badly in need of fixes

two major problems:

1) the google maps integration--while serviceable--is unimaginably slow

2) the app refuses to use the foursquare app for venue info--instead opting for the website

it's not terrible--and could be fixed--but its plainly unusable in its current state and needs agressive testing and updating

So far...ok

I got this app for one reason only: to be able to check in places when I travel internationally from my iPad WIFI connection (since my iPhone powers down for international travel). I've tested out the venue locator and mobile web check-in option locally but really won't know if I "like it" like it until I travel abroad. It's a little funky to navigate and took a few tries to find venues but I think its average at this point and gets the minor task done effectively.

Useful, but not perfect

The app makes for a great superuser tool, allowing you to see and edit all the nearby venues on an iPad! However the app automatically switches back to portrait mode when coming back to it, sometimes won't list any venues and grey out the refresh button and is also prone to crashing.
Since there's no competition, this is my editing tool of choice on the iPad, I'm glad it exists!

Ps. a "copy venue ID" option next to the "open in Safari" one, would be divine!
