Last week, before thanksgiving, I was out an about doing some last minute holiday (food) shopping and I thought it would be worthwhile checking in.  Since the API changes over at Foursquare, Gowalla has been unable to auto post from GoWalla, so I've been posting twice, once from each app.

Pulled out FourSquare and checked in to venues without much trouble.  Pulled out GoWalla and I was scratching my head with the most recent update - WTF?  Why is it so hard to check in using this app?  The old interface (the one on the right) was so much easier to navigate and use compared to this new one. There were other things that had drawn me to GoWalla, including the passport metaphor and the scavenger hunt type of surprises that you got every now and again for checking into places, but those have slowly been going away.

So yesterday, after much frustration with the app, and the service  not compelling enough, I deleted the app from my iPhone and iPad.  Appwise, it keeps crashing on iOS 5... and it's only usable on my iPhone 3GS because I don't have iOS5 on it yet, I am still on iOS4. Anyhow...Adieu GoWalla... you were good while you lasted...will be using FourSquare from now on...
