Explore! Deals! Leaderboard! foursquare 3.0 comes to BlackBerry!

Jul 19th

Planet BlackBerry, this is what you’ve been waiting for: foursquare 3.0 is now available! Download it now!

Right away, you’ll notice everything has been improved. The look is cleaner. There are a ton more features. Here’s a quick walkthrough of what you’ll see:

  • An overhauled UI, from the check-in screen down to your friends list.

  • Explore! Get personalized recommendations on places to go, from your past check-ins, your friends’, and the whole foursquare community. Search for what you want (like a lobster roll) or just tap an activity (like ‘drinks’ or ‘food’). And, for those of you who like deals, tap the ‘Specials’ button to find Specials nearby that are perfect for you.

  • Speaking of Specials, this update allows you to grab daily deals around you from our five partners – LivingSocial, Gilt City, BuyWithMe, YP.com, and zozi. Seamless savings without leaving foursquare.
  • The full leaderboard. See how you’re doing compared to your friends.

We’ve been really working to get this out. Download the latest version now. Hope you like it, and have fun exploring!

P.S. There’s one feature that we’re putting the finishing touches on and will have out soon: BBM integration. We just really wanted to get all the rest of this in your hands ASAP. Hope you enjoy it!

    Awesome update team foursquare!!!  Been using for a few days and am blown away!  Favourite update is the Explore feature – using it to explore #KWAwesome!

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    My client build is saying 1.9.97 , is that correct? Its not version 3?

  • Guest

    3.0.0 was always freezing and had the GPS issue on the 9800 but the UI was great.
    Hope 3.0.2 works well, the update is welcome! Thank you!

    Mine says the same thing and now it won’t open, says “Error starting FourSquare: Module ‘Foursquare-18′ not found.

  • Oner

    Error starting FourSquare: Class net.rim.device.api.ui.Scrollview not found!

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    Yep I got that error, I rebooted and foursquare has disappeared

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    I deleted and reinstalled it and it’s working again, but its 1.9.97 and it looks exactly the same, it’s not 3, and that download link goes to 1.9.97 so how exactly can we download 3?

  • Pete Nofelt

    Looking into it!

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    I deleted it and reinstalled and it fixed this error, but it’s 1.9.7 and not 3.0 , where can we get 3 from?

  • Peter

    Having the same problem here! The built-in option to update also doesn’t work. Maybe a direct download link to the .cod file(s)?

  • Jan Fridrich

    907 INVALID, WTF?

  • Moiz

    Why doesn’t have the shout option ?

  • Pete Nofelt

    Click the blackberry hard key button, and select “Refresh”. You should then be able to see the 3.0.2 install.

  • http://twitter.com/franco_0111 Franco Calderón

    I want to download 3.0.2 according to the JAD file available here, and it says file not found. Can’t get it!

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    That worked! Legend thanks so much.. I’ll try downloading now.. I might uninstall old one first as it gave me warnings about replacing modules

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, LiveCent.com

    I’m in! Thanks so much for your help. To avoid troubles everyone else make sure you delete the old version before you install, replacing it seems to cause those module errors.

  • Peter

    and it worked! Thanks!

  • Sucks4sq

    Why my download version is 1.9.97?

    After install, I even can not find the app’s icon in my BB….

    Wtf….

  • http://www.facebook.com/hamza.macgregor Hamza Macgregor

    Read the comments below, the answer is there.

    You should uninstall before installing the new version to avoid any errors

    Having issues, please advise. I’m getting an error:

    Error starting FourSquare:Class ‘net.rim.device.api.ui.ScrollView’ not found.

  • Busko

    I did all that and still no luck whatsoever…

  • http://www.facebook.com/danylozano Daniela Lozano

    It’s awesome! But it’s not yet built to work through touch-screen on the Storm! I have to scroll through the links instead of just touching and clicking

  • Dennis Puzak

    Plz is there any info on a new symbian version??? The old one wont work after the V1 API shutdown in 10 days , and nobody is talking about an update :(

  • http://twitter.com/akaCarioca Carlos

    Does it work with WiFi yet?

    Love, love, love foursquare and have convinced many of my friends to join foursquare or switch over from facebook places (which I refuse to use!).  The only feature I REALLY want to see soon on foursquare is the ability to check your friends in with you!  To me, it’s the only area foursquare is lacking compared to FB places…

  • YP

    Pop-up notifications still cannot display non-Latin characters (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc) properly. Can it be Unicode-fit?

  • Wermi

    Is there a way to make “places” the default home screen vs. “people”.  I really prefered seeing that first.  It was awesome to see what was “trending” in the first version… and I love to use foursquare in towns I’m not familiar with.  I could care less about seeing where my “friends” are.

  • Crazyrain23

    How come I no longer get push notifications? How can I fix this?

  • Crazyrain23

    I can’t seem to get pop up notifications any more. All my settings are set so I SHOULD get them. Do you think this is an issue with my blackberry settings as opposed to my foursquare settings?

    I’m running Foursquare on a Blackberry Curve 8530.  I must say that this latest update is a drastically improved user experience over the previous iterations.  The UI is cleaner.  Check-ins are faster and more efficient. Nice added features. I was on the verge of leaving Foursquare and switching to Facebook Places, but this version has changed my mind.  Kudos to the programmers for a job well done.  

    Thanks to all who gave the tip of uninstalling any previous versions before downloading this one.  With this I had absolutely no problems with the install.  

  • Samantha Zinnia

    Blackberry users should be able to choose categories/sub-categories when they add new venue. Can you PLEASE add the feature in you next update! I usually add in the categories through the website, but it would be so much convenient if I just add it through the application itself. 

    PS. Please promote me to super user! 

  • vverheijdt

    @4sqSupport . I am having trouble with my BB8900 with the GPS. Going to places takes for ages and once it is there no location information available. please help.

    Best five new Specials that Foursquare added are,
    - Swarm Special: If a certain amount of people check-in at the same time, a retailer can offer a discount.- Friends Special: If you and a X number of friends check-in a a certain store, you can all get a percentage off.- Flash Special: First so many people to check-in get a deal on their purchase.- Newbie Special: First check-in gets a special offer.- Check-In Special: As long as you check-in you get a deal.

    I can’t see my friends on Foursquare with my Blackberry. I could on my old one. Any ideas why?

    I really like the current look of the Foursquare for BlackBerry app and I certainly look forward to seeing the version that finally includes BBM integration.

    I turned off popup ‘push’ notifications when I left the country for a week, and ever since then I cannnot get them to turn back on. My notification settings are all set such that I should be seeing the popups, but I am not. I am using a BB Torch 9800. Any ideas? I have deleted the app and re-installed several times to no avail.
