For fans of 4th & Mayor Foursquare app, note that v3.0 is coming soon. It will have a lot more functions and also the much awaited push notification and Live Tiles are coming. Change log after the break.

The reason for me not using 4th & Mayor is the lack of Live Tiles and also the user experience. With the update, I am sure I will be trying out this app again . Here are the change log.

Big Changes

• Quick Check-in now respects your Foursquare settings preferences for pinging Facebook & Twitter
• New Live Tile Studio for organizing, customizing, renaming, and enjoying pinned places.
• Fixed bugs where places pinned to the start would disappear after a phone restart.
• Performance improvements and user experience tweaks
• Integrates with Bing Local Search on the phone
• Supports Windows Phone 7.5 features like fast app switching
