Swarm is a fairly new app that allows you to "check in" to any store/location you go to, and see others who have checked in at the same location. Not only does it allow you to see and manage your own check-ins, you can see where exactly your friends have checked in or are currently at right now.
The picture above shows how the check in process works. When you walk into a store or some other location you click the check in button in the top right-hand corner of the screen and an option will pop up to leave a comment about the location - or you can choose to just click "check in" and it will move you through to the next page. Here you have the option to save the check in to refer back to it later.
You can see who your friends are and compete with them for the highest number of check ins. You can also send messages regarding a location such as the example above. This allows you to communicate directly from the app, rather than having to send a separate message. The app also provides you with advertisements related to the places you check in, so you can see what else is out there!
What do you think, will this be the next big app for staying connected to friends? Would you personally use it?
