The app doesn't matter anymore. Twitter is the app now (and whomever else they license their points-of-interest service to). Consumers of their service likely feed back check-in-equivalent data to foursquare, which allows them to do trending and bolsters their database further.
I lament the loss of the app too. Checking in and becoming the mayor was the fun of the old app, and Swarm just doesn't do it for me. At this point I use it mostly as a log of new places I've been to so I can visit them again in the future, particularly while traveling.
