I enjoy this app for the most part. However, the iPhone and Android phones' Gowalla app is much slicker :(
Update please!
UI is beautiful but app is slow & very simple compared to iOS counterpart.
I love it. None of my friends use Gowalla, but with the integration of check-ins with Facebook it doesn't matter all that much.
Awesome service, average app. It's well designed and all, but pretty slow especially if you are not overcloocked. Doesn't look like they will ever update the app again, so this is what we get, which doesn't include any of the new features. Def would like to see what happens if a homebrew dev took a stab at this...
After using the Foursquare app I thought this app was slow, but it really is just a different way of using it. With foursquare I almost always had to type a location to find, but gowalla finds my location. The GPS algorithm seems better than 4sq. Plus gowalla is more fun, and the creators seem to care more about the users. Gowalla is a keeper.
Will not down load. Pauses and will not start up again. Trying for one week now
I like it. Kind of slow I guess. Well designed and nice interface. Hope it gets all features from other OSs
It is slow, but i think that may be more to do with the Gowalla back end than the Pre app. Victim of their own success??
I absolutely love Gowalla! I've gone so many amazing new places that I've discovered on here, and shared my own special places with others. I've even made new friends. It's a great application.
Slow but usable when overclocked to 1GHz. Can't imagine using with stock kernel. Desperately needs updating. Please don't forget about webOS!
Only gave it 4 stars b/c idk too much about it yet. Joined it after reading an article abt it on CNN's website. I do love foursquare so I'm hoping Gowalla won't disappoint. Version 3 as well.
I do love the app, more fun than 4square IMO. Just waiting for v.3 to drop.
Love gowalla... But I'm with Brian K... this app NEEDS to be as smooth and quick as foursquare. Gowalla is sooo much better, but takes so long to check in places it's frustrating!
Excellent geo-social tool. WebOS version is as good as Android's. Works like a charm on Pre 2.
Quite like gowalla and this app woks fine though has some bugs
Mine works fine! Isn't slow! I just remember to log out after each use!! I think it's worth a try!!
Read about this in the Chronicle this am. Works GREAT on my over-clocked Pre-
The app is really slow and practically unusable most of the time. Unless you overclock your phone. Then it is usable.
It start out good the frists time I use it now it starting gettin point where tis app is sucks big time I try putting in my picture it didn't show it so one star for many choices you can get out of tis app. And b-cuz it stop working.
It is slow... But yes I like the icons and the social interation. It's an app I use daily
I love this app. Yes it's a little slows it's because it has more graphics and is more interactive the foursquare. I use both but like this app better bevause of the reward system and flexability. I am learning how to be patient. I think this app is going to get better.
This app is very slow. It takes almost a minute to load and check in to a spot. The foursquare app for the pre is many, many times better. Which sucks because I like the Gowalla service much better.
It is so slow. Very frustrating to use.
Mohure. Ponierch
I'm an Austin guy and I really wanted to support this app. But it is consistently telling me my location is unknown and to enable Location Services, even when it is already enabled. I guess I'm off to Foursquare until this gets worked out...but I expect WebOS is last on the list. Crossing my fingers that I even come back to try it again.
I like the app, but it is freakishly slow on my pre...
Automatically logs me out the second I log in. Then writes 'bummer'. Wtf
Oh man this is so painfull. Such a good service but this app oh my gosh! Slow, hanging and draining my Batterie. Don't want to use it...
I still favor Gowalla over 4square, but I am constantly frustrated by the serious lag and load times, the frequent and undependable GPS refreshes and occasional freeze-ups.
Was a great app up until 2.0 or 2.0.1, then some very noticeable performance problem cropped up that Gowalla hasn't really addressed. Have given them a bug report on their GetSatisfaction page, to no real response. Will gladly raise my rating when they get around to addressing this.
Found out about the app on Chris Brogan's blog & thought I'd check it out. Tried signing up on my desktop with no luck. Downloaded app to Pre & was able to sign up. The app has a nice layout, but it stops scrolling, & freezes in other areas as well. Too frustrating to use when on the go. I'll stick with foursquare.
The application itself is very polished looking and reasonably well thought out. With that said, in comparison to other comparable apps/services (primarily foursquare) it isn't quite as intuitive. Additionally, at least on the Palm Pixi the app is fairly sluggish which may not be an issue on the Pre. At the end the day your enjoyment of the app will depend on your network of friends and contacts who also use the Gowalla service. If you have a bunch, it'll probably be pretty enjoyable.
Gowalla is fun, but there are major performance problems with the app and it seems to really drain the battery. 4sq has given me no such problems.
This app is cool, but kind of sluggish... =(
Sluggish ever since 2.0.1. Gotta slim it down somehow. And...I thought search was available in this release, but I can't find it somehow. The previous release was nice and light and fast.
Lagging!!!!
Great app. Looks pretty and clean. Please add the ability to add pictures from our photo roll and not just take a picture at the time of adding pictures
I had this app at a full 5 stars until the update. It is taking way too long to fix the sluggishness. I used to use it almost everyday, but now it isn't even worth opening up. :(
Gowalla is slow to load, and to find your location. The fact that foursquare has a nice layout, loads alot faster, and has more users makes me sway twords foursquare.
