Without trying it, just reading your description it sounds complicated and like feature overkill and yeah, they will add more features… really the right way to go with mobile apps?

Yes, their app provides incentives for 'checkins' but they are in general something tedious and maybe the next iPhone OS version doesn't require it anymore.

Will be interesting to see how reward systems can catch on in the mobile world.

I also am in the process of putting together several workshops for local business owners on how to tap into this market.

It is also a game. They could do a few things to tighten it up, but over all its better. I agree that Gowalla is better. It is also a game.
