What happend to Foursquare?

[DivemasterDoug]

A couple of weeks ago I installed the Foursquare app download from the App store. It was working fine until today when I tried to launch it and it was unable to log in. It would not allow me to update my log in credentials so basically my only option was to uninstall and attempt to reinstall and reset my preferences. However when I went to the App store Foursquare was nowhere to be found. Anybody know what happened to it and when I might be able to reinstall it?

I just checked and I was still able to login to my foursquare app, still working here!

Thanks. I might be going nuts. Yesterday Foursquare was nowhere to be found in the app catalog. Some today it is back. Thaks for verifying it still works.

Guys,

There's been a major update waiting for approval from Palm for about a week now. The process has been a little rocky, but we're hoping to have the update out sometime today. The updating process isn't the smoothest thing in the world, which would explain why it temporarily disappeared from the catalog.

Thanks for the update and confirming my sanity.

Thanks! I wish there was a way to check in on line or via sms

I've been unable to login all morning. I re-installed about an hour ago, and still can't login.

I have not been able to log-in all day today.

From reading the posts on the foursquare website, it's not only the Pre app that is down. iPhone and Crackberry users are reporting the same problem. No word from the Android app users. The developer posted a comment (on 4Sq) today that he submitted a fix / update to Palm, but no word on when it will be pushed out. If all the apps are affected, it sounds like an internal problem vs an issue with the Apps.

here is the link, scroll all the way to the bottom to see the post from Geoff G (developer??)
Is there an application for the Palm Pre in the works??

and another
PalmPre WebOS application Fail!

and another
Are all the Mobile Apps down, or just my Pre?

just found...

Just got my Pre on Wednesday and experienced the login issues others are talking about - glad to hear I'm not the online one! I tried clicking on the "click here" link in the last message but got an app store message. Looking forward to getting the update.

In case you haven't already, update the app by running Updates on your device.

Mine works. Just checking, have you authorized Foursquare to post to your Twitter account?
