I use it fairly religiously and love it. I like the nearby updates for adhoc meetings with friends and - because close friends of mine also use it - it provides a nice way to estimate full party arrival. And it has a lot of Amex $5 off deals. I've probably saved $100 on those. I also use it to find nearby pubs and such when in unfamiliar cities.

And, of course, I still like earning new badges.

edit for additional note:

If you have friends that use it heavily while on tours it is fun to track their travels. Follow an entire band or tv crew on tour and get anecdotes from different personalities live updated as they travel - it's like a real reality show in small doses.

If you like the savings from check ins, have a look at our connected app, GeoPerks (http://4sq.com/Q8uIW3). You get replies to checkins at venues where you have membership discounts and rewards (e.g. AAA, museum memberships, student discounts, etc.).
