

Oooo, I wonder if you clarify the version, im using it on my Sony Ericsson Satio, and if it is available on this version where would I find it?? Thanks again,

Regards,

Ricky

A couple of days ago something changed and I can no longer check in using the browser on my Nokia N97. It looks like it's the end of the line. I'll need kick the foursquare habit cold turkey.
