Gowalla App FAQ
Is Gowalla App free?
Yes, Gowalla App is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Gowalla App legit?
🤔 The Gowalla App app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
The app does not function without uploading all my contacts. It should let me check in to places without that. If I want to add friends later I should be able to look them up myself. Going to stick with Swarm.
Great concept, can’t wait for this platform to get more updates eventually!
Been with Street Team since 2021, and it’s been a pleasure helping to build and curate my hometown and places I’ve been. Hoping that Gowalla will get updates again and hopeful that this app will fully take off and compete with the likes of Foursquare/Swarm, and especially Superlocal which has been quite a buggy experience.
Gowalla is back!¡!…;)
I loved this app when it made its first appearance on ISO. I was sad that it wasn’t available for those few years but am so excited for it to be back and I’m here to contribute and make it even better!¡! I look forward to finding items and leaving stuff for brothers to find. I would love to be part of the development if possible. I am building the ULTRAVERSE - where the ULTRA EQUAL 🟰 MYTHICAL BEINGS - live on planet 3Earth 🌍
Good visual design, terrible UI/UX
The team focused a lot on making this app visually pretty, but the actual interface is not intuitive to use, not activity-centered, and also very buggy. I was looking forward to the promise of what the original was supposed to be, game-like where perhaps your friends could leave you objects at locations, or even a UI where you can actually see where your friends are if they’re not geographically close by. I’m not sure what problems they were solving when they designed this app, this seems like an art project not a utility.
Seems buggy
I’m happy to see the return of Gowalla. I always enjoyed the festive artwork of all the pins. However, the app performance has been pretty spotty. I’m not able to add a custom profile image to my account. It gives an error every time. Notifications stay unread. App crashes when trying to check in.
Hoping performance improves
Connect with friends
A safe, fun, and beautiful app to share location, connect with friends, and find interesting places to visit.
Contact sharing required
Discontinued setup because I refuse to do this. Also their support/contact email address bounces back.
Gowalla is back!
South by Southwest wasn’t the same without Gowalla
Excitement immediately turned disappointment
I couldn't get past the intake considering it requires contact permission. We should have the option to manually add our contacts. Seems more like a data grab app for ai than loc based social media.
Bringing fun and a human touch to social
I loved the original. The art, the whimsy, the fun. Connection with friends and places is the best promise of social. Bravo to the team.