Visually, it looks nice, and I prefer the layout to Foursquare. However, when I closed this app, I continued to get requests from it to use my location, even after I restarted it. Eventually I had to delete the app. Your mileage may vary, but be forewarned.
This app has very good potential but is still not as good as Foursquare for various reasons: 1) major performance issues- does not scroll smoothly and a bit laggy when switching pages 2) needs a larger view on google maps when searching through venues 3) as other people have suggested add some form of mayorship as rewards to encourage people to check-in more often. I want to use this app over foursquare but because there is less functionality and performance issues, I'll be uninstalling and going back to the other
Getting the 'Unknown Location' bug quite too often. The versions prior 2.0 worked much better. PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!
Despite some performance issues in the current version, this app works well overall. Really well thought out interface and great Facebook connectivity.
Much better than foursquare. Really fast and accurate
This update BLOWS! Nothing works right and performance is often unresponsive. They are too busy making it work for Apple products. Boooo!
Great updates. Ths app is fantastic!
This app is great!
Fun app. Not as good as Iphone though
Funny app with location probs
This app is great. Now we can take photos too. Thanks for the up date. To get FACEBOOK to work you must logon with your computer and set it up.
Also FRIENDS will not show up if they have not checked in for a while. When they check in they will show up again.
Another app that you have to sign up for avoid and use where instead
We can now add photos, nice update, much faster.

For some reason I can't get this to connect with Facebook. Also, an easily accessible FAQ or modicum of a user guide would be handy.
App was working nice for the first couple of weeks. Now i do have the same location problems other ppl have reported (am on o2 Germany). Please fix this. Another thing: i lost all my friends inside the app. Reinstall does not fix the problem...
Thank you so much .. F loopt
Have used this app for two weeks and constantly experience, as others, location problems. Don't experience this with 4square app. All my Items disappeared today and have now reappeared!! Anyway prefer 4square.
LOVE Gowalla. It's the app I use most on my Pre. Haven't had any bug issues since the last update. Am not having any GPS location issues. I find Gowalla to be far superior to Foursquare as a location-based social network and game.
Great app but anyone else having problems with getting accurate location info? Can't check in anywhere. All other location apps working....hmmm.
This app makes me much happier than the 4square app haha. Is there a search function? Either way I'm feelin it
I think I like foursquares better
Fucking amazing. Love making locations then 'checking in'. The innuendo is legendary.
It won't download
I'm addicted to this.
Really great app! I haven't had any problems at all with any of the features. It's fun and a little addicting.
One of the best designed apps on webOS, and very fun to use.
The new update broke this app. Don't tell me to enable location services when it already is enabled. I was able to use foursquare.
Awesome app. New update allows location adding.
Definitely different game aspect to gowalla from foursquare, more enjoyable and clean. Recommend.
Einfach das Beste der Geo games!
Awesome app and yes you can create locations.
Excellent!! Does pre version have ability to create locations yet?
Like it it's pretty sweet well besides the location is off sometimes but besides that it's nice.
Categories not showing up for creating a new spot.
I don't get it??
Yeah boi!!!
This app is wonderful now with the recent update!
I was using foursquare until I found Gowalla. Love the interface and the add a location addition.
At first I used Likeme, then Foursquare & now Gowalla. This is what I have been missing. Great Work!
Awesome ap for multiple platforms. Well done.
Hatte einen kleinen Fehler, der nach ner Neuinstallation aber weg war. Läuft aktuell um Welten besser als Foursquare für WebOS und ist vor Allem viel viel genauer mit nur 2 oder 3 Meter Abweichung maximal. Aber selbst diese Abweichung habe ich nicht immer. Oft stimmt es ganz genau. Und seit man neue Spots hinzufuegen kann, einfach TOP!
Geniale App mit einer ansprechenden UI. Mit dem Update können nun auch eigene Spots hinzugefügt werden. Möchte Gowalla unterwegs nicht mehr missen und hat Foursquare auf meinem Pre verdrängt.
Thank god you added the location creator. I was forced to only use Foursquare until now. I love the app now. Thanks for the awesome app!
My app is not loading.. After the last update it does not load it gets stucked in the green loading screen. =(
Signed me out, could not sign in again. Now the app stops at splash screen and does not react any more.
It signed me out for some reason and now I can't sign back in.
Five stars since the addition of adding locatios!
The latest update adds a lot more functionality! Loving it!
5 stars since they have updated this app with location creating.
I was waiting to rate this because I knew create a location would definitely boost the ratings up. A lot of people need to rerate this. The app deserves higher. Best app in the catalog!
Very nice update. I'm in pittsburgh adding spots now. People need to re rate this
One of the best apps on webOS. Much more refined than the Foursquare app. Would like pic uploading and comments next, love being able to add spots!
Great app! New update allows you to create spots! Way less buggy than it's android counterpart!
Update added the ability to add spots.
Will kick foursquare now. Adding venus was missing. Now fixed. Here I come :)! App is smooth and looks nice. Greets from germany to texas.
Update added spot creation! Great app now!
Nice. Adds the ability to add a location and stamps seem to load faster.
