Re: Deleting Foursquare, using Checkie, and getting badge notifications
Patrick, Thanks for the help, that was the issue. If I had no other way, then I would have deleted Foursquare, but occasionally there are times when I find it useful too. Good to know I don't have to get rid of it quite yet.

RE: Deleting Foursquare, using Checkie, and getting badge notifications
Hello, If you delete the foursquare app, you should still be able to use Checkie. You won't get the notifications on your phone, but it should still email you as that part's handled by the Foursquare system itself. Checkie's a useful app, with my only complaint being the options of posting your checkins to Twitter and Facebook don't work with Voiceover. I've already bugged the developer about that, but other than that, it's pretty much all the benefit I need from Foursquare with none of the extra stuff I never look at. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: August 16, 2013 10:44 AM To: viphone Subject: Deleting Foursquare, using Checkie, and getting badge notifications Greetings.

Re: Deleting Foursquare, using Checkie, and getting badge notifications
Hello Wayne and all: I am a fan of foursquare and they do not pay me a dime :) Have you attempted to clear out the download? 1. double tap on the foursquare app on your phone …. not on the update page in the app store 2. you should get a message telling you that the download failed and be given an OK button to click on. double tap the OK button. 3. go back to the app store. the update button should no longer be dimmed. double tap on the update button and you should be good to go. Just had this problem last weak and this is how I fixed it. Hopefully this information proves useful to you. Please let us know. Patrick On Aug 16, 2013, at 9:44 AM, Wayne Merritt wrote: > Greetings.
