Hello Chuck I purchased the app in the hope that it will work here in South Africa but I have no luck. If I double tap on "my location" it says that my location is not available. Must one first register at FourSquare before it works? When I double tap on "compass" it says "north". Regards Fanus

I wish they made a version of this app without the voices though. It would make the app smaller, and probably cut down on the cost. -- Raul A. Gallegos Having sex is like playing bridge.
