I’ve been waiting for a FourSquare app on Windows 8 to join the splendid 4th and Mayor on Windows Phone and now it’s here – in the form of 4th & Square from Microsoft’s Brandon Paddock. The app does everything you’d expect and has some great features that take advantage of the Windows 8 OS. Two of my favorites
- the ability to snap the application left or right on the screen and it automatically resizes for the small column layout as shown below
- the ability to have the app notify me to check in – I often forget to collect my points so 4th & Square reminds me with a live tile and a pop up notification. the latter only appears once whereas the live tile will gently remind me that check in at a regular local spot.
Check it out now if you’re running Windows 8.
[note], the app is unrelated to the splendid 4th and Mayor app on Windows Phone by Jeff Wilcox.
