App from Foursquare no longer focuses on the Chekina, offering users a new concept.
Swarm creators drew attention to the fact that in today's Internet people have become less willing to share with the whole world of information about the places visited. Privacy has come to mean more, so they came up with a new functionality.
Swarm now offers the user to think about his travels and accumulate statistics, not just Chekina. That is Chekina themselves, of course, have not gone away, but their role has changed.
The thing is collecting visited places: added more than 50 new stickers, and visitor statistics and information about the places became more. These innovations are somewhat similar to the App in the Air, but everything is limited to air flights and the Swarm after the update calls rather go out for a walk.
More application allows you to know more about the movements of friends. Even if they do not Chekina, the user receives information on how far away they are (but not the exact coordinates).
On the main screen rendered map of visited places that used to be hidden in a different section. And the idea is that the user to fill out this interesting map new places.
The former function, at which emphasize the Foursquare old, generally preserved. As before, you can earn "merstvo" in various places and get Swarm-coins, which can then be exchanged for bonuses in certain establishments visited.
Swarm Version 5.0 is out now on iOS, but for Android will be in two weeks.
