happily using this app, have been using it for some 2-odd years now. however, since the update to v2.05 I have two issues:
1) no points shown when checking in
2) no venue logos in the list

also, for some strange reason the app has never managed to locate my cell correctly when there's no gps fix and when 3G is enabled. when I'm on-line through an EDGE connection the triangulation works rather well, but it is annoying to have to disable 3G every time I want to use mysquare. this issue does not arise when I'm using other apps, like Google maps, and it is ROM independent. (I'm using an HTC Touch Pro2 running Energy ROM.)

Just a quick question, will this app show the check-in special at the merchant page, especially those need to be loaded on your synced credit card (amex)? Last time I checked (2.0.5), it did not have such function.

Mayorship

I have the free version of MySquare and am unable to gain mayorship at one place.
I have like 40 check-ins in this place for the last 60 days, and the mayor has only 3. Is the problem with this app or somwhere on foursquare?
They say I have to have a photo (which I have), I have to check-in only once in a day (I do) and I have to use the app, not m.foursquare.com. I use MySquare, does it count?

Thanks, constantine.

I noticed the same issue. Apparently MySquare checkins now only count if you have a GPS fix, not if your position is merely based on cell signal triangulation.

OK, thanks a lot :)
And how do I get the GPS fix? I have HTC Touch Pro2, too, with GPS enabled and in MySquare settings I have checked Use GPS.
Is it the GPS icon that's in the right corner? Does it have to show all the time, not blinking?

that's correct. just wait long enough, usually it takes 20 to 90 seconds to get a fix, depending on your location. it is practically impossible to get a fix inside a building, so you'll need to go outside or stand close to a window.

(I do hope that the creators of MySquare will resolve this issue in one of the next updates.)

Since a couple of weeks I get the "could not connect to Foursquare" error right after every checkin. Nevertheless, (nearly) all checkins are recorded in my history, but I can't see how many days to go until I become a mayor or how many points I have earned. Are other users experiencing the same problem?

Over four months later, but still no response. Are the developers still checking up on this app? I really like their work, but this flaw really is annoying.

Seems like the app has stopped working altogether now. Could the developers either change the status of this app to DISCONTINUED (and stop cashing in on those who are foolish enough to pay for something that does not work) or REPAIR the app's flaws!?

This is pretty obvious for most of you, but if not: mySquare is discontinued. The domain and website was updated to reflect this state.

Thank you VERY MUCH, specially who helped me with development and who acquired premium svcs

    Hi,

    I can see many people having problems to connect to foursquare. This is strange since me and others are still using it normally, but this does not makes me sure that there is no bug at all.

    So, I need two of you that STILL have problems to send me a email to investigate further.

    Thank you.

    Hi everybody around the world...

    First of all I need to say that I'm very happy to see your feedbacks. Many people here on xda, twitter, etc. saying how its good, fast, etc. and asking for premium services.

    I really appreciate those who helps others on forums, 'cause as a single developer its difficult to answer everyone.

    I'm trying to waste a bit of my time to develop some general improvements and to release premium services. But I have no date yet for you.

    Thank you!
    Have a wonderful holiday season.

    Does MySquare use the OpenCellID database for finding the GSM location?
    If yes, there's a useful tool to fill the database with new cells to make the found location more precise: http://opencellclient.sourceforge.net

    (If not, the tool is still useful ^^)
