Share your whereabouts with Foursquare, Cotchin! and the N900
"...works brilliant for the N900 because it's fast and very finger friendly..."

Cotchin offers a better mobile web checkin experience and support for Chinese users

@hotzigetty

Thanks! We'll continue to make Cotchin better~ ^^

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Hey that looks really promising. Will have to try this out once I get more aquainted with FourSquare in general.

I think you have a real chance here to be the best "FourSquare content provider" for the N900!

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

@cjp thanx!

Cotchin is built by maemo users for maemo users. Hope you like it! And we are very welcome to your feedback:D

Here are some screenshots and commentary: http://themeegoblog.com/2010/06/08/c...from-the-n900/

Great web app!

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Hi Mele,

I only got this problem when I use Cotchin at my desktop without wireless connect. Could you kindly try Cotchin again at outside with GPS active and feedback at here?

Thanks a lot. :D

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

I love it!! Really cool!

Could you put more collors to make the app more atractive?

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Hey, can you make it more intuitive to do silent checkins, and disable twitter posts, etc.. otherwise, its an awesome webapp!!

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

hi igorlt, hotzigetty
Thanks for your feedback. :)
We will keep improving Cotchin to reach your needs.

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

I can't get it to work :( it never seem to locate my position.

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Everytime I check in some venue, my "check in" is being posted on twitter and facebook.

This happens even when I don´t press the twitter and facebook logos.

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Yup, the same thing is happening to me, regardless of whether the option is checked or not.. same with silent checkins..

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

hi all,

we are still trying to figure out what cause this. Progress will be updated here. Thanks for your feedback!

P.S If you encouter any kind of problem, feel free to let us know on our GetSatisfication page: http://getsatisfaction.com/cotchin

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Same here, 90% of times i try to locate myself, it locates me to Helsinki, about 450km away my true location

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

In our experience, the most common way to solve this is to reinstall the geoloaction add-on. :)

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

In my experience i trust to the developers and reinstall geolocation and try again :)

Well actually i tried it without geolocation addon, i forgot that i flashed my phone yesterday :D

hmm....and it still wants me to be at Helsinki :(

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

Would you mind telling me about more about your location and system info? Couse it should only happenes when FourSquare isn't yet availible in your country (FourSquare in now open to worldwide for a while). :( sorry that cotchin isn't working on your device, we will try our best to figure out what happened here.

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

I give it a try monday or tuesday when i got time, will give you a info if something isnt working..

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

I did a test on this, and i found the problem is that once you checked "When I check-in" in Foursquare's official setting page, your check-in activities will be sent to facebook and twitter even if you uncheck the icon. The quick solution now is to change the settings in FourSquare as the attached screenshot.

This could be an API issue too, we are working on a more intuitive solution... will keep you posted:)

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

this is a work around, but if I do that, I can't post on twitter the check in that I want to all my friends to know.

I don't think it is an API error, since Barriosquare handle with this situation and works very well.

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
 

agree with igorlt... works perfectly with gravity on s60.. and on barriosquare.. the only issue with barriosquare is that it takes too long to run.. Cotchin is much more awesome!!

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client

Re: [Announce] - Cotchin! - An web based FourSquare client
