Untappd, the self-described “Foursquare of beer,” allows users to check in when they’re drinking a beer.

While some of the original companies are facing challenging times, one app (in a surprising niche), has continued to thrive since it launched in 2010. People were habitually opening their phones to check in to a location and let the world know where they were.įast forward seven years and the check-in app is still around. Foursquare took off at SXSW and shortly after the festival, the act of checking in became ubiquitous. Around 2009, check-in apps became all the rage.
