Gowalla for BlackBerry

Trying to catch its closest competitor in location based section, Foursquare, Gowalla finally unveiled its own app version for BlackBerry.

Previously, Gowalla has long decided to focus on their own iPhone and Android app, leaving BlackBerry users to use mobile web instead. Yet, this decision won't increase its customer base massively -- again, BlackBerry is still dominating USA's smartphone market share by 35%, latest report said, forcing Gowalla to create BlackBerry app.

I once tried Gowalla's mobile web, both in OS4.* and OS5.0. While it's better in OS5 browser, thanks to Gears add-on, Gowalla won't appeal that much due to its heaviness. FYI, Foursquare's mobile web is much simpler and won't require heavy usage of GPS, allowing non-smartphone users to participate.

Knowing their mistake, Gowalla stood up and eventually swallowed their words. Here comes the contender of location based app in BlackBerry realm.

The app itself is tagged beta, currently at version 0.8. This status allow them to make mistake(s) in their app, hoping to be fixed for the next edition.

One more thing, as Gowalla heavily depends on GPS coordinate, I believe this version won't support phone without built-in GPS module, leaving Gemini users in pain.

After installing and signing in, which was surprisingly fast, we will be greeted by pop up, saying there's updated version. I click the button and eventually it's still the same version with something I have installed. That's bug #1.

Passing the pop up, there will be 3 tab available, Activity, Spots, and Passport. Honestly their UI is somewhat better than Foursquare with fancy colors and nice icons. Ouw, and the loading is quite smooth, obviously very different experience compared to its mobile web version.

Activity records anywhere your friends checking in, including new friend request. Spots listed all venues to be checked in, while Passport will reveal your own history.

When choose not to sign out and continue your BlackBerry routines, Gowalla will pop friend's activity in any screen.

While I like Gowalla's UI better, I feel dissapointed that this BlackBerry app won't allow to add new venue. As their GPS rule is more strict than Foursquare, I found out their app won't easily adapt with GPS's new coordinate.

Moved out to a mall from my place, Gowalla failed to show venues from correct location, while Foursquare in the same handset did a better job. I tried to refresh my GPS location manually but didn't solve the problem.

What's good of this location based app if it won't show you the right venues in the right location? Being in beta version make it be forgiven but hopefully it will be fixed entirely in the next edition.

Anyway, for those who'd like to try, check this link out and tell us your impression: http://gowalla.s3.amazonaws.com/blackberry/Gowalla.jad
