WinMoSquare – Foursquare for Windows phone now in Beta

I’m glad to announce a beta version of the Foursquare app for Windows phones – WinMoSquare.

Prerequisites

The app is only available for touch screen Windows phones today. The .NET Compact Framework v3.5 is a pre-requisite for you to be able to run the application on the phone. You’d also need a phone that runs either Windows Mobile 6.1 or a Windows Mobile 6.5.

Get me them goods

You can get the goods by emailing admin@touchality.com or submitting your email address in this webform: http://touchality.com/WinMoSquare/

Futures

This is a beta. We definitely want to add features to expose the leaderboard, add new friends on the fly, and incorporate any new APIs that Foursquare may expose. There are also plans to submit this application to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, and that will happen as soon as we hit v1 of the app and we’re confident that we’re beyond a beta.

Demo

Here I’ve installed WinMoSquare on an HTC HD2. I’ll let the screen captures do the talking as far as the functionality of the app itself goes:

Screen01Screen02

Screen03 Screen04

Screen05 Screen06

Screen07 Screen08

Screen10 Screen11

Screen12 Screen13

Screen14 

Last but not least, I want to thank the team at Touchality for developing the app. Foursquare away!

PS: And thanks to @kylemce for the name “WinMoSquare” :)

    Looking forward to trying out the beta on my HD2!

    Excellent job!

    Awesome! Will this work with QVGA devices as well, or just WVGA? Not gonna bother picking up an HD2 that won't do 3g in the states.

    Also look forward to testing! Can you please send me the cab

    Looking forward to testing on my AT&T/HTC Tilt 2!

    I've emailed that admin address twice now and I've received nothing, not even a “thanks but the beta testing group is full” or anything? :-(

    Any chance a 3rd party app will be created for us WinMo 6.1 Standard (non-touch screen) users?

    I know that I and a bunch of folks that follow me would be interested if that was the case.

    Thanks,

    Ditto – also submitted via the web form… looking forward to running it on my HTC Touch Vogue! Tired of going through the browser interface. :)

  • http://twitter.com/gtroberts GTRoberts

    I'm sure it'll be released when its “good enough” being a beta and all.

  • dalydose

    I read an article that said this beta was “released”. Would it be more accurate to say that it was “announced”? I submitted the form and sent an email to the address provided and have had not a response.

    Can we get a little info? We are like excited children on Christmas morning who can't wait to unwrap the new toy!! :)

    same here .. I already sent an email on 26th january and now I also submitted the form .. no responce :(

  • jeroenjeremy

    Really looking forward to trying it, but I haven´t received any link yet…
    BTW Shouldn´t MS play a role in creating good complete reference apps for a number of high publicity services such as Foursquare, Facebook (it´s there but it s…s), Twitter (not one complete client), etc.?

    The team is working diligently to wade through all the beta requests. Please stay tuned, someone will be in touch shortly. I promise :)

    Yes, QVGA is supported. Also, HD2 is coming to the US through T-mobile: http://www.htc.com/www/press.aspx?id=121106&lan…

    Hi all, the team has been pummeled with beta requests. We're wading through them as fast as possible!

  • demon_man

    Got my link tonight, got it installed opens up fine asks me to log in, i signed up with Foursquare and activated my account still cant log in whats with that ??

  • demon_man

    i have it downloaded and installed but cant sign in :(

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anand-Iyer/500034335 Anand Iyer

    I couldn't agree with you more about reference apps. The team at Touchality and I have been thinking of sharing the source to the app so that others can use it as a reference.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anand-Iyer/500034335 Anand Iyer

    Not at this time, unfortunately :(

  • demon_man

    how do i log in it says username invalid, i signed up with foursquare and activated?

  • http://www.thiagorsr.net/ Thiago Santa Rosa

    This is what I expect for a couple of months! I'd like to check these features here on Brazil at places marked on Foursquare!

  • siberiantiger74

    Installed in on my HTC HD2. Interface looks very good but have a big problem. Not able to check in at a place. Application crashes on that choice. Is there a solution for that?

  • Touchality

    Hi,

    WinMoSquare is definitely supported on the HTC HD2.

  • Touchality

    We'd love to have you test the application.

  • Touchality

    Hi, Thanks for beta version.

    I've installed on my Omnia (Samsung i900). It could'nt detect the GPS.

    Just feedback for your information. Waiting to hear any update.

    Great Job !!

  • http://www.facebook.com/kareem.johnson Kareem Johnson

    I installed it on my Omnia i910 on Verizon Wireless. Once I get a GPS lock, it works fine. I have to trigger the GPS from Google Maps. It doesn't seem to be automatically aware that the phone has GPS.

  • YodRak

    Hi again. As Kareem said, I run iGO 8 to activate the GPS on i900.
    The App work fine !

    It would be nice if it can detect the GPS itself automatically. Thanks !!

  • Name

    As of version 2010.02.09.01, GPS is automatically detected by WinMoSquare (Tested with i900).

    Thanks.
