Swarm: how do I add a new place to check in?

Hey, how do I create a place to check-in from Swarm app? I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Not possible. I sent them an email and that was the response I got (not even possible in Foursquare app). It must be done via website in browser.

They seem to have deprecated the feature, more focused on checking into existing businesses. Too many people were using the old functionality to create duplicate entries, or location entries for their houses or street corners, parking spaces, etc and Foursquare wanted to discourage that apparently

It's possible. I've added two venues in the last week, from my phone. You add it in Foursquare, then in Swarm you have to search for it.

You can also create a place on your phone by going to leave a tip, searching for the place (this step is important!), and then if you can't find it, scroll down to the bottom of the list and click "Add this place?"

I cannot even get the Foursquare app to install since it updated. It throws an error about my network, even though my network is fine.

I don't care about Foursquare anymore anyway, since Mayorships are gone. Being a Mayor was the only reason I used the app.

Hum, I just tried it again and it worked fine on my phone.

MAYORSHIPS WERE NOT TAKEN, they were moved to Swarm.
