Like, if you visit a place that you could have checked in to, but totally forgot, is it still "right" to check-in after you leave, or after you've checked in somewhere else? Couldn't people just search every single place you've been to in a day and just check in manually? Personally I think 'Where's the fun in that' and that it totally undermines the concept of the game, but I'm sure there are competitive people out there that want to ramp up their scores and brag about it to their friends. I need to know!

i think that if you forget to check in then you dont deserve the points. its only fair to check in if you remember to do so.

it's ok to check in when you are leaving a place but not when you already got home. as long as you are still in the parking lot or just heading out, it's ok to check in. obviously you want to as soon as you get to a place but anytime you are there or just leaving is ok.

if in your feed it looks like you checked in at the same time to every place that looks bad and may be seen as cheating.

I think they should have limited support to those who have a phone with GPS, and will only allow checkin if the GPS validates it.

Of course there would be TONS LESS players/participants, but it would be accurate.

the thing is tho that half the time the GPS thing doesn't work right away or doesn't respond fast or there are places you want to hide the location of.

I think it'd be cool if 2 peeps were at the same check in point at the same time it would alert you. Just for the fun social aspect of the game.

Been having fun with this app!! Some of the tips are funny.. I stopped the automatic of postings to facebook though. Found it a bit annoying.. not to mention.. didn't necessarily want everyone on there to see where I am, all the time.. and places which can't be named
