  • Foursquare is usually most useful as a mobile app for phones so you can look up place on the go but having the app on a tablet or desktop has its benefits. The app takes advantage of larger screens by showing more information at once with touch friendly controls. While you probably won’t be checking in with the app, it is useful as a research tool for looking up places you want to go and seeing where your friends have been.

    The app is still propagating across the Windows Store servers so users might be getting a “not found” error. Microsoft recommends checking back later, but the app will be fully rolled out by the end of today.
