Foursquare app for Windows Phone blocked to download for some Lumia 1520 owners

The official Square app for Windows Telephone has had a rough week. A featureless update released on June 24 seemed innocuous enough until users on the Lumia 1520 and Lumia Icon had problems launching the refreshed app. The problem seemed limited at get-go, until a small patch update, version three.5.viii, hit the Store, reportedly fixing the crashes. That 3.5.8 update, nonetheless, is unable to be downloaded past those with a Lumia 1520, revealing an "Particular not bachelor" message.

To be articulate, Square has not pulled the app. Heading to the webstore, the app is still visible, and it does not have the telltale "This app is no longer published" message that would exist indicative of such a change. Instead, the app is being selectively blocked, based on phone model, from downloading.

Foursquare is likely doing this to mitigate, at least temporarily, the problem of new users downloading the app and having information technology crash. It appears from our own testing that but Lumia 1520 users are affected. The side effect, of course, is that people who are currently having problems with the app cannot update or reinstall it until Foursquare comes out with yet some other update. Information technology is not articulate when that will happen though we presume it volition not be besides long.

Foursquare appears to exist doubling-down on Windows Telephone and Windows viii.i as a recent job list notes that they now have a "priority project" to build a "marquee mobile service app for all Windows Phone and Windows 8 users." A new universal app for Foursquare is presumably still a few months out, however. It is also not known if such an app will fifty-fifty exist Foursquare or one for their new service, dubbed ' Swarm', or both.

Nosotros've reached out to Foursquare for a comment and will update accordingly. In the meantime, users tin can opt to use popular 3rd-party Square app 4th & Mayor to go along their checkins.
