The official Gowalla app finally came out for the Android operating system yesterday and I’ve been waiting to write a Gowalla vs Foursquare post for a while now. However, after using the Gowalla app for a day, I’ve decided I can’t REALLY write anything on it because it sucks so horribly bad. I hate that too. I’ve been rooting for the Gowalla app team for a while now and every now and then, I’ll even use the mobile site, m.gowalla.com. Their design is a lot cleaner than Foursquare and I like the way it shows local venues.
But… The Gowalla app has COMPLETELY locked up my Droid 3 times now. The whole thing just shuts down and I have to do a battery removal. Also, Auto Wi-Fi use. Why can’t it just use the GPS system like EVERY OTHER APP ON THE MARKET? For some reason, it turns on my Wi-Fi connection in an attempt to better find my location. This was probably my biggest irk for the Gowalla app. I won’t write an official VS post until a newer app comes out…it’s just not a fair fight.
In the mean time…here are some Gowalla Mobile vs Foursquare pics.
