Foursquare app for Nokia was announced during the Nokia World this year and guess what its already at the Ovi Store waiting to get you into places with all the mayorships you can get. If you are now to Foursquare, here’s a head start. Foursquare helps you find new ways to explore the world around you. You check in at the places you go, your friends see where you are, you collect badges along the way and if you check in somewhere more than anyone else you become its Mayor. You can leave tips about a place for others to read too.
Till now Symbian users had to make do with third party clients, but this one is the official app, done together with Nokia. Its listed for S60 5th edition and the Symbian^3 phones that are yet to come. You get a Nearby list to find places around you using GPS, a friends list with their check ins and a homescreen widget that shows your friends latest check ins. Its a Web Runtime app if you were wondering, and its free as well.
The folks at All About Symbian have already reviewed it and found it “just… too… darn… slow…”, so much that they suggest using the mobile site instead. We are yet to try it ourselves, so stay tuned.
